Tree Planting 

We are a great team of passionate tree planters who offer services throughout Dunedin and wider Otago. Whether it's at your home, workplace, school, or community, we’re happy to help. 

We are passionate about the ecological restoration of Aotearoa, replenishing the land with its native trees, and keeping our waterways clean with riparian planting. 

Tree Pruning and Ongoing Tree Maintenance 

If you have a tree that needs a little love, a bit of shaping, or fine pruning, we’d love to help. We value complete tree care here at Valley Arborist, caring for trees through all life stages both maintaining and looking after them into their old age. 

Pruning is a vital part of tree health as overgrowth can damage the structural properties of trees and decrease their life span. Pruning can also be essential in protecting surrounding property and preventing hazards such as run-ins with nearby powerlines. 

Tree Felling and Removal

It takes the right amount of expertise, equipment, and skill to safely take down any large tree. Our trusted and reliable team here at Valley Arborist have exactly what it takes to get the job done, as well as great options for the tree’s removal afterwards.

We can either take the tree away for you or arrange to have it processed into firewood. This way it can give back to you all year long. We can also organise stump grinding if desired. 

Hedge Trimming

Hedging can add an impressive layer of privacy, noise control, and beauty to your property which is why it’s important to maintain its clean and tidy appearance. Our qualified team provides expert hedge trimming throughout Otago. We can tackle your hedge; big or small. 

Tree Advice and Assessments

Valley Arborist offers professional tree advice to all with free, no-obligation quotes. Whether it’s knowing what to plant on a bare piece of land or needing a tree removed, we’re always happy to help.
