Taking Care Of Your Trees
Tree and Stump Removal Services Hastings, Napier and Central Hawke's Bay
Explore some of the tree care projects we’ve been working on. Contact our arborists to find out how we can help you take care of your trees.
Maintaining mature trees, safely
Older properties often feature large trees that are a home for wildlife and a wonderful source of shade in the hot Hawke’s Bay Summer. We remove deadwood, shape and prune mature trees to maintain its good looks while protecting the owners from storm damage and the risk to neighbouring properties.
Tree pruning to protect power lines
This tree was growing close to power lines. Working with the power company, we safely removed the branches and pruned the tree to encourage future growth clear of the lines. Planting away from powerlines can reduce your maintenance costs. If you are planting on your boundaries, why not ask our qualified arborists for advice on how to manage your tree care costs with the right tree choices?
Shaping hedges to stimulate growth
Regularly maintained hedges are thicker and stronger, as well as becoming a real feature in your garden. Here’s a hedge that has had its autumn prune and is ready to soak up the moisture in the Winter months before bursting with growth in Spring. Hedges are a versatile and attractive way to add privacy to any area of your property. Ask our team for planting and maintenance advice.

FAQ
We’ve shared our responses to some popular questions below. If you don’t find the information you need, contact our team and we will be more than happy to get you the answer you’re looking for.
We usually recommend pruning trees in Autumn and Winter but depending on the scale of work you want to have done, it should be possible to prune at other times of the year. The impact of pruning will depend on the age and size of the tree and the tree variety. Why not contact our experienced tree surgeons and tell us more? We can help you plan and book your pruning work for the best results.
Hedges grow fast in Hawke’s Bay but how frequently you trim them will depend on the height you want them to grow to and what variety you’ve planted. Contact our arborists and we can help you understand how quickly a healthy hedge grows over a year and how frequently you may need to trim it. If you’re flexible, we might recommend planting a slower growing variety if you’re keen to keep hedge trimming costs to a minimum.
If you have trees that are growing close to power lines it’s important to call an expert for any pruning work. Our team can help you contact the power company and make sure that power is switched off before any pruning work begins. Contact us today and we can talk you through your options.
