Tree work in Barden Ridge
Bushland edge on sandstone.
Barden Ridge, beside Menai, backs onto the bushland of the Woronora valley on several sides. Big native trees and bushfire-edge blocks are common.
- Narrow side access and slopes: most removals here are sectional, lowered on ropes.
- Shallow soil over sandstone means root plates can fail when the ground is saturated after heavy rain.
Trees we often see in bushland edge on sandstone: Red bloodwood, Scribbly gum, Sydney peppermint, Blackbutt.
