Why choose us
Why choose Trees Company
Tree work is skilled and physical. Done badly, it is dangerous for the climber and detrimental to the tree's health. Trees Company is a small, local, owner-operated business, and all our arborists are qualified and passionate about their work.
Our owner, Andy, has worked with trees for over 20 years in New Zealand, Australia and the UK, from formative pruning of young trees to the careful dismantling of large ones in tight spaces. Every job starts with a free consultation, and the advice is honest: sometimes the right answer is to leave a tree alone.

Our Services
Tree Pruning
We can formatively prune your young trees to establish a desirable shape and give them the best chance in life.
For the oldies you have a range of options...
- Lift those lower branches or thin out the crown to allow more light through.
- Weight reduce extended limbs to minimise risk of failure.
- Perform whole crown reductions to keep the tree at a suitable size for your garden.
- Remove dead and dying branches so that they don't pose any risk.
- Pollard trees that have out grown their space so they can be maintained at a practical size.
Whatever your requirements, be it for reasons of form, light, safety or aesthetics we want to provide a tree pruning solution for you.
Tree Removal
As a last resort when they have out stayed their welcome... Whether it is a straight forward fell or a controlled dismantle in a delicate space, we have the skills and equipment to get the job done safely and efficiently.
We also donate to tree planting charities to help offset what we remove.
Hedge Trimming
We are expert hedge trimmers and can access those more difficult ones that you or your gardener don't want to tackle!
Do you prefer a natural flowing hedge or a formal English garden look? We can help keep your garden looking its best.
Log Milling
Too good for firewood? We can slab your valuable timber and help stack it for drying on your property.
Tree Bracing and support systems
Where limbs and even whole leaders pose a saftey concern but the trees form needs to be preserved, bracing in combination with a weight reduction is a good option. This can involve fixing cables or ropes between different parts of the tree so that wind loading is shared more evenly throughout the canopy. It can be a good option for those european trees which grow too fast for their own good in this climate!
Tree Planting
We can advise you on species and location. Source trees and protection systems and if you would like we can plant, or help you plant them too. Its great to complete the cycle, keep Wanaka green and future Arborists in work!
Wood Chipping
Recycle your garden waste, don't burn it!
Whether its work that we have done or trees you have cut your self we can turn them into wood chip mulch.
Mulch is a invaluable resource for your garden, you are welcome to keep all you want of it, but if preferable we will take it away to be reused in the community.
Tree installations/removals
We can help install lights (as in pic), bird boxes, zip lines, rope swings or rescuing cats and drones. Any excuse to climb a tree!

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge for a quote?
No. The consultation is free. We will talk through what you want and what the tree needs, and give you a price before any work is booked.
Which areas do you cover?
Trees Company is based in Wanaka and works throughout the Upper Clutha and Central Otago, including Hawea, Makarora, Cromwell and Alexandra. If you are further afield, ask - a larger job is often worth the travel.
Do I need permission to prune or remove a tree?
Most garden trees can be worked on without any consent. Some trees are protected under a district plan, and work near power lines or on a boundary has its own rules. Tell us where the tree is and we will say if anything needs checking with the council before we start.
What happens to the wood and the branches?
Branches go through the chipper and the mulch is yours to keep if you want it, or we take it away to be reused in the community. Larger logs can be cut for firewood or, if the timber is good, milled into slabs on site.
Are you insured?
Yes. Trees Company is fully covered with public liability and professional indemnity insurance, and we are happy to show you the paperwork before a job starts.
