Professional Tree Removal Services in Wellington
Looking for reliable tree removal in Wellington? We provide safe, efficient and fully insured tree removal services across Wellington and the surrounding suburbs.
You may need to remove a tree for any number of reasons. Maybe it’s due to disease, structural instability or wanting more light and sun. Or you’re dealing with a dangerous tree, storm damage, or a tree that’s outgrown its space. Our qualified arborists can assess the situation and recommend the best solution. We specialise in tree removal on steep, tight-access Wellington sites, where experience and care matter most.
Where trees are too close to power lines or can’t be managed through pruning, removal may be the safer long-term option.

Faqs
How long do tree removals take?
Most tree removals are completed within a day, depending on the size and complexity of the job. If there are more than one tree to be removed or perhaps some other arborist work to be done we might schedule the work to be done over two days.
Can you remove a tree close to a house?
Yes, we specialise in technical removals in tight spaces using controlled dismantling techniques. We are used to having to consider the removal of trees within areas of property structures and homes. We will always do a full safety check before any work is undertaken and apply techniques that ensure the safety of your property. We are also fully insured.
Do you offer emergency tree removal?
Yes, we provide emergency services for storm-damaged or dangerous trees. And will often shift our scheduled work to make sure that any safety risks are dealt with quickly.
What happens to the waste?
We can remove all waste, mulch it on-site, or leave firewood if you prefer. We are happy to work with you and what’s the best solution.
When is the best time to remove a tree?
Tree removal can be done year-round, but timing may depend on species, condition, and your garden plans.
Testimonials
“After the February storm brought down massive leaders from our Pohutukawa tree, Max dropped everything to come out and help us get on top of a genuinely stressful situation. His response was prompt and professional, and he immediately put us at ease with a thorough assessment of the tree’s condition.
What stood out most was how pragmatic Max was throughout the whole process. Rather than just cutting back everything in sight, he took the time to explain the pruning decisions, balancing the tree’s health with making it safer for our property. He kept me in the loop at every step and I never had to chase him for an update, which made the whole experience so much less stressful than it could have been. He was also genuinely understanding of our priorities and constraints, never once making us feel like we were adding complexity to his day.” (Rohan, Karori, Wellington)
“I would recommend Max for any arborist work you require. Max has just thinned out our large Pohutukawa, removing dead and damaged branches and did a fantastic job. Our backyard was left tidy, a collection of firewood stacked under the deck from the trimming and now the Kaka, Tui and Kereru can fly easily through the tree.” Grant (Khandallah), Wellington
“Max and his team has worked for us several times, pruning and trimming various trees. His work has been excellent – he is a skilled arborist and has a very good eye. He is reliable, turning up when he says he will and communicating well. He is also very pleasant to have around. I recommend him highly. Jane (Ngaio, Wellington)
“We have used them twice and both times had such a good experience. Really friendly and lovey people. They did a tree removal for us which was excellent. I would absolutely use them again if we needed an arborist. Thank you!” (Rona, Southgate, Wellington)
“Max has done arborist work for me. I was impressed at the careful way he shaped the trees to look natural and balanced. He tidied up efficiently at the end of the project. Max is professional and personable.” Elaine (Northland, Wellington)
