Tree work in Macquarie Links
Bushland edge on sandstone.
- 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.
- Angophoras drop limbs, sometimes large ones on still summer days, so deadwood and weight-reduction pruning are common requests.
Trees we often see in bushland edge on sandstone: Sydney peppermint, Blackbutt, Turpentine, Sydney red gum.
