Need an arborist? Here’s a quick overview of how we can help.
No property damage, even in confined spaces.
RoyalTree Ltd has the skill and competency to ensure all tree removals are conducted safely.
Whether felled whole or dismantled with rigging techniques or even cranes, we combine the best and latest techniques with safe work methods to ensure every tree removal goes smoothly.
Pruning comes in many different forms, and Royal Tree can do them all!
• Formative pruning - establish good shape and form
• Thinning - increase light through the crown and establish good form
• Deadwooding – removing dead and dying branches throughout the crown
• Crown lifting (the removal of low hanging limbs)
• Reductions for views, sun, stabilisation or tree health purposes
• Pollarding – a high maintenance but effective height management method
• Hedge trimming – Manicuring shrubs and trees into hedges
At RoyalTree, we deal with mature trees and shrubs on a regular basis, and as such are more than qualified to give you an insight into exactly what trees will look like 5, 50, or even 100 years down the line.
Poor planting, in particular poor species selection, is one of the most common causes of client frustration. Poplars in between your house and lakeview are never going to serve you well. Red Beech under powerlines is going to be an exercise in wasting money. By choosing RoyalTree for your planting needs, we'll steer you in the right direction so that your trees fulfil their potential and give you enjoyment long into old age.
Precision trimming for every hedge type.
Whether you're after a neatly manicured formal hedge or a natural, free-flowing boundary, RoyalTree has the tools and expertise to get it right. We work with all hedge types and sizes across Queenstown and the surrounding area, delivering clean lines and healthy growth you'll notice straight away.
Recycled on-site into nutrient-rich mulch or sold by the cubic metre including delivery. Organic, natural, and great for your soil.
Been busy gardening over the long Otago summer? Got a pile of branches that you would like turned into beautiful, mulch gold?
Recycling is the name of the game here. By taking your woody green waste and processing it we can offer you a fantastic bi-product that will feed your plants, help retain moisture in the soil and keep weeds down, all in an organic and natural way.
