'From obtaining a quote, to work on the day, David and his team were professional, efficient and exceptional. David impressed from the beginning with excellent knowledge, and the job report was concise, covering all discussed tasks. The job report was most helpful when checking in with council about works to be undertaken under Heritage Victoria. We will definitely use and recommend Hive due to the expertise, care and safety exhibited during the removal of trees, along with the excellent communication, punctuality and cleanliness of the site at the completion of the works.'

'The entire team’s knowledge of trees, advice, and ability to attend to urgent matters on a very challenging property is outstanding, and something which extends throughout all aspects of their business. We have had the privilege of Hive attend to very complex tree issues over many years, as well as rely on them to give us truthful limb protection and safety advice annually. It’s with all that awareness we regularly recommend Hive to members of our family and friends, many of whom have become ongoing customers too. We can’t thank Hive enough for all their support and look forward to many more years of collaboration!'

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.
We are passionate about making a difference in people's lives and gardens.
