Tree Thinning & Crown Reductions

If you have a large or oversized tree on your property and you are finding that it is obstructing sunlight to your favourite area, we can help. Our experienced team of arborists can expertly trim, remove, and/or reduce the height or density of your tree/s.

Our tree thinning and crown reduction service includes:

Initial on-site visit to assess the health and structure of your tree, and discuss with you your desired level of size reduction and thinning. During this visit we can advise you on the most optimal approach to deliver the desired result, keeping in mind the importance of maintaining the long-term health and life of your tree.

Once assessed, we will provide (within 24-hours) your no obligation quote. This will outline the agreed approach, and likely time on-site.

On the chosen day for the task, our team of trained arborists will arrive with specialist tools and equipment. This includes our commercial level woodchipper / mulcher to remove all cut branches and green waste.

Professional removal of all deadwood, reducing harm and damage to your tree, property, and boundary fences. Deadwood removal also enhances and supports the appearance of your tree.

Tree Thinning | Crown Reductions | Crown Lifting | Dead Wooding

Tree Thinning

Our Wellington based team of trained arborists can carefully and skilfully thin out the upper canopy of your tree, letting the warmth and sunlight reach the surrounding areas.

With our services you get:

Our experienced pruning techniques, combined with a professional eye, to carefully shape and reduce the topiary volume. The result, a quality finish, with the tree maintaining its natural appearance.
A proficient service with our full commercial level tree trimming and tree thinning equipment, and our experienced team.
Our commitment to providing competitive pricing and a quality service. We take great pride in delivering an efficient service for what often is a difficult job.

Crown Lifting

With our ‘crown lifting’ service we carefully remove the low hanging branches, so that you get the benefit of more light under your tree’s canopy.

As trained arborists, with in-depth knowledge of the tree specimen / type, we will undertake the task in a skilled manner. We are careful to not put undue stress on the tree, while supporting its long-term health and growth.

The benefits of crown lifting include:

Easier access to walk and mow your lawn under the tree.
Ability and option to use the freed-up land space in a desired way.
Letting greater light into the section, helping nearby plants and vegetation to grow.
Improving the aesthetics and look of your section.

Crown Reductions

Oversized trees, growing too high in the wrong location, can often reduce the enjoyment of a property, and/or lead to causing damage to your home and/or buildings.

Crown reduction is a method of tree thinning, where the focus is to reduce the amount and density of the trees’ topiary / foliage. This is not the same as ‘topping’ the tree, which ideally should only be done in certain circumstances.

As part of our crown reduction service, we remove the deadwood, improving the overall finish and look of your tree.

Our arborists hold Level 3 and above NZQA certifications, or equivalent arboriculture certifications.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

“Thanks to the crew at Armes Trees Solutions for a great job. We had significant tree growth needing attention across several different mature trees and hedges, including branches extending near power, and the crew did a very professional and tidy job, thanks!”

Vanessa Scholes

“We had an excellent all round experience. We outlined what we required and it was confirmed with an on site photo so it was clear what was to be done. A prompt quote and then good communication as to when the work would take place. A top quality job and the team on site were pleasant, responsive and professional. We got good value for money and have recommended Armes to our friends.”
