Storm Damage Oak Tree in Dandenong Ranges

Posted by admin at 3:46 pm

A large Oak tree in Mt Dandenong was damaged during a severe storm. One half of it landed on the owners property, the other half of the tree landed on the neighbours.

Sherbrooke Tree Service was engaged to perform the tree removal. Our new 8″ Rayco Chipper was used to create a mulch for the customer and the trunk was cut up for firewood.

The nature of the large tree’s in the Dandenong Ranges coupled with the rigging equipment we’ve accumulated in over 30 years of servicing the area means we are efficient and safe in handling emergency tree works, storm damage clean-ups and complex tree rigging tasks.

Wood Chipping One Tree Hill

Posted by admin at 12:06 am

Our new Rayco mulcher has arrived and it got a test run at One Tree Hill on Mt Dandenong. We fell two tree’s then chipped the heads and branches.
The 8″ chipper can be towed behind a standard four wheel drive, and is fantastic for jobs where there are access limitations.
The mulch is produces is fine and consistent, fantastic to handle.

The two tree’s were part of a fire break easement that we were helping to clear. The wood was put into the forest using our excavator with the log grab.
By using our excavator on jobs like this, the manual, back breaking work of cutting up all the wood and rolling it aside is forgotten – allowing us to be more efficient and safer.
