Tree work in Woronora Heights
Bushland edge on sandstone.
Woronora Heights sits on the ridge above the Woronora River. Many backyards drop away into bushland, so trees often lean out over the valley — sectional removal with ropes is the usual method here.
- 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.
Trees we often see in bushland edge on sandstone: Turpentine, Sydney red gum, Red bloodwood, Scribbly gum.
