What matters on a Willoughby property?
Willoughby Park and the established streets around the village show the suburb’s combination of broad canopy, family homes and active local roads.
Older cottages, Californian bungalows, renovated houses, strata blocks and local businesses can all place trees close to driveways and neighbouring roofs.
Brush box and eucalypt canopy, jacarandas, palms, conifers and established hedges appear throughout Willoughby’s public and private landscape.
On a Willoughby 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 Willoughby site before explaining the practical options.
