Bushland edge on sandstone.
- Big native trees on steep, rocky blocks, often right at the back fence where the bush starts.
- 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.

Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Picnic Point?
56% of Picnic Point is mapped as bush fire prone land. Some homes here may be able to use the 10/50 rule, but it's decided address by address, so check yours with the RFS tool first. The RFS 10/50 tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.
Do you work in Picnic Point?
Yes. We work right across Sydney from four bases (Engadine, Ryde, Gordon and Bankstown), including Picnic Point and nearby Sandy Point, Revesby Heights and Pleasure Point.
How much does tree removal cost in Picnic Point?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On steep, rocky bushland blocks most removals are sectional, lowered on ropes, which takes longer than a clear drop. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
