Precision Tree Services for the
Construction Industry
Clearing the way safely and on-time, every time.
Deadlines don’t wait — and neither should you.
We're aware that construction projects are meticulously planned down to the day or even hour.
Inspections, trades, budgets, and targets to hit – all lined up months in advance.
But when it’s time to move, even one unreliable contractor can create a ripple effect through everything you’ve planned.
Scrambling crews while the clocks ticking is a recipe for a tarnished reputation and a blown-out budget.
You don’t need another contractor you have to babysit.
You need a partner like Urban Arborists, who understands what’s at stake – and delivers on time, follows the rules and takes the initiative exactly when you need it.
✔️ Auckland's Highest Rated Arborist Company
✔️ 44+ years of combined crew experience
✔️ One number to call. No chasing. No crossed wires.
Our goal is to show up, work and leave without you noticing. We're the arborists you can trust to just get it done without pulling you away from other important matters that require your attention.
➔ Big or small, our standards don’t change. Fast, clean, fully compliant.

Auckland Girls Grammar
ROBERT CUNNINGHAM CONSTRUCTION
When Robert Cunningham Construction needed trees cleared for a major gymnasium redevelopment at Auckland Girls Grammar, they called us in. We completed the job safely over two days, ensuring construction could begin without a hitch.
The brief: Remove 8 trees during school hours
Challenges: Tight site access, uneven ground, multiple hazards
Outcome:
✅Trees removed, including Hiaab lift (overhanging fencing)
✅Safety cordons, emergency response plan, site safety protocols
✅ Site cleanup upon completion
"On construction projects like this, time is money - but safety is everything. Our team is not just fast and capable, but fully aligned with the health and safety expectations of commercial clients.”
- Jed Copsey, Director - Urban Arborists
We show up on time.
We handle it.
We clean up.
Absolutely. Some clients bring us in when their usual team is at capacity, or when they need a faster or more specialised response. We’re happy to slot in where we add value - and we’ll never overstep our role.
We handle both.
Whether it’s a multi-stage clearance across several lots with numerous contractors or a tight-access removal of 1-3 trees.
We bring the same speed, professionalism, and clean handover every time - our standards don’t change.If it’s under a tight deadline or has risk involved - it’s our kind of work.
Certain trees are protected by law or require consent. We can easily identify these trees for you and help manage the consent application process. No guesswork. No fines.
All work is completed under full H&S compliance, including your site-specific safety plans, hazard assessments, and emergency protocols.
We also possess the following:-
IMPAC Prequalified: We're a pre-approved contractor for high-risk work.
-
NZArb Certified: All of our crew are certified by the New Zealand Arboricultural Association for professional standards.
-
Council Approved: We’re registered with local bodies for permitted clearance work across Auckland.
-
$5M Public Liability Insurance: Urban Arborists have public liability insurance cover up to $5,000,000 NZD, should the unthinkable occur.
