Customer testimonials
James Holden is an experienced arborist who has been looking after my Waikanae property for the second year.
I am very impressed with his professionalism and ability to shape trees and hedges.
As a result, my son and daughter as well as my grandson have used his services. They are all very happy with the results
"We have hired Tree Rangers twice now to cut back and shape some very overgrown trees and have been very happy with their work. James is very knowledgeable and has given us some great advice. His team worked quickly and efficiently, despite the wet conditions both times!"
"James's knowledge of how to properly prune trees is excellent. His first visit a year ago was so well done we asked him to come again this year to maintain some of the previous work, as well as some hedges and trees on a different part of the property. He beautifully shaped and reduced our copper beech, silver birch and maple trees as well as several NZ natives. I highly recommend his work and he is a lovely guy to boot."
