Common questions
Do I need council permission to cut down a tree?
Usually not for ordinary garden trees, but some trees are protected under your council's district plan, especially large native or heritage trees. Check with the council, or ask the arborist to check, before work starts.
What qualifications should an arborist have?
Look for a New Zealand Certificate in Arboriculture and membership of the NZ Arboricultural Association. Ask for proof of public liability insurance, especially for work near houses or power lines.
