Local tree advice

What matters on a Lane Cove property?

Blackman Park, the Lane Cove River and surrounding bushland corridors give the suburb a leafy character beyond its active village centre.

Family homes, apartments, townhouse developments and bush-facing blocks often combine slopes, pools, shared boundaries and narrow side access.

Eucalypts, angophoras, turpentines, palms and thick privacy hedges may all occur, with native vegetation receiving particular attention under local controls.

On a Lane Cove 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 Lane Cove site before explaining the practical options.
