What matters on a Waverton property?
Balls Head Reserve and the former industrial foreshore sit below Waverton’s steep, established residential streets.
Cottages, apartments and harbour-facing houses may have small gardens reached by stairs, tight driveways or paths cut into sandstone.
Eucalypts and angophoras near the foreshore reserves, figs, palms and clipped garden screens contribute to Waverton’s greenery.
A practical starting point: On a compact or stepped property, the key question is how people, equipment and cut material can move between the work area and the street. Josh checks that route before recommending removal, pruning or a staged approach.
On a Waverton 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 Waverton site before explaining the practical options.
