What services do you offer as an arborist?

How often should I prune my trees?
The frequency of tree pruning depends on the type and age of the tree. Generally, it's recommended to prune deciduous trees every 3-5 years and evergreen trees every 2-3 years. However, specific recommendations can be provided after a tree assessment.
What are the signs that my tree is unhealthy or diseased?
Common signs of an unhealthy tree include dead or yellowing leaves, cracks in the bark, fungal growth, leaning or unstable posture, and reduced foliage density. If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to consult an arborist for a professional assessment.
How do you handle emergency tree removal services?

What is the best time to plant new trees in my yard?
Fall and early spring are typically the best times for tree planting, as the weather is milder, and trees have a better chance to establish their root systems before summer heat or winter cold sets in.
Are your tree care practices environmentally friendly?

How do you determine the cost of tree services?
The cost of tree services varies based on factors such as the type and size of the tree, the services required, and the level of difficulty. We offer free on-site assessments to provide accurate cost estimates.
Can you provide references or examples of your previous work?
Absolutely! We can provide references from satisfied customers and showcase photos of our completed tree care projects on our website.
What safety measures do you have in place during tree removal?
Safety is our top priority. We follow NZ arborist industry safety standards (NZ Arboricultural Association guidelines), use specialized rigging equipment for controlled removals, and ensure our team is fully trained to manage high-risk felling operations in urban and rural environments.
Do you service regions outside of Rotorua?
Yes, while we are based in Rotorua, we provide arborist services across the wider Bay of Plenty region, including Ngongotaha, Hamurana, Mamaku, and Rotoiti. Contact us to see if we can assist at your location.
Are there council regulations for tree removal in Rotorua?
