Why choose Geelong Tree Experts for mulching and wood chipping
- The disposal maths is on the page, not hidden in the quote. Drysdale Resource Recovery Centre charges $110 per cubic metre, and a tandem caged heaped trailer of branches, about 4 cubic metres, costs $440 there. Chipped on site, that same 4 cubic metres becomes roughly 52 square metres of mulched garden bed at 75mm depth and never leaves the property. No competitor in this market publishes a single figure of this kind.
- A published chip specification, not a vague promise of "quality mulch". We tell you the grade you are getting and why it matters. CSIRO bushfire guidance warns against mulch finer than about half a centimetre, and the same 5mm threshold separates mulch that saves water from mulch that wastes it. Coarse arborist chip clears both bars, and we will say so with the numbers attached.
- ·Biosecurity handled properly. Agriculture Victoria names infected bark mulch as a transmission route for Dutch elm disease, and elm leaf beetle is spreading west through Victoria toward Geelong. Phytophthora cinnamomi has been shown to survive more than 21 days in fresh ground green waste. When a tree is suspect, its chip stays on the site it came from instead of being pooled into a regional stockpile. Not one Geelong operator addresses this.
- ·Fire guidance for the country we actually work in. We service Anglesea, Jan Juc, Torquay and Bellarine properties in bushfire-prone areas with BAL ratings. We place mulch to CSIRO guidance, clear of the house, windows, doors and subfloor, and we will tell you where not to put it. Competitors in this market claim mulching makes a landscape resistant to fire, which the guidance does not support as written.
- ·Written quotes after a site walk-through, from insured crews holding qualifications we will name. AHC30820 Certificate III in Arboriculture for the trade work, AQF Level 5 Diploma of Arboriculture where a job needs consulting-level oversight. Victoria licenses none of it, so publishing the stack is the only way you can check.
