Hi, I'm Stephen Palucci.

Experience you can rely on

I'm an AQF Level 5 qualified consulting arborist with more than 15 years of experience across local government and the arboriculture industry. Working on both sides of the counter has given me a practical understanding of what councils need to see — and how to help clients get there without unnecessary delays.

I started Escarpment Arbor to offer independent, honest tree advice to the communities I know best: the Illawarra, South Coast, Southern Highlands, Sutherland Shire and South West Sydney. Every report I prepare is grounded in current Australian Standards, recognised risk assessment methods and a genuine respect for the trees that shape our landscape.

Whether you're planning a renovation, managing a large site or simply worried about a tree in your backyard, you'll get clear findings, practical recommendations and a report that's easy to understand.
