There’s a lot of investment property owners ion Daylesford due to the high number of AirBnBs and guest houses for all the tourists. Our customer was planning a significant extension to their property to allow for the addition of an guest room. The customer got in contact with Ascent Trees to get advice on a problematic tree in the garden adjacent to the area they wanted to extend. The tree was not a native species, but due to the historic nature of the town, we advised that the customer check with the council if a permit was required due to a potential heritage listing. This was not the case and (after viewing written confirmation from the council), Chris booked the job in for a tree removal and stump grinding.
As with all of our jobs, if stump grinding is booked in as well as the tree removal, we request all customers to complete Dial Before you Dig, to confirm the location of any underground utilities. Once we had the all clear, we scheduled a date for the tree removal work, with the stump grinding to be completed in the week after.
Due to the small height of the tree, we were able to simply fell the tree from the base of the trunk, directing the fall into a safe area of the yard. The groundsmen then used chainsaws to cut the branches to be fed through the chipper for mulch, and then the trunk into firewood rounds for the customer to keep.
The customer wanted to commit to re-planting trees to replace the one he’d removed, and we gave advice on the best native species for the location. If you need a tree removal in Daylesford give us a
