What we do

All tree work, and the mess taken away with it

Everything below is done by Richard and the crew with their own gear, their own tipper and their own chipper. There is no subbing it out and no waiting three weeks on a machine to come free.

01

Tree removals

Whole trees taken down safely, including the awkward ones with a house, a shed or a fence line underneath. Rigged down in sections where there is no room to drop it, and the site left clear.

02

Work near power lines

Limbs and whole trees removed from around live power lines. It is the job most blokes with a chainsaw will not touch, and it is the one customers keep writing reviews about.

03

Pruning and lopping

Crown lifting, thinning, deadwooding, and cutting a big tree back off a roof or a driveway. Trimmed to what you actually want, not just hacked into a ball.

04

Stump grinding

Stumps ground out below the surface with a Bandit Model 2100 so you can turf over the top, replant, or get a mower across it without catching a blade.

05

Experienced climbers

Roped, harnessed climbers who go up rather than waiting on a lift to fit down the side of the house. Chainsaw on the harness, rigging line to the ground crew.

06

Mulch sales

Mulch from the chipper, sold by the load. Straight off the truck onto the garden beds, which beats paying bagged prices at the hardware.

About Richard

Over twenty five years, and he still quotes it himself

Richard Taylor Tree Services is Richard's own business, and the name on the truck is his. He has over twenty five years of experience climbing and taking trees down, and these days runs the job across the Huon Valley with a small crew.

When you ring, Richard is the one who comes and looks at the tree. He will tell you what he reckons needs doing, what it will cost, and whether it actually needs doing at all. Customers keep mentioning the same three things in their reviews: he quotes quickly, he turns up when he said he would, and the site is clean when he leaves.

The crew are experienced climbers, so a tree up the back with no access for a lift is not a problem. Everything is fully insured.

Stump grinding

The stump goes too, not just the tree

A stump left in the ground is a trip hazard, a mower killer and a place for rot to set in. The Bandit Model 2100 grinds it out below the surface so you can turf over it, plant into it, or just get the mower across without wrecking a blade.

What people say

Straight from their Google reviews

Every word below was written by a real customer on Google. Nothing has been edited.

Richard came and quoted, and provided great guidance on lopping a couple of large Birch trees on our property. The price was very reasonable, and I found Richard to be very friendly and approachable. He kept us informed during the process and made sure the trees were cut and trimmed safely and to what we wanted. A pleasure to deal with.
