Tree removal
Roped, sectional removals on the tight sections common through Takapuna, Milford and Devonport, where there is rarely a clear drop zone. Tree removal.
North Shore Arborist
Coastal wind, tight sections and mature pōhutukawa — tree work suited to the Shore.
Coastal Trees and Wind Damage
Wind damage is the single most common reason we get called out on the Shore, and it is rarely the whole tree that fails. What goes is a co-dominant stem with an included bark union, or a heavy lateral limb that has been quietly cracking for a couple of seasons. By the time it lets go, it usually takes fence panels or a shed roof with it.
The fix is nearly always cheaper before the event than after. Thinning a dense canopy lets wind pass through rather than pushing against a solid sail, and reducing an over-extended limb removes the leverage that pulls a union apart. Pōhutukawa in particular respond well to sympathetic reduction, and many of the ones we see would have been fine with a light touch a decade ago. Where a tree has already failed, our emergency tree care crews can make it safe quickly.
North Shore Tree Services
Everything below is available right across the Shore, from Devonport up through Albany and Greenhithe. Where a job needs more than one of them, we scope the lot in a single visit.
Crown thinning and reduction
Taking wind load out of exposed trees so a nor-easter has less to push against, without leaving the tree looking butchered. Tree trimming.
Stump grinding
Below-grade grinding that clears the way for turf, paving or replanting, including access through narrow side paths on older sections. Stump grinding.
Hedge and screening work
Coastal hedging kept even and at a height you can maintain — important where a hedge is doing the work of a fence between close neighbours. Hedge trimming.
Book a North Shore Assessment
If a tree has moved, cracked or started dropping limbs after a blow, get it looked at sooner rather than later. Assessments are free and there is no obligation.
