On Site Consultation

At times a verbal consultation is all that you'll need, where our qualified & experienced Arborists can visit your site & talk you through any issues you have with your or your neighbour’s trees. We can discuss these issues & your needs there & then on-site or over the phone if required including providing hand written detail, or escalate your consultation to a type written report if it's required.

Arboricultural Impact Reports

A Tree Impact Assessment report is generally required by local council when construction or development is proposed near existing trees. We'll advise you on adverse impacts to trees from any proposed construction. We then recommend methods by which these adverse impacts may be possibly minimised or mitigated.

Tree Risk / Hazard Assessment

At times trees can become troublesome in various ways, but with quality & experienced professional advice from our arborists, a happy outcome is often achievable for both you & surrounding property.

Tree Health Assessment

We visit your property to inspect your tree/s & the surrounding areas to explore the trees & site condition, plus gather any relevant history. This enables us to accurately inform you of your trees current condition & provide you with any appropriate recommendations.

Official Tree Valuation Reports

All trees have an amenity value & at times a tree's cash value is of use for a variety of reasons. We're able to assess your trees & apply the 'Burnley Method' to supply you with an industry accepted 'cash' value report for your amenity tree/s.

Tree Inventory

If you have a number of trees to manage you may benefit from our service where all your trees can be located via GPS along with any supporting data such as type, size, value, recommendations, etc. It’s very useful for larger sized properties or government organisations where accurate and/or accountable record keeping is important.

Tree Policy & Strategy Development Plans

At times developers are required to work to guidelines to protect trees on the development site pre construction, during construction and post construction. We are able to prepare a detailed document that enables all the stake holders are able to follow to ensure the capital works do not impact on the trees.

Tree Establishment Guidelines

Newly established trees need to be planted in the correct manner; it’s not a matter of simply digging a hole, shoving the tree in and expecting it to grow. We are able to give you the correct information to ensure that your investment is given the best possible chance to thrive.

Tree Species Selection Advice

Selecting the right tree is critical if you want a happy thriving tree that blends in with its surrounds without causing major headache. We're able to apply our extensive knowledge of trees to provide you with professional advice on tree selections that are suitable for your particular soil type & local micro climate. We'll help you discover some excellent options for any of your tree planting projects.

Although we charge to deliver wood chip mulch, those produced from your property are yours free to use as garden mulch if desired, but can only be left were a truck has access to tip. Recent research shows this type of mulch to be one of the best performing. There are many benefits of mulching:
  • Reduces
    - water requirements
    - soil compaction
    - fertiliser requirements
    - weed germination & growth
  • Increases
    - beneficial fungus, microbes & other fauna
    - soil temperature stability
    - soil minerals & elements
  • Resulting in
    - greatly improved plant performance
    - reduced garden maintenance
    - lower overall costs.
Large diameter (over 6-12”) wood is usually crosscut to firewood lengths (10-20”). This does not include splitting. It is then either left in the property for firewood, or stacked on the nature strip for collection by the public (who have an insatiable desire for fire-wood!). Removal off site can be arranged at an added cost, but it is ecologically & economically better to recycle than to tip!
 
Stumps are ground until only roots remain (may be limited by obstacles) to a max. of 12-20” deep (depending on access & machine used). Stump removal is an inherently hazardous operation involving powerful grinding machines. It is the responsibility of the client to locate & inform us of services that may be damaged by stump grinding (Water, Gas, Power, Phone, Drainage, Sprinklers etc) & although all care is taken, no responsibility can be accepted in this area. Dial 1100 & local council for service locations. Other articles which may be damaged by flying debris should be removed from grinding areas or protected, eg: vehicles, windows, etc. Stump grindings are normally left on-site (can be removed at extra cost) & can be spread as mulch, or composted. If replanting hole, replace grinding’s with topsoil.
 
Extra chipping is charged at a timed rate & is limited to branches free of debris (dirt/rocks/nails). If branches are left large & stacked near access, less time/cost is incurred. Woodchips are recycled into garden mulch.

This kind of mulch has been show by research to be the best performing garden mulch available, and has many benefits including:-
  • weed control
  • moisture retention
  • nutrient supply
  • temperature stabilisation
  • increase of beneficial microbes
  • reduction of compaction
  • supports worms & other soil life
  • it looks good… and much more!
