Riverina Tree Services

Riverina Tree Services works out of Leeton and covers a 200 kilometre radius across the Riverina. The team is small and specific: two qualified arborists and a horticulturalist, with around ten years of work behind them. Their own tagline is small enough to care, big enough to handle the job, and it is a fair summary of the setup.

Tree removal starts with working out what has actually gone wrong, including damage caused by storms or severe weather, before anything is cut. The climber then dismantles the tree in sections with the crew working below, which is how a large tree comes out of a tight backyard without taking the fence or the roof with it. Green waste is cleared and the site swept before they leave. Tree pruning is climber work as well, at any height, and comes with advice on whether a tree wants thinning, raising or reduction rather than a blanket cut.

Trimming and lopping get separated properly here. Trimming is for appearance or to take out dead and damaged growth; lopping is for the practical reasons, clearing a view, letting light into a house, or stopping a limb reaching the roof. The tree and its position are assessed before anything is decided. Trimming around power lines is part of the work. Tree care is the ongoing side, where the aim is to take off what needs to go without doing damage the tree cannot recover from.

Stump removal comes in three forms: extraction, chemical treatment, and stump grinding, which is the method they recommend. The grinder runs a metal blade with tungsten teeth and takes a stump to ground level or below, cutting the roots off so it stops shooting. Vegetation control is a bigger scale again, backed by over a decade of council work: mowers and slashers for road shoulders and open ground, plus their own excavator and bobcat for slashing and land clearing on development sites and house blocks. Mulching rounds it out, with the horticulturalist advising on what suits a given garden.

The business covers Leeton and the wider Riverina region within roughly 200 kilometres, and says it is available 24/7. Quotes and call-outs go through 0427 536 709.
