Question 1

How do you approach land clearing and tree management for Dural acreages?

Accepted Answer

For Dural's larger properties, our approach combines strategic planning with practical implementation tailored to rural contexts. We begin with comprehensive property assessment that identifies management zones based on function, ecological value, and safety considerations. Our acreage solutions include selective clearing for building envelopes, paddocks, or infrastructure with precise equipment suited to larger-scale operations; boundary line management addressing neighbour interfaces and fenceline clearance requirements; strategic tree retention plans that preserve significant specimens, shade areas, and windbreaks; access improvement through driveway clearance and entrance enhancement; and bushfire mitigation strategies aligned with local requirements. For agricultural properties, we coordinate tree work with farming operations to minimise disruption, and for lifestyle acreages, we focus on balancing rural character with practical maintenance requirements. All our acreage work complies with The Hills Shire Council regulations while delivering efficient, cost-effective solutions scaled to larger properties.

Question 2

What services do you provide for orchard and productive trees in Dural?

Accepted Answer

For Dural's orchard properties and productive tree assets, we provide specialised services reflecting the area's fruit-growing tradition. Our orchard solutions include structural pruning to enhance production while maintaining tree health; tree health management addressing specific disease and pest issues affecting fruit trees; canopy management optimising light penetration and airflow for improved yields; removal and replacement strategies for declining productive specimens; and integrated management approaches combining production objectives with broader property considerations. For heritage orchard specimens, we implement conservation strategies that preserve historical value while addressing health requirements, and for newer plantings, we provide establishment pruning that promotes strong future production. Our team understands the specific requirements of stone fruit, citrus, and other productive varieties common in Dural, delivering tailored solutions that enhance both productivity and sustainability for commercial growers and hobby orchardists alike.

Question 3

How do you help with bushfire preparation for Dural properties?

Accepted Answer

Bushfire preparedness is a priority for many Dural properties, and our services address this critical concern through comprehensive vegetation management strategies. Our approach includes creation and maintenance of asset protection zones (APZs) to Rural Fire Service standards, with selective pruning and understorey management rather than excessive clearing; strategic removal of high-risk species, particularly around dwellings and essential infrastructure; fuel load reduction through ground fuel management and ladder fuel elimination; emergency access improvement ensuring clear evacuation routes and vehicle access for fire services; and establishment of fire-resistant screen plantings where appropriate. We coordinate with local RFS representatives when beneficial and provide ongoing maintenance programs that sustain defensible space throughout fire seasons. Our bushfire preparations specifically consider Dural's topography, aspect, and vegetation patterns, creating property-specific solutions that enhance safety while respecting environmental values and the rural character that attracts residents to the area.

Question 4

What council regulations apply to tree work in Dural?

Accepted Answer

Tree management in Dural is regulated primarily through The Hills Shire Council's Development Control Plan and tree preservation provisions. Rural zoned properties (typically RU1, RU2, and RU6) have specific exemptions that permit certain clearing activities without approval, particularly for agricultural purposes and genuine fire hazard reduction. Standard tree preservation orders apply to residential zoned areas, typically affecting trees over 6 metres tall or with a trunk diameter exceeding 20cm at chest height. For environmental conservation zones found in some parts of Dural, additional protections apply that require specific permits regardless of tree size. Our arborists maintain current knowledge of these varying requirements, assisting with all aspects of the approval process including tree removal applications, land clearing permits, and Development Applications for more significant works. We liaise directly with council when required to interpret policy for complex cases and ensure all work complies with applicable standards, delivering compliant solutions that achieve practical outcomes for Dural property owners.

Question 5

Can you help with trees affecting buildings and infrastructure on Dural properties?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We specialise in addressing tree-infrastructure conflicts common on Dural properties, including issues affecting main dwellings, outbuildings, driveways, fences, utility areas, and rural infrastructure. Our solutions include selective root management for trees affecting foundations, pipes, or hardscaped areas; canopy reduction and management redirecting growth away from structures; complete removal with minimal site impact where necessary; and prevention strategies including appropriate species selection for new plantings near infrastructure. For rural properties with multiple buildings or extensive infrastructure, we develop property-wide strategies prioritising interventions based on risk assessment and client priorities. We understand the particular challenges of Dural's clay soil profiles and sloping blocks where tree-structure issues can be exacerbated, offering targeted solutions that address both immediate concerns and long-term stability. Our approach considers both standard residential infrastructure and rural-specific elements like sheds, stables, machinery housing, and water infrastructure, providing comprehensive solutions tailored to Dural's diverse property types.
