Tree work in Gymea Bay
Waterfront and foreshore on Port Hacking.
Gymea Bay runs down to Port Hacking, with steep blocks and waterfront homes. Rear access is often down stairs or by water, and large angophoras and gums overhang the foreshore.
- Steep blocks running down to the water, with the tree between the house and the boatshed.
- 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 we often see in waterfront and foreshore: Cabbage tree palm, Norfolk Island pine, Cocos palm, Sydney red gum.
