In many Woodridge yards, a gum, jacaranda or mango tree hangs right over the roof. For a possum, that branch is a bridge. It can walk straight from the tree onto the tiles or sheets and start looking for a gap. Possums often move along the same branches night after night, so one limb can be the whole problem. Trimming those branches back is one of the simplest ways to make a roof harder to reach.
We book a nearby independent crew to cut back the limbs that give possums access. The crew we book looks at which branches touch the roof or hang close enough to jump from, and trims them back to a clear gap from the roof line. Branches are cut cleanly so the tree is left in good shape. This is targeted trimming for possum access, not full tree removal or large tree work.
- Branches touching or overhanging the roof cut back
- Limbs close to gutters and eaves trimmed clear
- Branches near downpipes and fences checked
- Offcuts cleared from the roof and gutters
- Green waste bagged or left neatly, as agreed
If a tree is on a neighbour's block, talk with them first. The crew only trims branches on your side of the fence. Trimming is often booked with possum removal and proofing, so there is no easy way up and no easy way in once the roof is sealed. It also helps keep leaves out of the gutters.
You get upfront pricing on the phone before the visit, based on how many branches and how high they are. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book overhanging branch trimming in Woodridge, call 07 3543 7766 and tell us what kind of tree it is.
