A complex task that takes experience and the right gear to get done safely. Here are just a few recent dismantling jobs from around the Bay.
There are many reasons a much-loved tree may no longer suit a property. Some grow too large and block light to the house or yard. Others become diseased and need removing for safety. And when you're buying or developing, quite often a tree stands in the way of a great new idea.
The Trees DONE team has the experience to manage your dismantling job, with tall trees a specialty. Does your tree hang over an existing structure? No problem, we can safely get that sorted for you.

Cyclone damage forced the complete removal of this tree. Our large boom lift was perfect for the job. The wind had brought down one large limb, compromising the upper canopy, so we de-limbed the canopy and blocked down the trunk. On the ground, the rings were cut to eighths for the local Lions to collect for charity.
This damaged tree outside Ōtūmoetai College needed urgent attention with the start of the school term looming.
A good day's work in Te Puna dismantling cedar, conifer and cherry so the owner could replant natives. We also removed a large bamboo grove and used the stump grinder to prepare the ground for new grass.
This Whakamarama lifestyle block has amazing views from up in the hills looking down to Ōmokoroa and Mount Maunganui. We maximised the views by retaining the mature trees and crown-lifting the lower limbs.
Large poplars were taking too much sunlight from this Katikati orchard. The replacement shelter belt will grow super-fast to protect the kiwifruit and avocado trees, chip spread under the canopy feeds the soil, and the large wood became firewood.
This pōhutukawa in Matua needed to make way for a new garage. Shawn and Jack took a full day, lowering limbs and chipping the branches. The owners get three winters of firewood, and the mulch was donated to a community garden.
Norfolk pines are spectacular trees, but this large specimen was blocking light from a Brookfield house and garden. The removal took a full day for our team.
This large poplar in Pahoia was getting too big for the paddock it bordered. The trunk made great firewood for the owner, and the branches were all chipped on site.
This large conifer was blocking sunlight from a nearby kiwifruit orchard and had to be dismantled to lift production, a day and a half's work for a crew of three using lowering techniques.
This massive Norfolk pine at John's bach on Cook's Beach was a huge job, but only took a day for the Trees DONE team.
We dismantled this tōtara using safe, effective lowering techniques so there was no damage to the driveway and pool. The tree had outgrown its spot, and leaving it would have cracked the driveway and pool.
This huge gum tree was in a tricky spot overhanging a shed on a Whakamarama lifestyle block, and rot had taken over half the trunk. A zero-waste job: the wood chips went to Whakamarama School, and the ringed-up logs became firewood for the owner.
