TREE RESCUE

Repurposing Development Trees Across Sydney, Central Coast and NSW

If trees need to come down for development or safety reasons, they can be repurposed into playground elements or unique sculptures. This is a great way to honour and give new life to the trees which have stood on site for decades.

Timber Creations specialise in identifying key pieces of timber and in instructing arborists on where to make cuts in order to retain the beautiful, natural features for use in playspaces.
