Yes, according to community law, you’re allowed to trim back branches or roots from a neighbour’s tree if they’re coming onto your property. That said, it’s always worth having a quick chat with your neighbour first. Most people appreciate the heads-up, and it keeps things friendly.
All arborists we work with are fully qualified with the New Zealand Certificate in Horticulture Services (Level 4) – Arboriculture. This means they’ve been trained in everything from tree health and pruning to safe climbing and rigging. Many also have additional certifications like first aid and chainsaw safety, and all have hands-on experience working in the field. You can trust you’re in safe, expert hands.
