Regular pruning keeps trees healthy, safe and looking their best. We cover general pruning, shaping, thinning and crown lifting, whether it’s to let more light through, clear a roofline or path, or tidy a tree that’s got out of hand.
Good pruning is about taking off the right branches, not just the most of them. We make clean cuts in the right places, so the tree heals well and keeps its natural shape. We prune trees across Christchurch’s eastern suburbs, including Shirley, Richmond, Wainoni, North New Brighton and Dallington, and right across the city.
General pruning removes dead, damaged and crossing branches to keep the tree healthy and safe.
Shaping keeps a tree to a size and form that suits your section.
Thinning removes selected branches to let light and air through the crown.
Crown lifting removes lower branches to clear paths, driveways, fences and views.
Most jobs use a mix of these. We’ll look at the tree on a free site visit and tell you straight what it needs.
It depends on the tree. Some are best pruned in winter, others are more flexible, and we’ll advise when we look at yours.
Pruning removes selected branches and leaves the tree about the same size. A crown reduction brings down its overall height and spread.
Done properly it helps. Poor cuts, or taking off too much, can stress a tree, which is why we cut cleanly and tell you what’s sensible rather than just taking off as much as possible.
Yes. Tell us where the boundary is and we’ll work carefully around fences and neighbouring gardens. If the tree is on a neighbour’s property, check with them first.
It depends on the size of the tree, access and how much needs doing. We quote after a free site visit, so the price is based on what we’ve actually seen.
Tell us about the job. We'll arrange a free site visit and confirm your quote in person.
Based in Burwood, we work right across Christchurch, especially the North and Eastern suburbs.
