Tree Talk
At Tree King we genuinely care about trees. With 64% of Auckland’s urban forest located on privately owned land, we believe it’s important that everyone becomes aware of the benefits of trees.
A heightened appreciation and a shared sense of responsibility to protect and care for our urban forest will foster its preservation. Together we can sustain the enjoyment and benefits of a natural environment in urban surroundings for future generations.

Plant replacement scheme update: 42/100

Hedges need trimming at least once a year, but as a general rule the more often you do them the better the result! More frequently trimmed hedges end up straighter, thicker and tidier.
Is this tree protected?
Before you do irreversible damage to Auckland's urban forest, and potentially your wallet, a quick check to make sure any trees you intend on cutting or removing aren't protected, can save problems arising further down the track.
When that stump is in the way!
