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. 

Why Tree Rescue Matters

Environmental Impact

  • Reduces carbon emissions from disposal

  • Keeps carbon sequestered in the timber

  • Eliminates need for new timber extraction

  • Supports circular economy principles

Community Connection

  • Maintains connection to site history

  • Creates talking points and educational opportunities

  • Honours trees that provided shade for generations

  • Builds community pride in sustainable choices

Economic
Value

  • Reduces disposal costs for removed trees

  • Turns waste into valuable playground assets

  • Results in unique, one-of-a-kind features

  • Can reduce overall project costs

Australian hardwoods are some of the most beautiful and durable in the world.

If trees have to come down for development or safety reasons, don’t let them go to waste - we can find a place for all suitable timber!

The Process Behind Recycled Play Spaces

Tree rescue requires co-ordination, timing, and expertise at every stage.

From initial assessment through to final installation, Timber Creations work closely with arborists and site managers to identify valuable timber, preserve unique features, and transform trees into play elements.

 

Here's how the process works from start to finish:

INSPECTION

Timber Creations 
assess the suitability of 
trees and find the best 
shapes and features 
before they are cut by arborists.

PLANNING AND DESIGN

Our design team works with both
playground architects and clients
to design unique play 
pieces and sculptural elements from the trees.

STORAGE

We work with lead 
contractors to ensure 
timber is safely stored 
or store ourselves until 
the site is ready for installation.

CONSTRUCTION

The play equipment 
is created onsite where possible, or at our factory and 
delivered and installed 
by our team of experts.

WARRANTY & MAINTENANCE

We provide clients with 
a warranty and written 
maintenance guide to 
ensure everything is 
kept in top shape.

EXCELLENCE

All our recycled 
natural playgrounds 
are loved by the 
community, and often 
recieve awards!
