What council regulations apply to removing trees in Freshwater?

Freshwater falls under Northern Beaches Council regulations for tree removal and pruning. Generally, trees over 5 metres in height or with a trunk diameter greater than 300mm measured at ground level require council approval before removal. Properties in heritage conservation areas or foreshore locations may have additional requirements. Our team stays current with all regulations and manages the entire approval process for Freshwater residents.

Tree removal costs in Freshwater typically range from $450-$5,500 depending on tree size, location, access, and complexity. Beachside properties or those with heritage considerations may have specific requirements that affect pricing. We provide free, detailed quotes that outline all costs involved, ensuring transparency and value for your specific Freshwater property requirements.

Can you help with salt-affected trees on our Freshwater property?

Yes, we specialise in managing salt-affected trees common in coastal Freshwater properties. Our approach includes comprehensive assessment of salt damage, appropriate pruning techniques to remove affected growth, treatments to improve resilience where possible, and advice on suitable salt-tolerant species when replacement is necessary. Many Freshwater residents benefit from our preventative maintenance programs designed specifically for coastal conditions.

What tree species are suitable for coastal Freshwater properties?

For coastal Freshwater properties, we recommend salt-tolerant species that can thrive in the challenging beachside environment. Suitable options include Coastal Banksia, Coastal Tea Tree, various Callistemon varieties, and certain Eucalyptus species depending on the specific location and exposure. We provide comprehensive advice on appropriate species selection for replanting that considers wind exposure, soil type, space constraints, and desired aesthetics specific to your Freshwater property.

Do you provide services for heritage gardens in Freshwater?

Yes, we have extensive experience working with heritage gardens and established properties in Freshwater. Our approach emphasises careful assessment, appropriate work methods that respect garden character, and techniques that preserve significant trees while addressing safety concerns.
