Tree work in Maianbar
Bushland edge on sandstone on Port Hacking.
Maianbar is a tiny village on Port Hacking inside the Royal National Park. Bushland on every side and narrow access: the jobs need planning, and bushfire rules often apply.
- 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: Blackbutt, Turpentine, Sydney red gum, Red bloodwood.
