                 Process Descriptions

                  Removal                  Complete tree removal leaving stump as close as possible to ground level. Process will include chipping of
                                           all foliage limbs and timber and re-instatement of work site. Recommendation typically based on tree
                                           being assessed as representing a health and safety concern [Dead, dying, structurally unsound, unstable,
                                           poor form].

                  Remove and Grind         Complete tree removal to include grinding of stump to a depth of 75 millimetres unless otherwise
                                           specified. Process will include chipping of all foliage limbs and timber and reinstatement of work site.
                                           Stump site will be cleaned of all grinding debris and sawdust and backfilled with premium topsoil free from
                                           weeds.

                  General Pruning          Pruning process will include removal of broken, crossing, rubbing, diseased, stressed or dying branches or
                                           limbs with poor attachment. Additional work process will include pruning to define leaders, balance the
                                           crown, reduce the weight load or clear the tree from obstructions. In summary, to rectify, as far as is
                                           possible, any structural defects and eliminate undesirable growth.

                  Canopy Lift / Raise      Pruning process will be restricted to raising of the tree’s lower canopy to a height specified the defaulted
                                           parameters will be to provide 2.5 metres clearance from ground level. From time to time pruning
                                           requirements may be altered to accommodate various factors such as view, light penetration, vehicle
                                           thoroughfare etc and consulting arborist will advise accordingly.

                  Remedial Pruning         Pruning process will encompass crown restoration and remedial works where the tree has been previously
                                           lopped or otherwise damaged. Not feasible when tree has extensive decay and should only be considered
                                           when there is evidence of healthy regrowth. When performed correctly, the process of remedial pruning
                                           will most likely take several years to complete.

                  Hanger Limb              Pruning process will be restricted to the removal of any hangers or dangerous/dead/dying limbs and will
                                           typically involve the removal of a single limb. In some instances, removal of an individual limb may be
                                           necessary to accommodate an obstruction and the consulting arborist will advise accordingly.

                  Directional Pruning      Pruning process will be restricted to pruning canopy away from buildings/service wires/property boundary
                                           and will typically be performed to avoid future growth in these areas [where necessary clean trunking of
                                           undesirable growth]. Where appropriate future growth will be directed away from obstruction selecting
                                           new leaders.

                  Boundary Pruning         Pruning process will involve pruning of tree back to tree owners’ boundary. In every situation every effort
                                           should be made to obtain the relevant authorisation to perform pruning to Australian Standards and to
                                           avoid “lopping” limbs to the immediate boundary. As with directional pruning, optimum results will be
                                           achieved when it’s feasible to eliminate undesirable growth and direct future growth. If authority to enter
                                           and work in neighbouring property is not forthcoming processes will be restricted to access on clients
                                           property and work standards will be appropriately comprised. Consulting arborist will duly advise client as
                                           appropriate.
