Tree work in Yarrawarrah
Bushland edge on sandstone.
Yarrawarrah is a small, quiet suburb between Engadine and Loftus with the Royal National Park along its eastern edge. Many backyards run into bushland, and the trees we work on are mostly big native gums and angophoras 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.
Trees we often see in bushland edge on sandstone: Red bloodwood, Scribbly gum, Sydney peppermint, Blackbutt.
