Tree work in Caringbah South
Waterfront and foreshore on Port Hacking.
Caringbah South runs down to the Port Hacking foreshore: waterfront blocks, big angophoras and gums, and steep rear access on the water side.
- Trees lean toward the light over the water, so the weight sits out over the foreshore.
- Steep blocks running down to the water, with the tree between the house and the boatshed.
Trees we often see in waterfront and foreshore: Swamp oak, Cabbage tree palm, Norfolk Island pine, Cocos palm.
