Geelong · Urgent stump grinding

Stumps out before the drilling rig arrived

A builder needed stumps gone from a narrow side yard before foundation drilling started on the Monday. Big machines couldn’t get in; our grinder could.

The situation

Not every urgent job involves a storm. A builder working on a house extension in Geelong was stuck: stumps sat exactly where foundation drilling was due to start on the Monday, and the side yard was too narrow for an excavator or any other heavy equipment.

The work

Our compact tracked stump grinder fitted where the big machines couldn’t, and made short work of the stumps along the fence line.

The result

The ground was clear in time for the drilling, with no hold-up for the builder or the family living in the house.

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.

Forrest · Tree removal over a house

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.
