Question 1

How do you manage trees on Cherrybrook properties that back onto bushland?

Accepted Answer

For Cherrybrook properties with bushland interfaces, our approach balances safety considerations with conservation values. We begin with comprehensive assessment examining tree health, fire risk factors, and ecological significance. Our management strategies typically include creation of appropriate defendable space through selective pruning and undergrowth management; identification and treatment of high-risk species or specimens; canopy management to reduce fuel loads while maintaining habitat value; and strategic planning for boundary zones that satisfy both bushfire safety requirements and environmental objectives. For properties adjoining council reserves or national park land, we ensure compliance with relevant regulations governing vegetation management at these interfaces. Our solutions specifically consider Cherrybrook's topography, aspect, and vegetation types, providing property-specific strategies that address practical concerns while supporting the ecological values that make bushland proximity a valued feature for many residents.

Question 2

What council regulations apply to trees in Cherrybrook?

Accepted Answer

Tree management in Cherrybrook is primarily regulated by Hornsby Shire Council's tree preservation provisions, with properties requiring approval for removing or significantly pruning trees over 3 metres tall or with a trunk diameter exceeding 5cm at chest height. Properties registered under the 10/50 vegetation clearing scheme entitlement area (which applies to some Cherrybrook properties near bushland) have specific exemptions, though these must be carefully interpreted. Additionally, Cherrybrook has several significant trees and vegetation communities identified in council's Natural Resources Sensitivity mapping, which receive heightened protection. Our arborists maintain current understanding of these requirements, assisting with all aspects of the approval process including preparation of arborist reports, development applications for significant tree work, and complying development certificates where applicable. We ensure all work complies with council specifications and Australian Standards for tree pruning, maintaining positive relationships with council officers to facilitate smooth approval processes.

Question 3

Can you help with trees affecting property infrastructure in Cherrybrook?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we specialise in resolving tree-infrastructure conflicts common in Cherrybrook's established properties, including root intrusion into foundations, pipes, and driveways; branches affecting rooflines and gutters; and trees impacting retaining walls, pools, or other structures. Our approach begins with thorough assessment of both the tree and affected infrastructure to determine appropriate solutions, which may include selective root pruning and barrier installation; targeted canopy reduction to redirect growth away from structures; or in some cases, careful removal with minimal site impact. For significant specimens affecting infrastructure, we develop management strategies that balance preservation with practical concerns, such as staged pruning programs or engineered solutions that accommodate valuable trees. Where removal is necessary due to infrastructure conflict, we provide comprehensive documentation supporting council applications and can recommend appropriate replacement species suited to Cherrybrook's soil conditions and less likely to cause similar issues in future.

Question 4

What's your approach to preserving privacy when managing trees in Cherrybrook?

Accepted Answer

Privacy considerations are particularly important in Cherrybrook's residential context, and our tree management approaches specifically address this aspect. For properties requiring tree work that may affect screening, we implement strategies including selective pruning techniques that maintain dense foliage where needed for privacy; staged approaches to tree management allowing adaptation to changed conditions; health improvement for existing screen trees showing decline; recommendations for supplementary planting where gaps exist or trees require eventual replacement; and careful consideration of sight lines and neighbouring properties when planning work. We understand that in Cherrybrook's established neighbourhoods, trees often provide essential privacy between properties, and that poorly planned tree work can significantly impact lifestyle and property enjoyment. Our solutions balance necessary tree management with privacy preservation, ensuring practical outcomes that maintain residential amenity while addressing safety and health concerns.

Question 5

Do you provide services for storm-damaged trees in Cherrybrook?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Cherrybrook's established tree canopy and exposure to seasonal storms creates regular demand for storm damage management, and we provide comprehensive services including emergency response to hazardous situations following weather events; assessment of storm-damaged trees to determine appropriate remedial options; selective pruning to remove damaged sections while preserving tree structure and health; cabling or bracing installation where appropriate to support damaged but viable specimens; and complete removal where storm damage has compromised tree stability beyond recovery. For properties with multiple storm-affected trees, we develop prioritised response plans addressing immediate hazards first while scheduling less urgent work appropriately. We understand the specific challenges of Cherrybrook's topography and established tree population during storm events, maintaining capacity to respond promptly throughout the suburb. Our storm damage services focus not just on immediate safety but on long-term tree health outcomes, providing solutions that address current damage while improving resilience to future weather events.
