Your tree leaves as mulch, or it leaves on the truck

A chipper that handles what we cut

We run a Vermeer 18 inch chipper, which takes material up to 45cm in diameter, fitted with a three tonne winch. The winch is the part that matters on a job site: big limbs get dragged straight to the feed rather than being cut down again into pieces small enough to carry.

It means less time on your property, less handling, and a cleaner site at the end.

Keep the mulch or lose it

Everything that goes through the chipper on your job is yours if you want it. We can blow it straight onto garden beds, pile it somewhere out of the way, or load it out and take it off site. Say the word when we quote.

Fresh arborist mulch is the best thing you can put on a garden in this climate. It holds moisture through the dry, keeps the soil temperature down, feeds the soil as it breaks down and suppresses weeds. It is also free, which is not something you can say about anything else that does all four.

Using it properly

• Seventy five to a hundred millimetres deep is the sweet spot
• Keep it back off trunks and stems by a hand's width, never pile it against them
• Fresh chip goes on the surface, not dug through the soil
• Top it up once a year, it is doing its job as it disappears

Green waste and block clearing

We also take on standalone chipping: a pile from your own pruning, overgrown fence lines, regrowth on a block before a build, or a yard that has got away from someone. If you have already cut it and it is stacked, that is the cheapest version of the job.
