Hive has trimmed our very tall cypress hedge for two years now – a major task. Most organisations take one look at the work and walk away. The hedge is adjacent to a swimming pool which requires planks to be put across the pool to work on the hedge, which appears to be too much effort for most people. Based on this experience, I would say Hive are true professionals. Hive arrives on time and does the work efficiently. They clean up very well, mulching what's been pruned and removing all the mulch. Their workers are very polite and helpful. Hive has also done some tree removal for us at another property, which was done very well. Hive's prices are reasonable for the work they do. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

A pleasure to have on my property.
'Prompt and efficient. The job was done quickly and there was no mess for me to worry about. Although I was not on the property when this pine tree was removed, Hive have removed other trees for me and the people working there were very polite lovely people. They were a pleasure to have on my property. I would recommend them to anyone.'

Accurate and clearly itemised quote.
'David came out and quoted the job as scheduled and the visually presented quote was accurate and itemised clearly so I knew exactly what tree work was planned. Michael and his team came today, very prompt service indeed, and they worked safely and got the job done! I like how Michael referred to his staff as 'family', says a lot about the ethics of the business.'

You made it so much easier.
'Every part of the process was great from quote to the tree removal. Excellent communications all the way along the line. The team today were super efficient. The job was done with no fuss. David was great and was aware of protecting the garden and the house etc. Clean up was perfect. Thanks to everyone on the team. I was sad to have to lose this tree and you made it so much easier.'

We can provide advice and a free quote for what to do with your tree which is affecting your powerlines. In many cases, the tree in question doesn’t need to be removed but just needs a careful prune, keeping the tree happy and healthy while protecting your power lines and other service wires.
There is no standard answer that will fit every possible scenario, as every site and circumstance is unique. The best way forward is to always seek the help of a tree professional to help advocate and understand the situation and to suggest the best possible path forward -- both from the tree’s health, sustainability and longevity perspective, but also from a neighbourhood relationship perspective.
Some trees in this scenario are protected by local councils, and some trees’ form and structure grow in such a manner as to prohibit ‘pruning the tree back to the fence line’, as it may lead to a potential risk of over-pruning the tree and or detrimentally impacting the tree’s health.
Generally speaking, neighbouring tree branches can be pruned back to fence line, or just beyond, or as discussed and approved by the owner, to attempt to best meet Australian arboricultural pruning standards and practices. These branches can then be given back to your neighbour, as they belong to them.
However, the practice of pruning your neighbour’s tree branches and then throwing them back over their fence is not a practice that we recommend. We highly suggest calling us to come and help find a reasonable solution, mediating for the best scenario moving forward, which may include pruning and removing branches with both parties contributing to the cost.
If in doubt we recommend seeking the advice of a suitably qualified legal professional.
