Reasons To Have A Tree Cut Down
Dead or Dying Trees. Dead trees can quickly become dangerous, especially during Dunedin’s windy winters. Removing them before they fall protects your home and family. And neighbours!
Diseased or Pest-Infested Trees. Insects such as borer beetles are found in New Zealand and can affect your trees. Root rot can also weaken roots, making them a hazard. If you’re unsure, we can help assess the health of your trees.
Storm Damage. Dunedin is no stranger to storms and strong southerlies. Trees that have been cracked, uprooted, or weakened should be cut down. Otherwise, they are at risk of further damage.
Too Close to Buildings or Driveways. Tree roots can lift pavers, damage concrete, and cause structural issues. Especially in older suburbs like North East Valley, Roslyn, and Mornington. If a tree is too close to your house, it could be a problem.
Growing into Power Lines. It goes without saying. Trees near to overhead power lines are a serious safety risk. We can remove or prune them in accordance with council regulations.
Blocking Sunlight or Views. In a city where winter sun is precious, big trees can block the light. Removing or thinning out trees can brighten your home and garden.
Invasive or Problematic Species. Some trees, like sycamore, wilding pine, and crack willow, do not belong in Otago and can cause problems. We can help you take away these trees safely and quickly.
Hazards to Children or Pets. Trees that are leaning, broken, or have branches hanging where kids play, is a big no no! It’s important to get them checked by a tree expert before someone gets hurt.
Renovating or Redesigning. If you’re planning a new driveway or full garden makeover, you may need to create some space!

Questions For Our Crew
How much does tree removal cost in New Zealand?
Tree removal costs vary depending on the size, location, and condition of the tree. A small to medium sized job could range from $200 – $2000. Larger projects and commercial tree removal will likely cost more.
Do you offer stump removal as well?
Absolutely. Let us know if you’d like full tree and stump removal.
Can you remove trees in hard-to-reach places?
Yes, we specialise in tricky removals – including trees on hillsides, near fences, or close to buildings. Our team uses the right gear and techniques to get the job done safely.
What happens to the wood and debris after removal?
We take care of the cleanup and remove all wood, branches, and chips unless you’d like to keep them for firewood or mulch.
Do I need council permission to cut down a tree?
Some trees are protected under the Dunedin City Council and other Otago district plans. This includes heritage-listed trees, certain native species, and trees in conservation or coastal zones. If you’re not sure, we can help you check before doing anything.
How long does the tree removal process take?
Most jobs are completed in one day. Large or complex removals may take longer — we’ll give you a clear time estimate beforehand.
