HEDGE TRIMMING:
Elite trees has the capability to do any size of hedge on private and commercial properties. Our qualified arborists will not only do an excellent job on your trees but they also have a keen eye for straight lines when it comes to hedges. If your hedge has grown out of shape our team will have it all squared up and tidy in no time at all.
Our qualified arborists are able to utilise a range of equipment from pole mounted hedge trimmers to Elevated Work Platforms of all sizes. Tree ladders are also used where EWP access may not possible.
Elite trees can schedule your hedge for regular maintenance if you prefer and send you a predetermined cyclic reminder to have your hedge trimmed.
PLANTING AND TRANSPLANTING:
Planting or transplanting trees and shrubs is a significant investment when landscaping. Properly placed and maintained trees and shrubs add appeal and value to your property. However, tree planting is not straight forward. There are many factors to consider when selecting the ideal trees for your landscape.
Elite trees takes into account both your requirements and those of your plants. We consider the planting’s function such as ornamental, shade, windbreak or privacy. We also advise on the selection of different tree and shrub species as not all varieties suit all locations. The form, size and growth habit of the trees or shrubs also depend on the species. Finally, we take into account your site conditions including soil type, drainage, exposure, space, traffic and construction.
Elite trees can source and plant trees and shrubs, from single specimens to bulk lots, using our expertise to ensure the long term success. We also provide care instructions and can assist with ongoing maintenance such as tree pruning.
Elite trees also relocate trees of special significance or trees unfortunately planted in the wrong spot. Our qualified arborists can safely transplant your favourite trees to a new location. The cooler temperatures, of June through to August, are the ideal time for transplanting to ensure the best outcome.
