Three big Blue Gums pruned at Football NSW, Glenwood

Three tall Blue Gums at the Football NSW grounds in Glenwood were overhanging the neighbouring properties. Working from a tracked boom lift, the crew pruned back the branches reaching over the fence line.

Back at the Football NSW grounds in Glenwood, this job was three big Blue Gums growing along the boundary. Their branches had spread out over the fence and were hanging over the neighbouring properties.

How we did it

The trees were staying, so this was pruning, not removal. The crew brought in a tracked boom lift, which raised the arborist high into each canopy, well above the fence line. From the basket the arborist worked along the side of each tree facing the neighbours, cutting back the branches that reached over their yards.

The result

All three Blue Gums are still standing and still shade the grounds, but their branches now sit back from the boundary, clear of the houses next door.
