Tree work in Cremorne Point
Waterfront and foreshore on Sydney Harbour.
- Access is the whole job: stairs, inclinators, a crane over the house, or working from the water. We have taken the truck and chipper across by barge.
- 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: Blackbutt, Swamp oak, Cabbage tree palm, Norfolk Island pine.

How much does tree removal cost in Cremorne Point?
