What matters on a Castlecrag property?
Castlecrag’s Griffin-designed reserves, bushland corridors and sandstone headlands are closely interwoven with its architecturally distinctive homes.
Buildings may be fitted tightly to the land, with rock outcrops, native gardens and narrow access leaving little conventional work space.
Native eucalypts, angophoras and banksias are characteristic of the surrounding sandstone landscape, while private gardens may also contain palms and hedges.
On a Castlecrag property, the species name alone does not decide whether a tree should be removed or pruned. Josh looks at the individual tree, the outcome you need and the constraints of the Castlecrag site before explaining the practical options.
