Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Nov 01, 2009 4:32 pm Well there is at last progress being made and I hape the builders will be on site in about 1 month (just in time to pack up for Christmas ). I have 4 small trees (gum) that need to be removed as they are going to have a house built on them (as we now have planning permission ). They are about 2 meters high and the main stems are the thickness of a wrist (at most). Is there a was I can remove them or does it need a specialist? The house will have a fair degree of cut and fill and 1 of the trees will be at a point of 1 meter cut, 2 at 1/2 meter fill and the 4th is on the bench level. Any experiences of removing these juvenile trees would be very helpful. Re: Best way to remove small trees 2Nov 01, 2009 9:43 pm A bobcat should be able to basically just push these trees over (roots and all) and push them somewhere on the block out of the way then you could chop them up and take them to the tip at your leisure. Re: Best way to remove small trees 3Nov 01, 2009 9:57 pm I removed some small gums not long ago that were about 3 metres tall, similar thickness. I thought it was important to kill the gum roots before removal as they can be extensive. I cut the tops off with a saw, leaving about 30cm of the stump out of the ground. Drilled some half inch holes in the trunks all the way around (angled towards the ground at different heights). Made up some tree killer which I bought from Bunnings (mixed the poison with Kerosene as described on the tub). Applied liberally with a spary bottle. Reapplied after another fortnight Dug them out once they were dead. 4 9048 How do you remove one of these ceiling air con vents?
