Tree Chipping and Mulching Services in Tweed Heads, NSW
What is included
What Is Included in Our Tree Chipping and Mulching Services
- We choose a spot to set up the chipper, close to the pile and clear of the house.
- Branches and foliage from pruning, removals or a storm are dragged to the machine by hand.
- Longer limbs are cut down to manageable lengths and fed in butt end first.
- The commercial chipper breaks the material into coarse chips that fall into a heap beside it.
- Thick trunk sections too big for the chipper are set aside rather than forced through.
- You decide whether the chips stay for your garden beds or leave the property.
- Chips that stay are spread where you want them or left in a heap for you to use.
- Chips and twigs on the drive and lawn are swept up before the machine is packed away.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Tree Chipping and Mulching Services?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every tree chipping and mulching job is done by the people who will still be here next year.
Tested and signed off before we leave
Everything we touch on your tree chipping and mulching is tested before we go, you get walked through exactly what was done.
Local arborists, not a call centre
An arborist answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.
How the job runs
Chips are only useful where you want them
Describe the pile or the job
Tell us what needs chipping. It might be a pile from a recent prune, branches down after a storm, or the crown of a tree still to be cut. Say roughly how big the pile is and what sort of wood it is. Tell us whether you want the chips for your own garden or taken off site.
Plan the machine position
We look at where the pile sits and how a chipper can get near it. A narrow side gate, a steep drive or a soft lawn changes where the machine goes. We also decide where chips can fall without burying garden beds, drains or a neighbour's fence. Thick trunks that will not fit are sorted out before work starts.
Chipping day to the last sweep
The crew drags branches to the chipper and feeds them in one at a time, with everyone kept clear of the intake. Chips build up in a heap beside the machine. Chips you want go where you asked, and the rest is loaded and hauled away. Last, the drive and lawn are swept.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas do you cover?
Tweed Heads, the Tweed Coast, Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley, and the southern Gold Coast as far as Palm Beach and Tallebudgera. Each place has its own page on the service areas page. If yours is not listed, ask, because the list is where we work most often rather than a boundary.
Do you work in Queensland as well as New South Wales?
Yes. The work crosses the border at Tweed Heads and Coolangatta and carries on through Gold Coast suburbs such as Currumbin, Elanora and Bilinga. Which council a tree falls under changes with the side of the border, and that can change what you need to check before a tree comes down.
Which tree jobs do you do?
Trimming, pruning, tree and limb removal, stump grinding, root removal, chipping and mulching, palm tree removal, land clearing and fire breaks, arborist services, commercial tree work, crane-assisted removal and emergency tree work. Each job has its own page on the services page.
Do you do emergency tree work?
Yes. Emergency tree service is one of the jobs on the services page. We are open 24 hours a day, Monday to Saturday, and closed on Sundays. Ring 0458 795 659, say what has come down and what it is lying on, and keep everyone well back until we have spoken.
What is the difference between pruning and lopping?
Pruning takes a branch off at the branch collar, the swelling where it joins the trunk, so the tree can seal the wound. Lopping cuts through a branch anywhere along its length and tends to leave a stub that decays. Pruning is the method for a tree that is staying.
What happens to the branches and the mulch?
Branches and leaves are put through a commercial chipper on site. You can keep the mulch for your garden beds or have it taken away, whichever suits the block.
How far down is a stump ground?
Below ground level, so the spot can go back to lawn, paving or a new planting. Roots are taken out as well when they need to be, and the chips and debris are dealt with as part of the job.
How often do palm trees need cleaning?
Once or twice a year is usual. The job is taking off the dead brown fronds, seed pods and berries that would otherwise land on paths, cars and people.
Do I need council permission to remove a tree?
Often you do, and it varies. Tree preservation rules depend on the council, the zoning, the size of the tree and whether it is a native or protected species. Check with your council before a large or protected tree comes down.
What is crane-assisted tree removal?
A crane takes the weight of each section while a climber makes the cuts, then lifts it clear. It is used for trees that are large, dangerous or too hard to reach any other way, such as ones standing over a house or close to power lines.
What should I tell you when I call?
Where the tree is, roughly how tall it is, what it stands near, such as a roof, fence, pool or wire, and whether it is leaning or has split. A photo taken from a safe distance helps. Say whether a truck can reach the back yard too.
What should I do if a tree or limb is touching a power line?
Stay well back, keep people and pets away, and do not touch the tree or anything it is touching. Treat the line as live and ring 000 if anyone is at risk. Once everyone is clear, ring the number at the top of this page and tell us what is touching what.
