Steep, bushland blocks are our kind of job
The Willoughby area runs from the bustling heart of Chatswood out to the quiet, tree-filled pockets of Castlecrag, Castle Cove and Middle Cove, where homes sit among native bushland on steep sandstone slopes falling towards Middle Harbour. Angophoras, blackbutt, Sydney peppermint and turpentine are part of the local character, many of them tall and growing straight out of rock. The bushland setting is a big part of why people live here, and it comes with real tree-management responsibilities.
The Yard brings a tree crew that is comfortable on steep, awkward sites where trees overhang the house and there is little room to work. We use roping and rigging to bring limbs down in a controlled way on sloping blocks, and we handle tree pruning, tree trimming, tree lopping and stump grinding. For storm damage, our team is available 24/7 for emergency tree removal.

Bushland tree work on Willoughby's harbour slopes
Around Castlecrag, Castle Cove and Middle Cove, blocks are steep and heavily treed, with large angophoras and eucalypts leaning over rooftops and driveways cut into the sandstone. This terrain rules out easy access, so much of the work is done on ropes, lowering timber in sections to protect the house, the garden and the bushland below. Careful deadwooding and selective pruning keep big trees safer while holding on to the leafy character the area is known for.
In the more built-up parts of Artarmon, Northbridge and around Chatswood, the focus shifts to street trees, garden trees and canopies pressing against homes and boundaries. Here we shape and thin trees, lift crowns off roofs and gutters, and remove trees that have outgrown their space, grinding out the stump afterwards. Where views over Middle Harbour are involved, sensible pruning within the rules can open a line of sight without harming the tree.
- Steep sandstone blocks in Castlecrag and Middle Cove are usually worked on ropes, with limbs lowered in sections.
- Large angophoras and eucalypts overhanging homes benefit from deadwooding and selective pruning.
- Willoughby places real value on its bushland canopy, so retention and careful pruning come first where possible.
- Crown lifting and thinning around Chatswood and Artarmon keep canopies clear of roofs and gutters.

"Straight forward process, extremely reasonable pricing. Haris was easy to deal with. Very professional, came with the right machinery. Great work boys!!"
"Haris is no fuss. Met on a Friday and he provided advice and a prompt quote. Next day he arrived with his team and performed the job safely, skillfully, efficiently and cleaned up entirely before leaving. We can recommend him."
"The boys did a great job in a very awkward location in the backyard on a 10 meter gum tree. Their price was competitive and they even took the mulch to our community garden and unloaded in a difficult spot without complaint."
