No tree is too tricky

Tight access? Sloping site? Large, leaning canopy? No problem. We specialise in complex removals other teams won’t take on. From cranes to MEWPs (mobile elevated work platforms), we’ve got the tools and expertise to make it happen.

We get the job done, fast.

We’re quick because we know what we’re doing. Our crew uses efficient systems and powerful machinery to complete even large jobs in a fraction of the time — then we clean up with care, leaving your site spotless and ready for the next step.

Tree Removal Is Serious Business

At Urban Arborists, safety isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into every part of our process. We operate with precision, planning, and care, backed by full membership with Site Safe, IMPAC Prequal, and the New Zealand Arboricultural Association.

Our team is trained to handle high-risk removals, confined spaces, and complex sites without cutting corners. We’re fast because we’re experienced — not because we take risks. With $5 million in public liability insurance and a reputation for doing things right, you can trust us to put safety first, every time.

Tree Removal with Purpose

Removing trees is sometimes necessary — but we believe it should never be without giving something back. That’s why, for every tree we remove, we plant a native one in its place.

Take a Tree - Give a Tree

Tree removal is part of our job, but we’re not blind to the importance of native trees for New Zealand’s biodiversity, climate, and whenua.At Urban Arborists, we care deeply about Aotearoa’s ecosystems.

Through our Take a Tree - Give a Tree initiative, we’re actively helping regenerate native forests across the country, turning tree removal into tree renewal. Follow our progress here.

For Every Tree We Must Remove, We Plant a Native Tree.

Our Process: Tree Removal Auckland

Free on-site assessment and detailed quote
Help with council consent if required
Tailored removal plan using ropes, cranes, or elevated platforms
Careful dismantling to protect surrounding structures
Full site clean-up and green waste removal
Clear, reliable communication from start to finish

Whether it’s a towering pine in Remuera, a tricky removal in Grey Lynn, or a storm-damaged tree on the North Shore — we’ve got the gear, the experience, and the crew to get it done safely.

Costs vary depending on tree size, location, and access. On average, tree removals in Auckland range between $500 and $3000. Larger or more technical jobs may cost more. We offer free quotes – just send us photos or book a site visit.
The material we remove, including tree limbs, branches and foliage is chipped on-site and sent to our network of local partners wherever possible. They find ways to repurpose it for gardens, parks and community spaces.

One of our regular partners uses recycled mulch and green waste to support restorative gardening projects across Freemans Bay and Western Park. This mulch helps:

Restore soil health and nutrients

Support native planting and pollinators

Retain moisture and suppress weeds

Reduce carbon footprint by avoiding landfill

We’re proud to contribute to initiatives like this, where garden waste becomes garden gold, helping bring biodiversity back to urban spaces.

Prefer to keep some mulch for your own garden? Just let us know — we’re happy to leave it behind or remove everything, depending on your preference.
In some cases, yes. We’ll guide you through any consent requirements if they apply.
Absolutely. We use ropes, pulleys, cranes and careful dismantling techniques to remove trees safely, even in tight urban spaces.
Stump grinding is a service which is included in the quote unless you tell us you want it left behind.

Is Tree Removal the Right Choice?

In many cases, a tree can be saved — but when safety, structure or space is at risk, tree removal can be the most responsible solution.

We may recommend tree removal when there is:

Structural weakness from rot, disease or decay
Risk to homes, buildings, driveways or footpaths
Overcrowding or blocked light/views
Disruption to surrounding vegetation
Planned development or landscape redesign
Storm damage or urgent safety concerns

Please do not attempt to remove a tree yourself - Our arborists can conduct thorough assessments to recommend the most suitable solution for your specific needs.

Please contact us immediately if you have an emergency, we offer emergency/24-hour call-out.
