Luke Dinan Turf & Tree Care

The Murray grows river red gums that go past thirty metres, and they stand over houses on both sides of the river. Luke Dinan Turf & Tree Care works out of Moama on the New South Wales bank and covers more than twenty towns across Victoria and southern NSW: Echuca, Shepparton, Kyabram, Rochester, Bendigo, Deniliquin, Mathoura, Tongala, Numurkah, Nathalia, Tatura, Merrigum, Girgarre, Rushworth, Murchison, Lockington, Bunnaloo, Torrumbarry, Cohuna, Gunbower, Mitiamo and Leitchville.

Timber that size sets the standard for everything else. A backyard ornamental and a mature gum thirty metres over a roofline are different problems, and the second one is handled with advanced climbing, tower access where the ground allows it, and rigging on the dead and storm damaged trees where nothing can be dropped free. Luke is a qualified arborist and every job is fully insured.

What decides which of those we can do is on the truck. We run a 24 metre truck mounted boom for the large takedowns and an 18 metre tight access tower for restricted sites, and that second machine is the one that earns its keep here, because it fits down a side gate and into a backyard that a larger truck will never reach. Behind it sit 12 inch and 18 inch wood chippers, a loader with a 1400kg log grab, a stump grinder and tipper trucks and trailers, so the timber, branches and chip leave with us. Two crews run daily across the region, which is why a job in Bendigo and a job in Deniliquin can both happen this week.

Around the takedowns and the stump grinding that finishes them flush, we do tree pruning, hedges, palm detailing and rope access work on the trees that cannot be reached any other way. Our arborist reports, tree inspections, in depth hazard assessments and disease diagnosis are there when you need a qualified read rather than a price. The clean up runs to wood chipping, mulching and mulch delivery, with seasoned firewood for sale delivered locally, and the name carries a turf care side as well.

Estimates are obligation free and we do them on site, standing under the tree, so the price is set against the job actually in front of us and not a guess made over the phone. If a limb has come down in a storm or a tree has turned dangerous overnight, our 24/7 emergency call out covers it. Ring Luke on 0457 202 026 or email [email protected].
