Professional arborist for tree care and maintenance services from Tawa to Levin
Proper tree care improves and maintains your trees, hedges and shrubs' long-term natural appearance, health and vitality. In addition to enhancing the look of your tree, regular tree checks and maintenance improves safety by removing branches that cause concern or by noticing and dealing with a diseased or unstable tree. Well-maintained trees can increase property value and healthy trees contribute to environmental conservation by providing oxygen, supporting wildlife, and improving water and soil quality. Investing in tree care and hedge trimming is investing in the beauty, safety, and sustainability of your surroundings.

Lukes TreeWalkers offers directional and formative pruning services
The type of pruning method used depends on the issue, the age and type of tree and what you are trying to achieve. Directive and formative tree pruning services can also be used separately or in combination; Lukes TreeWalkers can advise on the best option for you.
Directive pruning is when you try to influence or get the tree to grow in a particular direction, for example, by getting problematic branches away from the house or power lines. Formative pruning is more about encouraging the growth and structure of a young tree so as it matures and grows, it doesn't cause problems. Weaker cross branches are pruned to allow stronger branches to grow, which also helps to enhance a tree's natural beauty and appearance. Get in touch today for a quote.
Get more light and better views with crown lifting or crown reduction
Crown lifting involves selectively taking out lower branches and giving the trunk of the tree more height - this helps to get more light underneath the tree and enables better views and access. On the other hand, crown reduction refers to reducing the tree's overall height by pruning back the outer branches. Maintaining your tree's natural shape requires skill and expert knowledge about how best to handle the different species of trees. Lukes TreeWalkers are experienced arborists with advanced rigging qualifications - we can safely tackle any job, big or small.
Professional hedge trimming is essential for maintaining its health and vitality
Trimming hedges is not just about looks; it's about improving the overall health and safety of the hedge plants. We can expertly reduce the size of your hedges while preserving their natural form or we can shape hedges to the desired height and width. Well-maintained hedges serve as excellent privacy screens, windbreaks, sources of shade, and boundary markers.
