Removing 40 Trees
Superior Tree Service Tackles Major Tree Removal Project in Palmwoods Today, in the peaceful hinterland town of Palmwoods, Queensland, Superior Tree Service successfully completed one of our larger operations to date — the safe and efficient removal of over 40 mature trees, including native species such as Tallowwood, Bloodwood, Brush Box, and Blackbutt gums. This significant job required a high level of planning, coordination, and arboricultural expertise, which our dedicated team delivered from start to finish.The Scope of the Job
This was not a typical backyard tree removal. With more than 40 large trees spread across the site, the project demanded a professional approach that balanced safety, environmental care, and logistical precision. The trees were removed to accommodate future property development and improve safety across the block, with some of the larger specimens posing risks due to their proximity to existing structures and access routes. The tree species involved are iconic to South-East Queensland, known for their dense hardwood, towering height, and broad canopies. Many were decades old and required controlled felling techniques to avoid damage to surrounding vegetation and ensure safe operations on the ground.Precision Felling With Controlled Techniques
Each tree was approached with a tailored plan. Our qualified arborist led the operation, employing controlled felling methods to bring the trees down safely. Using throw lines, we were able to position rigging ropes high into the canopy, giving us full control over the direction and speed at which each tree fell. These rigging systems were vital to the success of the operation. Once ropes were in place, our crew worked with our Avant loader to gently apply pulling force, guiding each tree safely to the ground while avoiding nearby assets and preserving the integrity of the surrounding land. This methodical process ensured minimal impact on the environment and greatly reduced the risk associated with felling so many trees in one session.Top-Tier Equipment: STIHL 500i and Avant Loader
Having the right equipment makes all the difference on a job of this scale. Our team relied heavily on the STIHL MS 500i chainsaw, renowned for its lightweight build and electronically controlled fuel injection system. The 500i provided the cutting power and reliability needed to efficiently process the large hardwood trunks, even under demanding conditions. Once felled, the trees were delimbed and processed into manageable lengths. All smaller branches and foliage were chipped on site, using our high-capacity chipper to convert the tree tops into mulch. This approach keeps the site clean, reduces green waste volume, and provides clients with the option of reusing the mulch in future landscaping projects. Larger logs were then stacked using our Avant loader, a compact but powerful machine ideal for working in tight or uneven terrain. The loader allowed us to efficiently collect and organise the timber into neat piles, ready for removal or future repurposing. Whether the timber is destined for milling, firewood, or landscape use, it’s now easily accessible and safely stored.Safety, Efficiency, and Professionalism
As always, safety was the top priority. Every member of our crew is trained in high-risk tree work, rigging, and machinery operation. Before felling began, a detailed safety assessment was carried out, identifying potential hazards, environmental sensitivities, and escape routes. With clear communication and constant coordination between the crew, the entire job was completed without incident. The size of the job required not just skill, but endurance. The team worked efficiently throughout the day, ensuring steady progress while maintaining high safety standards. Despite the complexity and sheer volume of work, the job was completed ahead of schedule, a testament to the crew’s professionalism and teamwork.Why Clients Trust Superior Tree Service
