Redback trucks and equipment — On-site tree mulching

On-site tree mulching

Our chippers turn branches, hedge clippings and small trunks into wood chip in minutes. On most removal and pruning jobs the chipper is parked at the kerb and the green waste goes straight through it, which is why the site is clean when we leave.

If you have already cut a tree down yourself, or a storm has left a pile of branches, we can come out just to chip it.

Keeping the mulch

Fresh wood chip is good for garden beds. A layer about 75mm deep holds moisture through summer, keeps weeds down and breaks down into the soil over a year or two. Keep it clear of trunks and stems so the bark stays dry.

Tell us at the quote if you want the mulch from your job and where to put it. If your tree was diseased, we will advise whether the chip is suitable to reuse.

Wood chip mulch from our jobs

Great service and tidy up after!! We called and the team responded quickly and did a superb job! The small stump was removed and the area was cleaned up. I would recommend the service every time!!!

An old tree died. Crew quickly removed it and used a nifty small fast moving tractor to gather and move it 200 ft to mulching machine

Marcel DayanDead tree removal · Google review

Excellent service from start to finish. Great communication, and an excellent job with both tree pruning and tree removal, including stump grinding I required. The quote was provided in person, the price was very reasonable and competitive, and they were able to fit me in that same afternoon to complete the job! Everything was completed professionally and efficiently. Would definitely recommend!

Laura ChampionTree pruning, removal and stump grinding · Google review

Redback have now completed the removal of some unwanted overgrown trees in both the front and backyards of our residential home and we cannot fault them. They are efficient, well priced and leave the site completely spotless. Highly recommend them for removal of any unwanted or overgrown trees on your property

Good communication and friendly staff. I'd definitely use them again. They removed a tree and pruned 3 other tall trees for me, and when one of their chainsaws leaked oil onto my pavers they, without question, arranged for another contractor to come out and clean the pavers before issuing the final invoice. Good service.

Very professional. Punctual and communication was great! The tree removal team, and stump grinding operator were both great to deal with. Very friendly and super efficient! Anniek in the office was lovely to deal with too! Great job, thank you.
