Big River Tree Services

Big River Tree Services has been working the Clarence Valley since 2017, locally owned and operated, with Wayne on the end of the phone. It is a fully insured outfit running modern specialist gear, and it takes on everything from a single overhanging limb to full land clearing.

Tree removal covers trees of any size, including the ones that have to come down in sections over a roof or a fence line. Tree pruning, canopy reduction and general tree maintenance keep the rest in shape, and palm tree removal and maintenance is listed as its own service, which is fair enough on this part of the North Coast where the palms get tall and drop hard. Stump grinding and removal tidies the job up so the ground can be mowed or replanted.

Storm work is a real part of the business here. Storms arrive without notice and the crew respond as quickly as they can to urgent situations across the valley, taking on emergency tree removal, fallen trees, dangerous limbs, trees blocking driveways and access roads, and the storm debris clean-up afterwards. Every situation is assessed before anyone starts cutting, so the buildings, vehicles, fences and surrounding vegetation come through the job intact wherever that is possible.

Where a claim is involved, insurance tree work is handled properly: photographs, documentation and quotations prepared to support the claim, and the crew will deal directly with insurers where the job calls for it. Homeowners, businesses and rural property owners all use them for that. Hazardous tree assessments and arborist reports are there when a tree needs a written opinion rather than a chainsaw, and vegetation management runs alongside the land clearing on bigger blocks.

The service area runs the length of the valley: Grafton and South Grafton, Junction Hill, Clarenza, Waterview Heights, Carrs Creek, Ulmarra, Lawrence and Copmanhurst, out to the coast at Yamba, Angourie, Wooloweyah, Iluka, Brooms Head, Minnie Water and Wooli, through Maclean, Townsend, Harwood, Palmers Island, Gulmarrad, Chatsworth, Ashby, Tyndale, Woombah and Woodford Island, and inland to Coutts Crossing, Glenugie, Tucabia, Nymboida and Glenreagh.
