Local tree advice

What matters on a Crows Nest property?

St Thomas Rest Park provides a green counterpoint to Crows Nest’s busy dining streets, apartments and compact residential lanes.

Terraces, semis, units, small houses and commercial premises often leave little separation between vegetation, buildings and public space.

Figs, eucalypts, palms, flowering ornamentals and tightly clipped hedges can occupy small courtyards and street-facing gardens.

On a Crows Nest 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 Crows Nest site before explaining the practical options.
