For over 20 years, owner-operator Shawn Moriarty-Rae has been honing his skills as an arboriculturist. Starting his career in Sydney, Australia, Shawn has built a track record spanning three countries and a range of working environments ranging from small businesses to large arborist companies to now owning his own business and employing four staff.

With wife Cushla, Shawn begins TreesDONE with the aim of providing top-quality arborist services in the Western Bay of Plenty.
A new chapter
TreesDONE began with a single Isuzu truck and a 12in vermeer chipper. Since that time we have grown our fleet to three vehicles and a staff of five enthusiastic arboriculturists.
We pride ourselves in investing in only the best gear. We use and recommend Stihl chainsaws, trimmers and polesaws. Our most recent investments include a Toyota 4×4 Dyna to access harder terrain, a brand new Bandit 12in chipper and a 2016 Vermeer stump grinder.
