Case Study: Precision Tree Care at a Luxury Estate in Coatesville

Location: Coatesville, Auckland

Completed: March 2025

Sector: High-profile Residential Estate

Snapshot:

When the exterior manager of this expansive Coatesville estate reached out, they needed a professional team who could work discreetly, efficiently, and with absolute attention to detail.

Urban Arborists was selected for our reputation as Auckland’s top-rated arborist company — trusted to deliver high-quality results on a site where nothing short of excellence would do.

"The project was completed as quoted and within the allocated time frame. They did a great job of keeping everything tidy and clearing up afterwards - you could barely tell where they had been, other than that the dead trees and stumps had disappeared. I would recommend Urban Arborists. Professional, punctual and the team did a fantastic job."— Estate Manager, Coatesville

Scope of Work:

• Tree Removals: 5 dead trees

• Palm Tree Pruning: 6 mature palms

• Stump Grinding: 20 stumps, including remnants from a previous contractor

• Site Clean-Up: All green waste chipped and removed from site

Our Approach

Day 1: Tree Removals & Stump Grinding

A two-person crew was assigned to remove five dead trees and grind 20 stumps across uneven terrain — requiring specialist equipment and precise operation. Temperatures soared, but the team pressed on safely and efficiently, completing the first stage to plan.

Day 2: Palm Tree Pruning & Site Clearance

Day two focused on palm pruning and waste clearance. A three-person crew pruned six mature palms to remove unsightly fronds and eliminate risk to vehicles and people. All waste from both days was chipped and taken off-site, leaving the estate clean and presentable.

Why They Picked Urban Arborists:

This high-profile client valued:

• Punctuality

• Trustworthiness

• Clear communication

• Discretion

• Flawless Workmanship

Our experienced team liaised directly with the estate’s grounds manager, providing a pre-job site inspection, expert advice, and a precise work schedule. Every detail was considered and delivered — on time, on budget, and to the highest arboricultural standard.

The Outcome

✅ Safety Improved: Hazardous and dead trees removed

✅ Visual Impact Lifted: Stumps cleared for a clean, seamless finish

✅ Clean Site Handover: All debris removed — no trace left behind

This wasn’t just tree work — it was estate-level tree care delivered with precision and professionalism. The results speak for themselves.

From Our Director, Jed Copsey
