Sunshine Coast Tree Pruning
Overgrown trees might look lush, but without proper pruning, they can quickly become a hazard or eyesore. We’ve seen it time and again—branches scraping rooftops, blocking sunlight from your garden, or worse, hanging dangerously over footpaths and driveways.
At Morrison Tree Services, we take a structured, thoughtful approach to tree pruning. Based in Maroochy River and servicing all of the Sunshine Coast, we’ve spent more than 25 years helping homeowners maintain healthier, safer trees.
Pruning isn’t just about appearance—it’s about shaping trees for balanced growth, removing weak or dead branches, and preventing issues before they arise. We’ve got the know-how, tools and experience to handle everything from established gum trees to backyard fruit trees.

Safer Yards, Better Views
Pruning is one of the best things you can do for your trees—when it’s done correctly. We don’t just lop and hope. We assess every tree individually, considering the species, size, condition and surrounding environment before we make a single cut.
Whether we’re removing crossing limbs, thinning the canopy for sunlight, or cutting away storm-damaged sections, every decision we make is to support long-term tree health and property safety. Our team is trained, fully licensed, and uses specialist pruning equipment to work safely and efficiently, even in hard-to-reach spots.
We’re often called in to fix rushed or overdone jobs from elsewhere, and it’s a reminder of why qualified pruning matters. Done right, your tree will grow stronger, look neater, and be less likely to drop limbs or interfere with structures.
If you’re ready to give your trees the attention they need, give us a call on

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should trees be pruned?
Most trees benefit from pruning every one to three years, depending on their species, age and location. Fast-growing trees like willows or poplars may need more frequent attention, while mature, slow-growing varieties can go longer between trims. Regular pruning helps prevent structural issues, removes hazards early, and encourages healthy new growth. It’s also important to adjust the timing based on your goals—for example, pruning for shape and sunlight vs safety and clearance. A professional can help set the right schedule for your trees.
What’s the best time of year to prune trees in Queensland?
Late autumn through to early spring is generally the best time to prune trees in Queensland. During this period, most trees are less active, which reduces stress and supports stronger regrowth. It’s also cooler, which makes it easier for crews to work safely. However, some flowering or fruiting trees have specific pruning windows based on their growing cycles. And if a tree is damaged, diseased or dangerous, it should be pruned immediately—regardless of season.
What’s the difference between pruning and trimming?
Tree trimming is generally about tidying up the outer growth—removing overhangs, shaping the canopy and improving visual appeal. Pruning is more targeted and structural, focusing on removing deadwood, diseased limbs or branches that could cause long-term problems. While the terms are often used interchangeably, pruning tends to be more technical and benefits the tree’s health more directly. Both have their place, but pruning is the deeper, more preventative of the two.
