Ongoing Care For Your Trees
At Summit Tree Services on the Sunshine Coast, we see tree maintenance as a simple way to avoid big problems later. We help keep branches away from roofs, driveways and play areas, manage shade where you need more light and keep trees looking healthy instead of wild and overgrown.
We can set up a regular maintenance plan or just check in after storm season to spot issues early. Our crew looks for deadwood, structural problems and clearance risks, then takes care of them in one visit. To talk through a tree maintenance plan that suits your property, call 0487 907 783.

Frequently Asked Questions
Regular tree maintenance helps prevent surprises, keeps properties safer and supports healthier growth, especially in storm-prone areas and established gardens.
How often should trees be professionally maintained?
Maintenance frequency depends on species, age, exposure and location. Many suburban trees benefit from a check every one to three years, while fast-growing or high-risk trees near homes, driveways or play areas may need more frequent attention. Regular inspections help catch deadwood, structural problems and clearance issues before they become urgent.
What does routine tree maintenance usually involve?
Routine maintenance can include removing dead or dying branches, thinning dense canopies to improve light and airflow, lifting low limbs over paths and driveways and tidying storm-damaged tips. It may also involve checking root zones, watching for pests or disease and ensuring branches are not rubbing on roofs, sheds or nearby structures.
Why is tree maintenance important before storm season?
Well-maintained trees are less likely to shed large limbs or fail unexpectedly in high winds. Removing obvious deadwood, reducing weight on extended branches and addressing structural defects lowers the chance of damage to roofs, cars or fences. Checking trees before storm season also gives time to plan any larger works if problems are found.
Staying Ahead Of Problems
Tree maintenance can include selective pruning, crown lifting over paths and driveways, removing dead or rubbing branches and tidying storm-damaged tips before they fail. It often involves checking root zones, monitoring leaning trees and keeping growth away from gutters, sheds and service lines where permitted. Scheduled visits suit body corporate sites, rental properties and larger residential blocks that need consistent, reliable tree care.
