Tree removal in Buderim
Tree removal, lopping and stump grinding on Buderim's plateau and the slopes that fall away from it.
Tree work in Buderim
Heritage pines and red soil
Buderim Mountain State School keeps a memorial arboretum of mostly hoop pines, hundreds of them planted close together, and the Queensland Heritage Register lists every tree in it. Beside them runs a line of heritage-listed camphor laurels along the Main Street boundary, which is unusual protection for a species the council treats as an invasive weed.
Much of the plateau has red soil, impregnated with iron oxide, and it stains whatever it touches, so where the grindings from a stump end up, back in the hole or carted away, is worth settling in the quote.
Below the plateau, Buderim Forest Park has dense and cool rainforest in its lower section along Martins Creek. Trees on the blocks backing onto that kind of country tend to be tall, close together and on a slope, which makes them rope work rather than machine work.

Buderim questions
Fire, the tip and the old scrub
Has the bush around the Foote Sanctuary ever burnt?
Yes. A fire in 1966 swept through a third of the sanctuary, and the breaks cut after it are now its walking tracks. On blocks along that edge, branches over the roof and the gutters are worth keeping clear before the dry months.
Can green waste go to the Buderim tip?
Yes. The council's note for the Buderim Resource Recovery Centre reads tipping only for metal, green waste and concrete recycling, so branches and leaves from a Buderim job have somewhere close to go.
Is any of the old scrub still standing?
A little. Buderim House, on the Queensland Heritage Register, keeps a small section of vine scrub, known as Fielding's scrub, left as a break against the westerly winds and one of the last patches of the scrub that once covered the mountain.
