Arboriculture Services
A typical NORRIVA operation combines specialized equipment and efficient processes to deliver high-quality vegetation management, land clearing, and arboriculture services. We proudly serve clients across the Northern Rivers, providing reliable solutions for residential, commercial, and rural properties.
We use two trucks, including a 4x4 designed for accessing difficult terrain. This truck has a 15-cubic-meter capacity, allowing us to efficiently transport large volumes of debris from projects such as tree removal, branch removal, and site cleanups. Our experienced team, including certified tree surgeons, ensures that every job is completed safely and to the highest standards.
For stump removal and stump grinding, we utilize a low-impact stump grinder that minimizes damage to gardens and surrounding areas, ensuring minimal disruption during the clearing process. Additionally, our versatile Posi-Track vehicle is equipped with multiple attachments, including a stump grinder for thorough, efficient cleanup on challenging terrain.
When tackling larger land clearing operations or jobs involving mature or hazardous trees, we rely on a 14-tonne excavator fitted with a log grab and saw. This robust machine enables the fast and safe removal of large trees and debris, making it ideal for high-volume or high-risk projects throughout the Northern Rivers.
For smaller jobs or sites with limited access, we use a 3.5-tonne excavator with a log grab and a stand-on loader. These compact machines provide precision and maneuverability, making them ideal for detailed tasks like branch removal, selective clearing, or removing small trees from tight spaces — all while increasing efficiency compared to manual labour.
Together, this combination of advanced machinery, skilled professionals, and proven techniques allows NORRIVA to manage a wide range of projects effectively. From detailed stump grinding and tree removal to large-scale land clearing, we deliver safe, environmentally conscious outcomes tailored to your needs in the Northern Rivers region.
Tree and Branch Removal
Tree health is a top priority for us, and we take tree removal seriously. While trees in the wild typically thrive without human intervention, trees in your yard can pose risks to property and people if not properly maintained. Tree removal, along with palm removal and palm cleaning, can be hazardous, so it should only be carried out by a certified arborist. Arborists are experts in tree care, with the knowledge to assess and manage potential risks safely. Consulting a certified arborist is always the best course of action when deciding whether to remove a tree or palm.
Our arborists evaluate tree and palm health and stability, using factors like life expectancy to guide their decision on removal. In many cases, removing a tree or palm may be the safest and most practical option.
Stump Grinding
Once a tree is removed, felled, or has fallen, the remaining stump and roots can be effectively removed through stump grinding. This process uses specialized machinery with high-speed teeth to grind the stump and roots down to ground level, turning them into grindings. These chips can then be used as mulch or compost and fill the hole left by the stump. Stump grinding ensures a clean, level surface eliminating trip hazards, preventing regrowth and making the area safer and more aesthetically pleasing.
Storm Clean Up
NORRIVA has extensive experience in storm clean up and repairs following severe weather events, efficiently combining resources and staff to restore affected areas across the Northern Rivers. Our team is equipped to handle a wide range of storm related damage, from fallen trees and branches. We work quickly to ensure that communities can recover as smoothly and safely as possible. By leveraging advanced equipment and a highly skilled workforce, NORRIVA is able to respond to emergencies with speed and precision. Our commitment to quality service, reliability, and safety allows us to provide effective solutions to both residential and commercial properties affected by severe weather events.
Clean Up and Mulching
Once the exciting tree cutting is done, the work isn't over. The limbs, logs, and leaves all need to be cleaned up and processed, leaving your property neat and tidy. We use professional-grade chippers to mulch the wood and leaves, creating a nutrient-rich product for your garden. This mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and enrich your landscape. Whether you're enhancing garden beds or creating natural pathways, our eco-friendly mulch is a sustainable option. We offer high quality mulch for sale at competitive prices, with delivery available to your location.
