Arborists FAQs

What does an Arborist do?

An arborist (sometimes called a tree surgeon) is a trained professional who knows how to care for trees safely and properly. Whether it’s pruning branches, removing a dead tree, or figuring out what’s causing your tree to look sick. 

We’re not just here to chop things down. A big part of our job is helping trees thrive in the right place, at the right time. From small backyard jobs to tricky removals near power lines or buildings, we’ve got the tools, training, and experience to handle it safely.

Here’s a quick look at what we do:

  • Tree pruning & trimming to keep your trees healthy and looking good
  • Tree removals when a tree becomes unsafe, diseased, or just in the wrong spot
  • Stump grinding to get rid of unsightly stumps and make space for new planting
  • Emergency callouts for storm damage or fallen limbs
  • Health checks if your tree isn’t looking its best — we can diagnose pests, disease, or root issues
  • Hedge and shrub care to keep everything neat and tidy
  • Hedge trimming & shrub care – neat, tidy, and garden-friendly

Yes, according to community law, you’re allowed to trim back branches or roots from a neighbour’s tree if they’re coming onto your property. That said, it’s always worth having a quick chat with your neighbour first. Most people appreciate the heads-up, and it keeps things friendly.

Most trees benefit from pruning every 1–3 years depending on the species, growth rate, and location. Regular pruning helps maintain tree health, improve structure, and reduce the risk of falling branches.
