Tree work in Sandy Point
Bushland edge on sandstone.
Sandy Point is a small bushland suburb on the Georges River beside the Holsworthy military area. Almost every block is bushland-edge.
- Angophoras drop limbs, sometimes large ones on still summer days, so deadwood and weight-reduction pruning are common requests.
- Big native trees on steep, rocky blocks, often right at the back fence where the bush starts.
Trees we often see in bushland edge on sandstone: Turpentine, Sydney red gum, Red bloodwood, Scribbly gum.
