"TOP JOB!! We had a very large Puriri close to our house that needed to come down. Russ answered my email and after viewing the tree gave me a quote on the spot.
His team are experienced and professional. They worked in foul weather and made an excellent job. Russ came and did the stump grinding and did an outstanding job considering it was exceptionally hard wood and very close to the house and shed. I HIGHLY recommend Russ and his team you will not get better."

"I would highly recommend Rus and his team. We had a large oak tree that was dying and needed to be removed. Rus provided a quote on the spot and confirmed his availability. This was no small job and the price charged was every reasonable for the scale of work. The job was done on time and in one day, where other companies had indicated it would be 3 days to complete. His team worked non-stop, were professional and left the site clean and tidy. Rus truly knows the meaning of customer service and delivers on his promises."

"Russ took the time to listen to what I wanted and provided a written quote. The team turned up when they said and carried out the work. It was behind the back garden and quite difficult to access.. Wet and muddy.. but that didn't stop them at all, perhaps even added to their motivation. Would highly recommend."
