Richmond Valley Tree Services

Richmond Valley Tree Services has been at it since 2000, based in Casino and working for domestic, commercial and industrial clients across the Northern Rivers. It is a qualified arborist operation, OH&S certified, and the line they run with, tame your trees, is about the size of the ambition: do the job, then leave the site cleaner than they found it.

Tree removal is the headline job and the reason most people ring. Tree maintenance covers the pruning side, keeping a canopy off a roof or clear of a power line without taking the whole tree out. Elevated work platforms are part of the kit, which is what makes the height work possible on trees that cannot be climbed safely, and there are all terrain spray units for vegetation management on rougher country.

Stump grinding handles what is left after a removal, and mulching and chipping turns the rest of the tree into something useful on the spot rather than a trailer load of green waste. That runs into a supply line as well: firewood and mulch are sold direct, so the material coming off one job goes on to heat or mulch another property.

Slashing is there for paddocks, house blocks and verges that have got away, which around Casino is a seasonal certainty rather than an occasional job. Between the slasher, the spray units and the chipper, a larger rural property can be dealt with in one visit instead of chasing three separate contractors.

Council approval is the part that catches people out, and this business is upfront about it. Removing a tree, or even taking branches off one, can require approval from your local council, and going ahead without it can attract a hefty fine. Richmond Valley Tree Services supplies the relevant council application forms for tree removals within the Richmond Valley region, which set out which trees need approval and what information the council wants with it. Work covers the Richmond Valley and Kyogle council areas, and the business runs Monday to Friday from 6:00am to 5:00pm, closed at weekends.
