If a dodgy or unstable tree is keeping you on edge, our insured specialists can check it fast and sort it before it causes real damage.

Understanding tree felling and removal

Choosing whether to fell or remove depends on how much space there is around the tree. Felling means cutting it at the base so it comes down in one go – a good fit when there’s enough room for a clean drop.

Removal, on the other hand, is more methodical, using ropes, rigging gear or cranes to lower each piece with care. That method suits urban and coastal spots like Tauranga, Mt Maunganui and Papamoa, where gardens, paths and structures sit close together.

With over 14 years in the trade and both New Zealand and international qualifications, Arbor Artisan applies each method precisely. Every job follows recognised safety standards to limit damage and keep full control – whether it’s a small courtyard tree or a towering one stretching over rooftops.

Keeping your property safe and disruption free

Tree work should leave your space looking better than before. Protective mats, smart rigging and careful equipment placement prevent harm to lawns, fences or patios. Every cut’s made with intent so nothing lands where it shouldn’t.

You’ll be kept in the loop the whole way through. When the work’s done, everything’s swept and sorted so the area’s left tidy. You can keep the wood for firewood – already chopped into easy sizes – or have it taken away.

Often that timber is donated to local charities or families needing it, which helps reduce costs for you too. You can also have smaller branches turned into garden mulch to reuse around your property and keep the cycle going.

Responsible and sustainable felling and disposal

Tree work burns fuel and uses gear, but that doesn’t have to mean waste. Arbor Artisan keeps everything serviced to run efficiently and cut down emissions.

Usable timber is often donated or reused, while smaller branches are chipped to make rich garden mulch that feeds soil and suppresses weeds. This practical, eco-friendly habit keeps things sustainable while holding down removal costs.

And if your trees need ongoing shaping or trimming, hedge maintenance can keep your outdoor space sharp all year.

Safe felling in tight spaces

In many urban spots there’s no easy way to drop a tree whole. That’s where sectional dismantling really shines. Each part is rigged and lowered carefully using ropes or a crane, keeping nearby buildings, gardens and paths unharmed.

If you’d like the stump gone too, Arbor Artisan can take care of that. A trusted local contractor handles the grinding, arranged as part of your quote so you don’t have to juggle multiple visits or companies. For detailed shaping, explore our

Palm tree felling and pruning

Palms have a look all their own, but their size means they need a steady hand. Arbor Artisan manages both palm tree pruning and removal, whether it’s a compact courtyard palm or a tall species standing close to your home.
Each one is checked for decay, pests or weak fronds that could drop without warning. Using cranes or climbing gear, palms are lowered bit by bit so everything nearby stays safe. The job’s neat and efficient – leaving your space tidy and your palms either freshly shaped or safely gone.
