What our customers say
Real reviews from Christchurch customers on Facebook.
“We can't recommend Nick highly enough. He properly thinned out and trimmed a magnificent Elm tree that had been butchered before we owned the property — she now looks much better. He also removed some pittos, a cabbage tree and trees that were dying on the other side of the property. Our front deck and entrance are now filled with light. Nick was efficient from the quote through to comms about arrival time, didn't disturb any plants underneath, we got firewood as a bonus, and the clean-up was first rate. You won't regret it.”
“Great work (×3 now) from Nick. Dependable, reliable and lets us know in good time if change of plan due to weather or whatever. Tidy as, fast worker, and very reasonably priced. No hesitation recommending to seniors, good man.”
“Nick always does a fantastic job. He's quick, efficient and well priced. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing a tree specialist.”
“Really top-notch service. Nick was knowledgeable, on time with his quote and his work, and he did a great job. Thanks!”
“Nick removed a huge pittosporum from our back courtyard. Made a fantastic job, no rubbish left. The person he contracted to do the stump grinding was excellent as well. Highly recommend.”
“It's not often I write praising a tradesperson! Nick offered to come and pick up my cabbage tree branches, and went beyond expectations by taking much of my other vegetation as well. A very kindly, capable young man — I think I will be calling him back in the near future.”
