Preparing your property for storm season

The seven checks every Wellington homeowner should complete before winter fronts arrive.

New Zealand's climate, native species and property styles ask a specific kind of arboriculture, one that respects place. In this piece we walk through the essentials with the care and rigour our clients expect.

Every intervention starts with reading the tree: its structure, its context and its future. From there we prescribe the minimum, most beautiful, most durable outcome.

Key considerations

Environment, timing, tools, safety and cleanup, five pillars we return to before any climb. Get these right and everything else follows.

For property-specific advice, we're always happy to walk your site and talk through options. There's no substitute for eyes on the tree.
