Question 1

What services do you provide for Nelson's rural properties?

Accepted Answer

For Nelson's diverse rural properties, we provide comprehensive management solutions addressing the specific challenges these properties present. Our acreage services include property-wide tree assessment identifying management priorities across different zones; strategic view corridor management enhancing outlook while preserving privacy and character; boundary management addressing shared tree responsibilities and neighbour considerations; driveway and access clearance ensuring reliable property entry regardless of conditions; and whole-property safety assessment identifying potential hazards while developing prioritised management plans. For properties with both landscaped gardens and natural areas, we implement integrated approaches that satisfy different management objectives across various zones. We understand the particular soil conditions and native vegetation communities of Nelson, delivering property-specific solutions that enhance enjoyment and functionality while preserving natural values. Our rural property services include ongoing management programs that maintain property safety and functionality through scheduled maintenance tailored to specific priorities. For properties with specific agricultural or livestock requirements, we provide specialised solutions ensuring compatibility between tree management and property use objectives.

Question 2

How do you help with bushfire preparation for Nelson properties?

Accepted Answer

Bushfire risk management is particularly important throughout Nelson due to its extensive vegetation and rural context. Our comprehensive approach includes creation and maintenance of asset protection zones (APZs) to Rural Fire Service standards, implementing appropriate vegetation management that balances safety with aesthetic and environmental values; strategic management of high-risk species while preserving significant specimens where appropriate; fuel load reduction through carefully planned undergrowth management and ground fuel strategies; selection and placement of fire-resistant species for strategic landscaping; and specific solutions for properties on ridge tops or backing onto bushland reserves. We coordinate with local bushfire management authorities when beneficial and provide ongoing maintenance programs that sustain defendable space without compromising landscape character. Our approach specifically considers Nelson's topography and vegetation patterns, creating property-specific solutions that enhance safety while respecting the area's distinctive rural appeal. We understand the particular challenges of managing larger properties for bushfire safety, implementing zoned approaches that prioritise dwelling protection while maintaining broader landscape values. We also provide comprehensive documentation supporting insurance requirements and can assist with bushfire assessment certifications when required.

Question 3

What council regulations apply to tree work in Nelson?

Accepted Answer

Tree management in Nelson falls under The Hills Shire Council's Development Control Plan and tree preservation provisions, with specific requirements depending on property zoning and environmental overlays. For rural-zoned properties, protection typically applies to trees over 6 metres in height or with a trunk diameter exceeding 20cm at chest height, with additional provisions for certain native species regardless of size. Properties with environmental protection overlays, which occur in parts of Nelson with significant biodiversity values, have more stringent requirements regardless of tree size. Council also implements specific controls for properties in designated bushfire-prone areas, with certain allowances for vegetation management supporting bushfire safety. Our arborists maintain current understanding of these requirements and assist with all aspects of the approval process, including tree removal applications, arborist reports supporting Development Applications, and bushfire assessment documentation where applicable. We ensure all work complies with relevant Australian Standards and council specifications, maintaining positive relationships with council officers to facilitate smooth approval processes while achieving practical outcomes for Nelson property owners.

Question 4

How do you handle large tree removals on Nelson properties?

Accepted Answer

Large tree removal in Nelson's rural context requires specialised equipment and expertise, which we provide through comprehensive removal solutions tailored to property conditions. Our approach includes detailed pre-removal assessment determining appropriate techniques suited to specific site conditions; access planning minimising impact on surrounding landscape and infrastructure; specialised equipment deployment enabling safe removal of substantial specimens even in challenging locations; processing options including on-site mulching or timber recovery when desired; and thorough clean-up leaving your property in optimal condition. For remote locations within larger properties, we implement specific strategies enabling efficient work without established access. Our removal techniques prioritise precision and control, particularly important near structures, services or significant landscape features. We coordinate with council when required, managing all aspects of the approval process, and can provide comprehensive documentation supporting insurance claims when storm damage necessitates removal. Our Nelson experience includes management of significant specimens throughout the area's varied terrain, with particular expertise in the specific challenges presented by the suburb's established rural properties and bushland interfaces. All removals are conducted with full insurance coverage and strict adherence to Australian safety standards.

Question 5

Do you provide services for agricultural properties in Nelson?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide comprehensive tree management services supporting agricultural operations throughout Nelson. Our agricultural services include boundary windbreak establishment and maintenance protecting crops and livestock from environmental stresses; strategic shade tree management enhancing livestock welfare while minimising paddock impacts; orchard perimeter management controlling pest and disease vectors while preserving beneficial wildlife habitat; dam and waterway tree management protecting water quality while ensuring access and functionality; fire break establishment and maintenance providing crucial protection for agricultural assets; selective paddock tree management preserving valuable shade while addressing safety or operational concerns; and integrated management balancing productive land use with conservation values when applicable. We understand the particular requirements of agricultural operations, implementing solutions that enhance farm functionality while recognising the value of strategic tree retention. Our approach specifically considers the needs of different agricultural enterprises, from intensive horticulture to livestock grazing, delivering targeted solutions aligned with operational objectives. For properties undertaking agricultural development, we provide land clearing services compliant with relevant regulations while preserving strategic tree assets where beneficial. We work effectively with farm contractors, coordinating tree management with broader agricultural operations for optimal outcomes. Our comprehensive understanding of Nelson's rural landscape allows us to deliver solutions that support sustainable agricultural operations while maintaining the scenic rural character that defines the area.

Question 6

How do you address trees affecting dams and waterways on Nelson properties?

Accepted Answer

We provide specialised tree management services for properties with dams, creeks and other water features, which are common throughout Nelson. Our waterway management includes assessment of tree stability near water bodies, identifying potential risks due to soil saturation or erosion; selective removal of problematic species impacting water quality through excessive leaf or fruit drop; strategic planting recommendations enhancing waterway stability and function through appropriate species selection; management of weed species competing with desirable vegetation near water features; and specialised removal techniques minimising disturbance to sensitive riparian environments. We understand the ecological value of healthy waterways on rural properties, implementing management that enhances these assets while addressing practical concerns. For properties with dams, we provide specific solutions addressing water quality management, bank stability, and functional access, with particular attention to species that may cause problems through invasive root systems or excessive debris. Our techniques comply with relevant waterway protection regulations, and we coordinate with appropriate authorities when working near significant watercourses. We bring practical experience in Nelson's specific waterway types, implementing solutions suited to local soil conditions and drainage patterns.
