Beachside units, older houses, renovated homes and steep rear gardens can all provide very little open landing space.

Coastal banksias, eucalypts, palms, conifers and clipped screening plants are among the vegetation types a Collaroy homeowner may need to manage.

On a Collaroy 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 Collaroy site before explaining the practical options.
