WHY hire a chipping service to MULCH YOUR GREEN WASTE?
If you’re tree pruning, removing branches or looking to hire for tree services, chipping your green waste is the most sustainable way to manage it. Instead of sending branches to landfill, our Sunshine Coast Arborists turn them into clean, reusable mulch that supports healthier soil and reduces the need for irrigation.
By keeping the material on your property, you help return valuable nutrients back into the landscape, a core part of our eco-friendly approach at Greenish Tree Care.
Mulching is not only practical; it’s one of the best ways to reduce your environmental footprint while improving the look and health of your outdoor spaces.
By keeping organic material in your landscape, you’re supporting:
Healthier soil
Lower water usage
Fewer weeds
Reduced carbon emissions
A circular approach to tree care

Our Tree Chipping Process
Whether your own a residential or commercial property around Noosa, Doonan or the wider Sunshine Coast, our licensed arborists can efficiently take care of your tree pruning and chipping. Here’s what to expect from our professional team:
1. Site Assessment & Safety Setup
Before any chipping begins, our arborists assess access, ground slope, nearby structures, vehicles, gardens and overhead hazards.
We set up a safe working zone, position the chipper correctly and ensure your property, neighbours and our team are protected throughout the process.
This step ensures the job runs smoothly, efficiently and safely.
2. Preparing and Sorting Green Waste
Our licensed arborists gather branches, offcuts and debris into safe loading piles, removing any contaminants such as wire, rocks or foreign objects.
This preparation allows the chipper to operate cleanly and prevents blockages or damage to equipment.
It also ensures the resulting mulch is high-quality and ready for use.
3. Chipping & Processing the Material
Your green waste is fed into our commercial chipper, breaking it down into clean, consistent wood chips.
Our machines handle everything from small offcuts to large branches, allowing us to quickly reduce bulky debris into a manageable, eco-friendly material.
This process significantly reduces waste volume and prepares the mulch for garden use.
4. Clean-Up
Once chipping is complete, we tidy the area, clear loose debris and blow down paths or driveways where needed.
Keeping mulch on-site is the most sustainable way to manage green waste, reducing landfill, lowering carbon emissions and improving soil health.
We finish by blowing down paths and tidying the work area, leaving your property clean, safe and refreshed.
Chipping vs mulching
Chipping is the process of breaking down branches and green waste into small, manageable wood chips using a commercial chipper. Mulching is what happens next: those chips are returned to your garden beds, native plantings or landscape areas to improve soil health, reduce weeds and retain moisture.
At Greenish, these services go hand in hand: your green waste is (optionally) processed on-site and reused directly on your property, supporting a more sustainable and closed-loop approach to tree care.
FAQS
-
This is a very devicing question! Hardwood mulch will generally breakdown slower and some believe it to be more aesthetically pleasing and softwood mulch will generally breakdown faster providing more readily available nutrients to plants and trees faster. Palm mulch can be a little harder to spread around if it's come from a big day of pruning. If we've been removing Palms then there's a lot more of the trunk in the mulch which has a much higher water content than other mulch, generally meaning it's more beneficial to your plants than other mulch!
-
Very much dependent on how much is to be mulched and the accessibility of the green waste. I believe it to be far more cost effective to mulch up green waste than to get it taken to a tip, and you'll be able to retain the mulch! If we're already working on site, the cost is reduced again. Quite often cutting can be the easy bit and the removal of the green waste can be the more time consuming part. I always encourage everyone to get quotes to have the work done completely by a tree service prior to starting the work yourself, as there have been plenty of times where it would have been easier and more efficient for us to complete the entire job rather than untangling a giant stack of branches and then chipping it!
-
There's no requirement to be home, so long as we have access. If you enjoy the noise of blaring wood chippers and chainsaws then by all means stick around.
-
In some circumstances it can attract termites and provide shelter for a host of other tiny little bugs (which is a good thing, well the second part!). Termites will generally prefer other more substantial wood sources but can certainly use mulch as a bridge between where they want to be. Generally common sense prevails but if you're concerned, speak with your local termite specialist!
-
Generally up to 100mm. There have been some studies to suggest you can mulch far thicker however even at 50mm of mulch you'll start achieving good weed suppression and moisture retention.
-
Yes, Palm fronds chip just fine. However, if they're old, rotten/dirty you may not find someone wanting to put them through their chipper.
