Local tree advice

What matters on a Avalon Beach property?

Careel Bay and the bushland rising behind the peninsula illustrate how quickly Avalon Beach changes from exposed coastal ground to sheltered, leafy slopes.

Local jobs may involve beach cottages, renovated family homes, steep battle-axe blocks or larger gardens with limited vehicle access.

Depending on the street, Josh may be looking at coastal banksias, mature eucalypts or angophoras, ornamental palms and dense screening hedges; the species and condition are confirmed on site.

On a Avalon Beach 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 Avalon Beach site before explaining the practical options.
