If You’re Renovating in Tighes Hill

Tighes Hill has seen a wave of renovation activity over the past decade as buyers move into the suburb attracted by its proximity to the CBD and the relative affordability of its housing stock. Renovating an older property almost always surfaces tree questions that weren’t obvious when the property was purchased.

Roots under a slab. A large tree too close to a new extension. Branches that will need to go to make room for a second storey. Trees that were manageable when the garden was neglected but need proper attention now that someone is actually using the space.

We work with renovators at all stages, pre-renovation assessment to understand what the trees will and won’t tolerate, removal of trees that genuinely need to go, and structural pruning to integrate existing trees into the new garden layout.
The earlier in the renovation process you talk to an arborist, the more options you have.

Trees We Commonly Work With In Tighes Hill

  • Self-seeded eucalypts are common on older Tighes Hill blocks, trees that established themselves in corners and along fences over the years and have since grown far beyond what the site can comfortably accommodate. They’re often structurally sound but positioned badly, and the question is usually whether management or removal is the more sensible long-term call.
  • Camphor Laurels appear regularly on older inner-city properties throughout this part of Newcastle. Camphor Laurel is listed as an invasive weed in NSW : https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/] and Newcastle City Council encourages their removal. Large specimens require careful assessment before work begins, the canopy and root system of a mature Camphor Laurel is more substantial than most people expect.
  • Cocos Palms are a recurring headache across Tighes Hill and the surrounding inner suburbs. They were fashionable once. They drop fronds constantly, their fruit creates a mess. If you have one and you’re ready to be rid of it, we can help.
  • Established ornamentals — older Jacarandas, Crepe Myrtles, and the occasional Port Jackson Fig are throughout the suburb. These are generally well-behaved trees that respond well to proper pruning. The key word is proper — Jacarandas in particular are often lopped badly by operators who don’t understand the species, which creates structural problems and poor regrowth that causes more work down the track.

Waratah Professional Tree Care has trimmed our massive Iron Bark tree a number of times - last week being the latest. Steven is nothing short of amazing as he navigates up and down, from limb to limb, trimming off branches which are bigger than most trees. He and his crew are fantastic - left our tree with a great new "hair cut" which will keep it safe and left the yard tidier than it was when they arrived. Highly reccommend!

Waratah Professional Tree Care  has been pruning my trees for some years now and always do a great job. This time around I had two rogue trees at the front of my home which needed to be removed. The quote was a fair one and it all went ahead. I am simply in awe of this team,as I watched some of the time. They know exactly what they are doing and they do it well. They kept me informed on everything and were very respectful. Safety was an issue,  as one tree was very big. They managed it all very well. After all that, they trimmed my grass, tidied up - and my front lawn looked the best it has been in some time. I was advised as to what would happen in regard to the Tree stump. The team came one week after and sorted that out. I would recommend this team to anyone.  In fact, they will be doing more work for me soon!
