Arborists by region, city and suburb

Pick your region, or send the job from wherever you are.

You can send a tree job from anywhere in New Zealand, and each region page below shows its local places, council tree rules and lines companies.

A tree on a power line or the house right now?

If anyone is in danger, call 111. A tree touching a street power line is the lines company's job, not an arborist's. Electricity Networks Aotearoa's lines company map gives the company and its phone number for any address. Your lines company isn't the same business as your power retailer, the company you pay your bill to.

What's on each region page

  • The cities, towns and suburbs we have pages for, linked so you can go straight to yours.
  • How the councils there protect trees, with a link to the council's rules where we've written them up.
  • The lines company for each part of the region, or how to find it where we could not confirm one.
  • Storms and wind, where the official records give us something useful to say.

Gisborne, Marlborough or the West Coast?

Tree jobs from Gisborne, Marlborough and the West Coast go through the same form: choose the job and add your postcode. For a tree on a line, Firstlight Network covers Gisborne, Wairoa and the East Coast. Marlborough Lines takes urgent faults, and Westpower has an emergency line for the West Coast.

Looking for a job rather than a place?

Every job has its own page: tree removal, pruning and trimming, hedge trimming, stump grinding and storm damage, with the full list on all tree jobs.

Before anything big is cut, the tree rules pages explain resource consents council by council. If your town isn't listed below, pick the nearest region: the postcode on the form tells us where the tree actually is.
