Skilled, qualified tree care for Avalon's unique properties
Avalon is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and characterful suburbs on the Northern Beaches. Sitting at the northern end of the peninsula with Pittwater to the west and the Pacific to the east, Avalon Parade, Old Barrenjoey Road and the winding village streets are lined with some of the most impressive established trees anywhere in Sydney. This is a suburb where the landscape — and the trees within it — define the character of the place. We treat every job here with the care and skill that the setting deserves.
Avalon's gardens are known for their maturity and diversity. Large Angophora costata (Sydney Red Gum) specimens dominate the ridgelines and bigger blocks, their spreading canopies sometimes spanning 15 metres or more. Old Moreton Bay Figs (Ficus macrophylla) appear in Avalon's parks and in a number of established gardens — magnificent trees that require careful assessment when they begin impacting structures or paving. Tropical-style gardens are also common here, with Bangalow Palms (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana) and Cocos Palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana) forming a lush canopy on many properties. Cocos Palm seed pods in particular can create significant maintenance obligations and we carry out regular maintenance to keep them under control.
The prestige waterfront properties on Pittwater require a particularly high standard of work. Access is often restricted, views are sensitive, and the expectations of property owners are understandably high. We have the skills, equipment and attention to detail that this kind of work demands. We are also experienced in working on the steep and sloping blocks that are common throughout Avalon — from gentle garden slopes to near-vertical sandstone faces where rope access and technical rigging are required.
Avalon's proximity to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the north means that properties near the park boundary must be managed with particular care. Trees overhanging from or into the park boundary require understanding of permit obligations on both sides, and any work near bushland interfaces needs to be carried out with ecological sensitivity.
