Native Trees in Replacement of Weeds
The Overgrown Weed Removal service is one of our most popular services. Through this, we have found the opportunity to turn a previously predominantly uninhabitable environment into a space our vital native wildlife can enjoy and use, by providing native trees for FREE from our local community nursery. Native trees also serve as a complement to your landscape, through beautiful greenery and colourful flowers.

The Problem
​
Weeds are among the top most serious threats to Australia's natural environment. They displace native species, contribute significantly to land degradation, and can contribute to soil disturbance and changed burning patterns.
​
Invasive species, including weeds, represent the biggest threat to our biodiversity after habitat loss. Weed invasions change the natural diversity and balance of ecological communities. These changes threaten the survival of many plants and animals as the weeds compete with native plants for space, nutrients and sunlight.
​
Throughout Australia, weeds are spreading faster than they can be controlled. All Australian states and territories have experienced native plant invasions. Nationally, the impact of invasive plants continues to increase with exotic species accounting for about 15% of all flora. This figure is increasing by about 10 species per year.
​
Weeds typically produce large numbers of seeds, assisting their spread, and rapidly invade disturbed sites. Seeds spread into natural and disturbed environments, via wind, waterways, people, vehicles, machinery, and animals.
Our Solution
​
We are committed to supplying and planting native flora in replacement of removed weeds, the amount depending on job size. To support our local community, these plants will be purchased from the Sutherland Shire Community Nursery. Through this, our hope is to promote native plants in areas where weeds had taken over, to help combat the threat of weeds on our unique biodiversity, while also educating the community about the importance of weed management.
