Total Tree Fella

Timber off our tree and stump removals gets salvaged wherever we can manage it, which is most jobs. We mill it into custom cut slabs for woodworking and building projects, cut firewood out of what is left, and pass the unique timbers found right here in SA on to people who want sustainable, locally sourced material instead of an imported board. Total Tree Fella has twenty years behind it, and Tom and the crew are qualified arborists and tree care specialists working for residential, commercial, private and government clients across Mount Gambier.

When a tree turns into a problem or starts to look like a safety concern, tree removal here is a controlled process from the first cut, and we take everything from small garden trees up to the big ones with as little impact on what surrounds them as the site allows. Some trees are too tall or too brittle for anybody to be climbing, and cherry picker work gives us safe access at any height, so the hazardous or unwanted limbs still come off them.

Tree stump grinding takes the stump down below ground level with specialised gear, so the lawn or the paving goes back over the top of it smooth. Where the stump has to come out whole, tree stump removal lifts the lot, tripping hazard and all. On the trees that are staying, tree pruning is precision work high or low, trimming branches to promote growth and cut risk while keeping the natural form of the tree, and canopy reductions bring the overall size back without spoiling that shape. Hedging keeps a hedge healthy, neat and defined right through the year, and formative pruning sets a young tree up properly from the start.

Trees get sick as well as overgrown. Our disease and pest control work starts with assessing the damage and identifying the root cause, then treating it: mycorrhizal fungi applied to the roots to lift nutrient uptake, stem injections that put the treatment straight into the plant, and targeted insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and baiting where they are warranted. Root care and deep root care go after the root system itself, because that is what a tree's stability and longevity sit on.

Our patch is Mount Gambier and the surrounding district, and the work runs from a single backyard tree through to ongoing maintenance across commercial and government sites. Ring Tom on the mobile, or send the details of what you are looking at through to us, and we will come out and put eyes on the tree before quoting the job.
