Avoca Expertise
Local Knowledge: Beachfront Pines, Hillside Gums & Tight Access Jobs
Terrigal is famous for its tall Norfolk pines along Terrigal Beach and Esplanade, steep hillside homes near The Skillion, and lagoon-side properties near Terrigal Lagoon.
These conditions bring unique challenges — from salt-laden winds and coastal storms to difficult crane access on narrow or sloping blocks.
We regularly handle:
- Crown reductions and deadwooding for Norfolk pines near the Surf Life Saving Club.
- Crane-assisted removals on hillside driveways around Terrigal Drive and Matcham Valley.
- Emergency make-safes after storms around Terrigal Lagoon and Haven.
Our team uses safe, proven methods — from climbing and rigging to EWP or crane work — and we always protect lawns, gardens and driveways. Waste is chipped and removed, or left as mulch if you prefer.
Do I need Council approval?
Tree work in Terrigal may require approval from Central Coast Council, especially near Terrigal Lagoon, The Haven, or foreshore areas. Bushfire-prone blocks on the hillsides may also be regulated.
We’ll confirm if a permit is required and help guide you through the Private Tree Works Application process.
