Sydney Water needed to excavate and repair a broken sewer line in Arncliffe, and a large tree was standing over the dig. Its canopy spread across four backyards, and the only way in was through tight access between the properties.
How we did it
The crew brought in a tracked spider lift, which fits through a narrow gap and sets up on a small footprint. From the basket the arborist worked from the top down, taking the canopy off in sections. With the canopy gone, the trunk came down in short lengths until only a stump was left, and that was cut back to ground level.
The result
The tree is down to ground level and the site is clear for Sydney Water’s crew to excavate and repair the sewer line. The four backyards it spread over are clear again.
If a tree is in the way of works on your property, or it is simply in a spot that is hard to reach, send us a photo or call us. We’ll come and look, tell you whether Bayside Council needs to approve the removal, and give you a free quote.
