Frequently Asked Questions

Q1.How much does it cost to rent a mulcher/wood chipper?
A. The cost of rental/hire within Australia of most mulchers/ chippers ranges between $140- $400 over a 24-hour hire period, depending on the machine quality, size and rental service.

Ranging from every small to large tree, it can cost between $140- $1400 dollars per tree to have them professionally removed (averaging around $500); this being dependant on the tree height, diameter, condition, wood type, and location. The low cost of rental makes it not only cost-effective but also convenient to rent if one or multiple trees have to be removed.

Q3. What does a mulcher/ wood chipper do?
A. A mulcher is a landscaping/ horticulturalists machine that uses large rotating blades in order to disintegrate tree bodies into small wood chips; making them useful for rubbish removal, outdoor flooring and soil fertilization.

Q4. How long does it take to mulch a tree?
A. Depending on the size it can take anywhere between 20 min – 3 hours to completely mulch a standard tree, this has more to do with the preparation stages of cutting branches and checking for damaging objects (e.g nails/ rope).

Q5. How do I mulcher/ chip a tree?
A. Begin by inspecting the wood for nails, rope or any potentially damaging objects, secondly start the mulching machine and fully engage the blades, thirdly direct the expulsion shaft to the desired location and begin slowly feeding tree branches (appropriate to the machine) into the mulcher blades. Be sure to allow the process to feed naturally.
