Tree care built for Lane Cove's steep, leafy blocks
Lane Cove, Greenwich, Longueville and Riverview sit on a run of sandstone ridges and river peninsulas where mature Sydney blue gums, blackbutt and smooth-barked angophoras tower over Federation homes and established gardens. It is beautiful tree country, but those same trees shed limbs in a storm and grow tall enough to reach across a roofline. Keeping them healthy and safe usually means measured pruning rather than heavy-handed cutting.
Our tree crew is set up for the Lower North Shore's tight, sloping blocks, where the house often sits below the street and the yard falls away into bushland at the rear. We climb and rig trees down in sections when a truck cannot get near them, and we can talk you through what usually needs council approval before any major work starts. Every job finishes with the site cleared, and we can turn the offcuts into mulch for your garden.

Tree work on Lane Cove's bushland peninsulas
The blocks around Northwood, Linley Point and Longueville were built into the slope, so access is the first thing we plan. Many gardens can only be reached on foot or through a neighbour, which is why we lean on climbing and controlled lowering rather than machinery that cannot get down the driveway.
The big eucalypts here are the ones to watch. A heavy summer storm off the river can bring down a limb without warning, so deadwooding, selective thinning and crown reduction do a lot to lower the risk while keeping the canopy the area is known for. Where a tree is clearly failing over a house, we handle removal and follow up with stump grinding so nothing is left to trip over or resprout.
- Steep, below-street blocks often mean climbing and roping trees out in sections rather than using a truck.
- Tall blue gums and angophoras over the house are best managed with regular deadwooding and crown thinning.
- Councils across the Lower North Shore protect their canopy, so many mature trees need approval before major pruning or removal.
- Storm-dropped limbs near the river are handled by our 24/7 emergency tree removal team.

Real reviews from The Yard customers on Google.
"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."
