Small jobs in Burnside houses
Housing in Burnside is substantial stone villas, interwar bungalows and high-value contemporary rebuilds on generous allotments. A steady rise toward the Hills face, with many blocks carrying a metre or more of cross-fall. The ground beneath is heavy reactive black-earth clay over limestone at the foot of the escarpment, and the suburb sits inside the City of Burnside area. Local reference points include Burnside Village, Hazelwood Park and the road up to Waterfall Gully. For odd jobs, that mix is what decides how a job is scoped, which is why the block is looked at before anything is quoted.
