There is no standard price because every tree is different. Size and condition, access, nearby buildings, the equipment and crew needed, waste removal and whether the stump is ground out all affect the cost. We visit first, then give you a clear quote before work starts. Our guide to tree removal costs in Hamilton and the Waikato explains each factor.

We tidy the site when the job is finished and can chip, mulch or remove the debris. Tell us at the quote stage how you'd like the wood handled so it's covered in the quote.

Tell us when we quote if you'd like to keep logs or woodchip and we'll plan the job around it. Suitable timber can also be cut for firewood.

The address, a few clear photos of the whole tree and the area around it, and a note of anything close by such as buildings, fences or power lines. It helps us understand the job before we visit.

Sometimes. Hamilton City Council protects more than 350 notable trees under its District Plan. The council says protected trees cannot be removed, that you must contact it for advice and will probably need a resource consent, and that street and park trees must not be pruned or removed without its permission. Beyond that, it says it does not get involved in other trees on private property. These are Hamilton City Council rules: other Waikato councils have their own district plans, so check with the right council if your property is outside Hamilton. See the council's tree guidance.

It depends on the species and the reason for pruning. Many trees suit late winter while dormant, but dead, damaged or dangerous limbs can be removed at any time. Our guide to the best time to prune trees in the Waikato goes into more detail.
