When a tree becomes a concern, removal may seem like the only solution. But at Think Trees, we like to find smarter and less drastic options that allow your tree to stay and thrive.
While we always explore preservation first, tree removal is sometimes necessary. Northland’s stormy weather can leave trees damaged and unstable, which can pose risks to people, property, and the surrounding landscape. Other times, trees simply outgrow their space or need to be cleared for construction.
At Think Trees, we’ll assess the situation quickly and honestly. If tree removal is the best option, we’ll carry it out with skill, safety and minimal disruption. Our fully trained and certified arborists have the experience, knowledge and equipment to remove trees efficiently and responsibly, while taking care to protect the environment around them.
The Think Trees tree removal service includes:
In some cases, yes, especially if the tree is protected or located in a conservation zone. We can advise you on whether consent is required and guide you through the process, if needed.
Tree removal is dangerous work that should only be carried out by trained professionals. It involves working at height, managing heavy branches, and using specialised equipment. For your safety (and your property’s), always hire a qualified arborist.
Not all problem trees need to come out. We assess every tree on-site and only recommend removal if there are safety, health or space concerns that can’t be resolved with pruning or other interventions.
We’ll begin with an on-site assessment, then plan the removal using techniques such as felling, sectional dismantling, rigging, or crane work. It depends on the location and structure of the tree. We work safely and efficiently, with minimal impact on your property.
Yes, stump grinding is available as part of our tree removal service. We can grind the stump below ground level, leaving the area ready for planting or landscaping.
We can mulch branches and smaller material on site using our 12 inch Morbark chipper. Larger wood can be left as firewood or taken away. It’s up to you.
Not necessarily. We aim to preserve trees wherever possible, but sometimes removal is the most responsible option, especially if the tree is hazardous, diseased or invasive. We always consider the ecological impact and offer advice on suitable replacement planting if you like.
Costs vary depending on the size, location, access and complexity of the job. We’re happy to provide a free quote after an on-site visit. Just talk to us and we’ll take it from there.
Yes. We’re trained and equipped to carry out complex removals in tight or hazardous spaces, including near buildings, fences, or power lines. We are Northpower approved contractors, and safety is a top priority.
The leftovers can be chopped to provide you with firewood or mulched so you can use the wood chippings and leaves for your garden. All the debris can be taken away if you prefer.
Yes, we operate a 12-inch Morbark chipper to process material on site. Branches under 12 inches in diameter can be mulched, and anything larger can be cut into firewood and left for your use or removed completely. The choice is yours, and we’ll make the process as simple as possible.
