Tree removal Wellington — Safe, professional, fully insured
From a single storm-damaged tree to a full section clearance, Tree Rangers handles tree removal across Wellington with precision and care. We assess every job on site and never cut corners on safety.
Professional tree removal done right
Trees are removed for all sorts of reasons — storm damage, disease, structural risk, or simply reclaiming space. Whatever the reason, our Wellington arborists assess every tree individually before recommending removal. We'll always let you know if pruning is a viable alternative. When removal is the right call, we bring the right equipment and expertise to get it done cleanly and safely.
Free on-site assessment
We visit the property, assess the tree, identify any risks, and check access. You get a clear quote with no surprises.
Council permit check
Some trees in Wellington require a resource consent before removal. We'll advise you on requirements so you're covered before any work begins.
Safe, controlled removal
Our team uses professional rigging, climbing, and felling techniques suited to the site. Safety for your property and neighbours is always the priority.
Full site clean-up
Once the tree is down, we clear all debris and leave your property tidy. Wood chipping, log splitting, or full removal — your choice.

What Wellingtonians say about us
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."
