We are a local Ashburton arborist crew operating in Ashburton, Rakaia, Leeston and the greater Selwyn District.

After forming our company in May 2023, after 10years in arboriculture and 4 years in horticulture, with a dream and a vision to provide the best tree care with the best equipment we could offer. We aim to provide tree care that is simple efficient and precisely what you want and what you didn’t know you needed.

We practice new techniques in climbing and researching equipment to reduce physical stress, so we can focus on delivering the perfect service. We also aim to work with our clients to understand what they are wanting in their space and what they need, and provide insight and advice to future proof their properties, gardens and landscape. Helping our clients understand the growth patterns and times to prune, trim and remove empowers our customers to know they are doing the best for their trees.

We work with farmers, lifestyle blocks, residential, and rental properties to help manage trees, hedges, shrubs, stumps and logs on site. We have services that cover all your tree needs, tree removals, hedge trimming, tree milling, tree reductions and stump removal. With our chipper we can chip all brush on site and leave it for you for future use on your garden or we can remove it and leave your backyard clean and tidy.

Our Services:

  • Tree Removal

    We work safely and efficiently to remove trees that are blocking your sunlight, push up pavements, damaging your home/building foundations, and dangerous or at risk trees.

    We work with contractors to ensure the safe removal of trees of all shapes, sizes, and in difficult locations.

  • Formal Pruning

    Expert pruning techniques to enhance the general health, shape, and tailored to your specific preferences for trees and shrubs of all shapes and sizes.

    Pruning requires the removal of deadwood, broken branches, unwanted limbs to ensure a healthier stronger tree.

    Make the most of your pruning by pruning your trees and shrubs in winter to encourage new growth in spring.

  • Tree Reductions

    Reduce the size and volume of your trees while maintaining their natural beauty and structural integrity. Whether its removing hazardous and dangerous tree branches, lifting the tree to give a tidier appearance or to encourage the growth of a tree.

  • Hedge Trimming

    Precise trimming with straight cut lines and shaping of hedges to promote growth, density, and a neat appearance, transforming your landscape.

    Knowing when to trim your hedge can be hard, we encourage trimming hedges twice a year to maintain your hedge growth density and longevity.

    Eliminate pesky old tree stumps from your landscape, grinding them down below ground level for a seamless finish and enhanced usability of your space.

    Removing stumps keeps your lawn mower safe, prevents regrowth of unwanted trees and levels our your space.

What Our Clients Say

  • "Seth was an absolute pleasure to deal with and so pleased he covers rural areas. He understood exactly what we were wanting to achieve and did an excellent job. Very impressed with his knowledge of trees and tree climbing skills. Also very happy with the Milling work they also did - so pleased a 100+ year old tree trunk will be turned into some stunning furniture or kitchen bench tops - saved from being chopped into firewood. The added bonus of having the trimmed branches turned into beautiful mulch for the garden was the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend Seth & his team for the work they do - they have all the skills, knowledge and top quality tools to get your job done well and safely! đź‘Ť"

  • "Exceptional operator, well organized. Seth trimmed our 250m Cherry Laurel hedge around our home to exact precision as I am very particular. Work Completed all within half a day. Highly recommend."

    Lance Caffell

  • "Precision Trees are exactly that. Seth has good work ethic, he treats you well, and does a great job. He has helped us maintain our trees and recently cut down a large overbearing Oak tree. It left a large stump and he later came and removed the stump with a stump grinder- it was all a large task- and he did this all without any harm to neighbouring property. You can be assured he is careful and will do a great job!"
