There are a number of options for removing trees. Often companies pull out tree then burn the bio-mass or proposed organic matter.

In large scale removals utilising excavators to remove stumps, the stump holes remain. When the ground is levelled out, much of the topsoil is at the bottom of the stump holes. Also failing to take into consideration the time and cost for burning, or the share area that these piles consume; on average from 10-30% of the total land mass area.

Our preference is to use mulching machines, to utilise the remaining residue. You have limited opportunity in a life time to increase the organic matter in your soil and tree removal is a great time for this, helping regrowth and future water retention.

For smaller clearance, or where location requires a more delicate approach we use our tree grabs that hat can either pull the trees out of the ground roots-n-all with minimal ground disturbance. Or remove limbs or tops of trees by breaking them off. The tree grab has total control over the material that it handles, making it extremely safe in tight or restricted areas. The tree grab can remove trees vertically from the ground with ease as the root system of the tree is not designed to withstand vertical forces.

A tree grab can remove a 20m tree in less than 60 seconds or it can break the top out and then remove the base within 90 seconds. The tree grab can also be utilised to hold a tree whilst it is being cut by chainsaw and then lower the tree with total control to the ground.

Mulching Australia can offer tree grabs mounted onto 20, 25 and 30 tonne excavators.
