Who we are
Arboriculture done properly, from the ground up.
Arb Innovations has been practising arboriculture since October 2012. Every consultation and every quote is carried out by a qualified arborist, and a qualified arborist stays on site for the duration of any tree work. That is not a marketing line — it is how the business is structured.
02 — Advisory
Consulting & reporting
Hazard tree reports, resource consent tree protection plans, collection surveys, valuations, monitoring and expert witness work for councils, developers and asset managers.
Consulting services →Tree services
The full range of arboricultural work.
No matter how big or small the job, the same standard applies: modern technique, eco-conscious method, and a qualified arborist on site throughout.
01Tree pruning
Formative pruning, crown lifting, crown reduction, thinning and fruit tree pruning. Topping is not a recognised practice — and we don't do it.

02Tree removal
Dead, dangerous or unwanted. Sectional dismantling where buildings, gardens or services sit inside the fall zone.
Read more →
03Tree trimming
Hedges and shrubs trimmed to species tolerance — conifers lightly, camellias harder. Knowing the difference matters.
Read more →
04Tree transplanting
The right tree in the wrong place, or a tree with sentimental value — safely lifted and relocated.
Read more →
05Tree bracing
Assessment and installation of bracing systems where limbs or stems need support to extend a tree's safe life.

08Land clearing
Vegetation clearance for development, access and fire risk — with the plant to match the scale of the site.
Read more →Tree care
Keeping trees healthy, not just tidy.
09Fertilisation & watering
Targeted nutrition and irrigation programmes for stressed, newly planted or high-value trees.
Read more →
10Mulching
Correctly specified and applied mulch to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature and feed the root zone.

11Soil care
Decompaction and soil improvement — most tree problems above ground start below it.
Read more →

Storm response
When the weather wins, call us first.
Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable. Uprooted root plates, hung-up limbs and split stems hold enormous stored energy and are genuinely dangerous to property owners and the public. Don't approach them — we'll assess and make the site safe.
Call 04 212 6366Roots below, canopy above, and a decade of practice in between. Since 2012 we've built Arb Innovations on qualified people, modern method and a genuine regard for the trees we're trusted with.
