As bushfire seasons become longer and more intense across Australia, proactive property preparation is no longer optional—it’s essential. One of the most effective ways to protect your home, business or rural property is through professional tree assessment, limb removal and brush clearing.
At Taking Care of Trees, we work with homeowners, landowners and businesses to reduce fire risk through expert arborist services focused on prevention, safety and long-term landscape health.
🔥 Why Tree & Brush Clearing Is Critical for Bushfire Safety
Bushfires don’t just travel across the ground—they climb through vegetation canopies, spread via embers and feed on dense fuel loads. Overgrown trees, dead branches and unmanaged scrub create the perfect conditions for fire to escalate rapidly.
Clearing and managing these hazards helps:
- Reduce fuel loads around structures
- Stop fire climbing from ground to tree canopy (ladder fuels)
- Minimise ember attack on buildings
- Improve access for emergency services
- Protect people, homes, animals and infrastructure
🌳 What Should Be Cleared for Bushfire Preparedness?
Every property is different, which is why professional assessment is crucial. At Taking Care of Trees, we carefully identify risk areas, including:
- Dead trees and failing limbs
- Overgrown shrubs and dense undergrowth
- Trees overhanging homes, sheds and fences
- Clusters of vegetation near windows and roofs
- Unhealthy or drought-stressed trees prone to failure
Our approach focuses on selective clearing, not unnecessary removal—protecting both safety and the environment.
✅ Our Bushfire Prevention Services Include:
- ✅ Tree health and safety assessments
- ✅ Hazardous limb removal

All work is carried out by trained professionals using safe, compliant and environmentally responsible methods.
🏡 Creating Defensible Space Around Your Property
A defensible space is a managed zone around your home that reduces fire intensity and improves survival chances during a bushfire.
We help property owners create:
- Safer separation distances between trees and buildings
- Reduced surface fuel loads
- Improved canopy spacing
- Clear access zones for fire response
This not only boosts safety—it often lowers insurance risk and improves property value.
