Location: NewportService: Tree Removal
Newport Norfolk Island Pine Removal
This Norfolk Island pine stood close to a Newport home with limited working space around it. The team used a crane and controlled sectional dismantling to lower the tree in manageable pieces while working around the property.

Allambie Heights Palm Removal
Several palms were removed from around this backyard deck and pool in Allambie Heights. The completed area was left clear while the surrounding garden greenery was retained.

Seaforth Fallen Branch Removal
A large fallen branch was resting over the roof and driveway at this Seaforth property. The team removed the branch and cleared the cut material so the driveway could be used again.
Location: ManlyService: Land Clearing
Manly Difficult-Access Vegetation Clearing
Conventional machinery could not reach this steep coastal property in Manly. The team used specialist climbing and controlled rope-access methods to clear the agreed vegetation and open up the site.
Location: Lavender BayService: Land Clearing
Lavender Bay Strelitzia Clearing
Overgrown Strelitzia, also known as bird of paradise, and surrounding vegetation were removed from this Lavender Bay garden. The completed area was left clearer and easier to maintain.
Location: WarriewoodService: Tree Work
Warriewood Cherry-Picker Access
The Leaf It To Me cherry picker was set up on this Warriewood job to reach a harder-to-access work area.
Location: Neutral BayService: Tree Pruning
Neutral Bay Tree Pruning
This mature tree was growing in a confined area between apartment buildings, so access and the surrounding structures needed to be carefully considered. Josh and the team selectively pruned the canopy to improve clearance while retaining the tree’s natural shape. The finished result is lighter and better balanced, with more space between the branches and nearby buildings.
Location: HornsbyService: Tree Removal
Hornsby Tree Removal
This tree stood beside a building and a sloping access driveway, leaving limited room for the work. Josh and the team completed a controlled tree removal planned around the building, driveway and surrounding vegetation. Once the tree and cut material were cleared, the access area was left open and tidy.
Location: BalgowlahService: Tree Pruning
Balgowlah Chinese Elm Pruning
This mature Chinese elm had developed a dense network of smaller branches and regrowth throughout the canopy. Josh and the team selectively pruned the tree to manage its size, improve clearance around the garden and create a cleaner shape. The main structure and natural character of the elm were retained, leaving a balanced finish.
Location: MosmanService: Tree Pruning
Mosman Tree Pruning
At this Mosman apartment property, dense growth surrounded the shared driveway and sat close to the building. The team carried out targeted pruning to create better clearance through the access area while retaining the established tree. The completed work opened up the space and left the canopy neater and more balanced around the property.
Location: NarrabeenService: Tree Pruning
Narrabeen Tree Pruning
This pruning project involved mature trees at the front of a Narrabeen home, close to the driveway, lawn and established gardens. Josh and the team removed selected branches to improve clearance and open up the front of the property. All cut branches and green waste were then cleared, leaving the driveway and garden tidy at completion.
Location: DarlinghurstService: Land Clearing
Darlinghurst Bougainvillea Removal
This established bougainvillea had spread through a very narrow side passage, growing around external pipework, stairs and boundary structures. The team worked carefully within the confined space to remove the dense growth from around these areas. The completed work reopened the passage and left the walls, pipework and stairs clear of overgrowth.
Previous project: Leaf It To Me now focuses on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and North Shore.
