What matters on a Palm Beach property?

The peninsula setting means Palm Beach properties can change quickly from exposed ocean-facing gardens to sheltered Pittwater slopes.

Steep driveways, substantial landscaped homes and compact beachside blocks create very different access requirements.

Palms, coastal banksias, eucalypts and established hedges may all occur, with species and controls confirmed for the address.

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