TRUSTED TREE REMOVAL
Garden & Tree Men provide specialised tree removal services across Christchurch for homeowners, businesses, and property developers. Whether you have a tree too close to your house, a diseased tree, or an overgrown specimen that’s blocking light or damaging infrastructure, we can help.
We do all major tree removal work with fully insured, Level 4 NZQA-qualified arborists — meaning you get skilled professionals, modern safety practices, and full compliance. Because we’re based in Christchurch, we understand the local conditions and Canterbury winds which can make some trees a fall risk. We’re also able to advise on local council regulations when it comes toi removing a tree in an urban setting
Ideal for garden trees, street trees, or trees in tight backyard spaces. We remove small trees cleanly and leave minimal disturbance, preserving surrounding plants and surfaces.
When trees are tall, heavy, or have thick trunks, our arborists use rigging, elevated work platfoms, sectional dismantling, and safety lines to deconstruct safely and with minimal risk.
From tight garden spaces to tall trees near power lines, we use advanced rigging techniques and the right equipment to remove trees safely and efficiently in any situation.
For storms, fallen trees, or hazardous branches posing immediate risk, we offer rapid emergency removal services. We’re available to respond quickly, stabilise dangerous trees, and restore safety.

Once the work is agreed, our arborists carry out the removal safely. After cutting, dismantling, or felling, we remove all debris, chip wasted wood or recycle where possible, and leave your property clean and safe.
After inspection, we provide a written quote with full details: what must be done, what can optionally be done, the timeline, equipment needed, cost, as well as any permissions if required. No surprises midway through.
We visit your site to assess tree health, stability, nearby structures, accessibility, soil, wind exposure, and any regulatory or council constraints.

Garden and tree men pulled through spectacularly. They were very efficient very organized and precise. Would definitely recommend this service for any and all jobs gardening related. Hats off to the team and special thanks to Leo for organizing this. All aces in my book.Posted on NJ Excellent company: Quick, professional, friendly locals. Had a tree starting to grow over my roof and Rick & Leo dealt to it efficiently and made a tidy job. Highly recommend them.Posted on Glenda & Pramda Lallu Many thanks Leo & Team for tidying up our garden! We found the team to be skilled, friendly, well mannered young men, who communicated with us frequently on the progress they were making, & tidied up at the completion of the job. We would highly recommend them!Posted on Bill Dengel The garden was a total mess, both front and back. However, the Garden and Tree men have now restored it to something of its former glory. Couldn't be more pleased. Thoroughly professional.Posted on Stuart Vaughan A job well done, would recommend these people to do the job.Posted on Adrienne Barry It was a real pleasure to have Henry and his team around to take down a couple of large trees. A quick, tidy very professional job. Thoroughly recommended. Pat Barry.Posted on Scott Great communication and prompt visit by Henry for a quote. They were able to cater to all of our requests. Luke and Jostin were amazing on the day. Very friendly, efficient and fast.Posted on Nycki O'Neal After spending a few years of being overwhelmed with not having the gardening skills our property needed, we reached out to the ‘Garden and Tree Men’. I requested a quote and the next day Leo came by to view the garden and to get an idea of what we were needing. Leo provided the quote later that day, as he promised to do. It took me less than 5 minutes to accept it. I then asked to add new plants to the garden. Leo made it so easy because he provided me with 3 options and in picking one he then sent me a quote for them. Due to a cancellation, they said they would begin the work 2 days later. They arrived at 0830hrs as promised. Luke and Ollie got straight to work, and I honestly don’t know if they actually took any breaks as they were always head down working. They pruned trees, shaped hedges and bushes. They cleaned up the garden beds including under the hedges. The difference is phenomenal! Reece and Jostien then showed up and the 4 of them fell two very tall trees which were threatening our driveway fence. They collected all the garden waste and left after dark! The beauty and peace that their work has brought to our family is worth many times what they charge. They are a team of lads who enjoy each others company and have a briliant work ethic! I will be getting them to do other projects for us! Leo & Team…we very much appreciate what you have done for us!!Posted on Miguel Moyers-Gonzalez The best service we've ever had in 10 years. Garden and Tree Men is our 4th company trimming and pruning our trees and hedges. We cannot be more happy. They are very professional and excellent at their trade. Highly recommended.Posted on Dilnur IMAM great and friendly team

Tree removal is the process of cutting down a tree and taking it away. Whether it’s dead, unsafe, or simply in the wrong spot, we safely dismantle it and clear the area so you’re left with a clean, usable space.
It depends on the size and location. For small trees, we might take it down in one go. For larger trees, we usually remove them in sections using ropes, harnesses, and rigging equipment to control the fall and keep everything safe, especially near houses, fences, or power lines.
Yes, definitely. We’re fully equipped and trained to remove large trees, even in tight or tricky spots. Whether it’s leaning, hollow, or dangerously close to your property, we’ve got the experience to handle it safely.
Tree removal can be dangerous work. Using a professional means it’s done safely, efficiently, and with the right equipment. We’re fully insured, trained in height safety, and we know how to remove trees without damaging your home, garden, or nearby structures.
Sometimes, yes. Especially if the tree is protected or located near a boundary, waterway, or public area. We can guide you through what’s allowed and help with any required permits if needed.
That depends on the tree’s size, location, and how much cleanup or stump work is involved. We’re happy to visit your property, take a look, and give you a free quote.
