Otway region · Stump grinding

A stubborn stump turned into a parking pad

The owner had been trying to burn this stump out for years and needed the space for parking. We ground it out and built up a gravel pad.

The situation

This old stump had been partly burnt in several attempts to get rid of it, and it was sitting right where the owner wanted to park. Burning a stump out is slow and rarely finishes the job.

The work

Our tracked stump grinder milled the stump down below ground level. With the stump gone, we built up a gravel pad over the area to give a firm, level place to park.

The result

A firm, usable parking space where a blackened stump used to be.

Skenes Creek · Hazardous tree removal

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.
