Focusing on Sustainable Practices

Woodchips are an important part of any arborist's toolkit. They help keep trees healthy and hydrated, as well as prevent weeds from taking hold. Here at Dingo’s Tree Service, we’re fully equipped with the latest stump grinders and woodchippers to turn green waste into nutrient-rich mulch for your gardens.

After every tree removal or trim, we’ll clean up the mess. All you need to do is sit back and relax—our team will take care of the rest! Where possible, we can even create artificial habitat hollows from salvageable trees. These hollows can boost biodiversity at your residence without detracting the beauty of your natural landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know that a tree needs to be removed?
There are numerous signs that may indicate you need a tree removed. These include:
- It’s leaning dangerously
- It’s randomly dropping branches
- It has large, deep cracks in the trunk
- It’s too close to a structure or fence line
- It’s stunting other plant’s growth
- It has been damaged by severe weather
- It’s interfering with powerlines
- It’s dead, dying or diseased
When is the best time to have stump grinding done?

It’s best to have a stump grinding service as soon as the tree is cut down. This is because the longer you wait, the more the stump will settle into the ground and become harder to remove.
Should I put mulch around the base of my trees?

Yes. For optimal results, apply a 2-3-inch layer of mulch around the base of young trees. The first 12 inches of mulch immediately surrounding the trunk should be thinner so that it just covers the soil. This will prevent the formation of a ‘mulch volcano’ around the trunk, which can lead to rot and insect infestation. In addition, excessive mulching can encourage root growth on the soil's surface, making the tree more susceptible to wind damage.
How often do I need to reapply woodchip mulch?

Woodchip mulch breaks down over time, so you’ll need to reapply it every year. The best time to top up your woodchip mulch is in late spring or early summer.
