Clearing a eucalyptus off the solar lights at Apollo Bay’s new roundabout

A eucalyptus at the new roundabout on Pascoe and Moore Streets was shading the solar panels on the street lights. We pruned it clear.

The situation

Apollo Bay’s new roundabout at Pascoe Street and Moore Street has solar-powered street lights. A eucalyptus beside it had grown over the panels, shading the very thing the lights depend on.

The work

We pruned the eucalyptus back clear of the solar panels, with the truck and chipper set up alongside the roundabout.

The result

The panels get their sun again, and the tree keeps its place at the roundabout. We do the same kind of clearance pruning around roofs, gutters, driveways and home solar panels.

A dead eucalyptus too dangerous to climb

A huge dead eucalypt stood on a hillside above homes, a driveway and the road. Climbing it wasn’t safe, so Tom worked from a hired spider lift instead.

A liquid amber that kept flooding the gutters

A towering liquid amber was blocking gutters, causing flooding and mould inside, and had already failed onto the house once. It came down with rigging over the roof and service line.

A dead limb kept as a home for wildlife

A dead limb was due to come down for firewood. After a chat with a regular client who loves birdlife, we carved a nesting hollow into it instead.
