Oxford Falls — serious trees on serious blocks that need serious experience
Oxford Falls is one of the most distinctive suburbs on the Northern Beaches. Elevated, semi-rural in character, with large blocks and significant bushland on multiple sides, it sits in a different category to the denser coastal suburbs. Properties here often have tens — and in some cases hundreds — of trees, a genuine bushland interface and a much larger scale of work than is typical in more urban parts of the peninsula. When you call The Living Canopy, you deal directly with Alex Price, a qualified arborist who has worked in Oxford Falls regularly and understands the scale and character of tree work here.
The scale of trees in Oxford Falls is meaningful. This is not suburban garden pruning territory — many properties have large mature eucalypts in the 15 to 25 metre range, and access to some trees requires planning. We carry the equipment and have the team structure to handle large-scale work, including technical rigging for trees that can't be felled in the open and sectional dismantling where the landing zone is constrained by structures or vegetation.
Bushfire risk management is a genuine consideration for Oxford Falls properties. The Asset Protection Zone (APZ) requirements under the NSW Rural Fire Service guidelines apply to many properties in Oxford Falls, and routine hazard reduction work around structures is both sensible and, in some cases, legally required. We carry out hazard reduction work to the appropriate standards, and we can advise on what's required versus what's permitted under the DCP and permit framework.
Emergency response is also critical in Oxford Falls. When a significant storm drops large limbs on a bush property, the scale of the debris can be considerable. We respond quickly, work efficiently and leave the site in a safe, manageable state. Call 0452 030 077 directly for urgent jobs.
