What matters on a Northbridge property?

Northbridge Park and the wooded slopes around Sailors Bay reflect a suburb where mature canopy, sandstone and harbour inlets shape many gardens.

Large established homes, modern rebuilds and sloping waterfront properties may place trees over pools, decks, driveways and multiple garden levels.

Eucalypts and angophoras occur near bushland pockets, alongside palms, conifers, ornamental trees and dense privacy screening.

On a Northbridge property, the species name alone does not decide whether a tree should be removed or pruned. Josh looks at the individual tree, the outcome you need and the constraints of the Northbridge site before explaining the practical options.
