What Our Customers Say

Really attentive to the finer details I wanted executed. Super friendly, responsive and reliable. Lovely guys. The result was gorgeous shaping and tree health work. Great clean up after (most leave a lot of detritus behind). Fair pricing. I’ve used a few arborists in Christchurch and these are by far the best. No hesitation in recommending.

– Ruth

We had Ben and his team come out to our kindergarten to cut down a large tree. They gave us a competitive quote and completed the work seamlessly. The team were extremely professional, very friendly, efficient, respectful of our space, reliable and communicative. Excellent straightforward service from start to finish. We’d happily use them again and we highly recommend them.

– Alissa

They did a great job, I was surprised how quickly they removed our large tree and left no mess, would definitely use again. Feel the price was reasonable as well.

– Sandra

Had 3x trees removed, and a hedge trimmed much shorter.
Was very happy with the quoted price.
All the work was excellent quality, team were great, and they left everything very clean.
They didn’t ask for a review. Would highly recommend.

– Ryan

Ben and the team did a fantastic job at our site in Rolleston. On time, efficient tidy work. Will definitely use again. Thanks Nick

– Nick

he guys were very knowledgeable and did a brilliant job. The garden was left tidy and the trees are now more open and let a lot of light into my house.

– Jean

Highly recommend Ben and the team. Absolutely blown away by the speed at which they completed the job and at the price quoted. Tidy up was second to none too, with the only signs of them being on site was the fact the tree was gone.

– Steven

We highly recommend Ben and his team! From our initial phone contact, through the quoting process, to the ultimate delivery of his services we couldn’t be happier. Ben gave really good professional advice concerning the health of our large trees ultimately removing 2 sick ones and pruning and restructuring a further 7.Thank you Ben and team!

– Sandra

This is a very experienced team with a wide range of well maintained equipment. All care take with safety, they do a fantastic job and are a pleasure to deal with.

– Mary

I highly recommend using this company. After a Google search and review read I am so happy I got these guys to come and help us out trimming and pruning our many fruit tress. It is amazing how much can be done in a short time when you hire the right people with the right equipment. Both Ben and his team were great to have on the job. Communication was great and the work done was well worth the money spent. Wish I had done this a year ago.

– Heather

Fantastic experience, would have Ben and his expert team back in a heartbeat. The job was maintenance of a couple of very special mature trees in our urban garden, and removal of some others. The team was very careful to understand the desired outcome and check afterwards that I was happy. All with incredible efficiency and at a good price.
