About Tree Hugga
We look after your trees and hedges in a safe, controlled manner that minimises risk.
Our powerful "tree hugga" grabs and holds the trunk while the cutting blade cuts it through — the top is then lowered to the ground in a safe, controlled manner, minimising potential damage to buildings, fences and gardens.
With specialised equipment, a working relationship with Orion and Mainpower, and up-to-date training, we bring the highest standard of care to every job — from a single tree to full land clearing.

FAQ
Good questions, straight answers.
Do you prune trees?
No — we can top them, but we're not arborists.
Who cleans up the debris?
Talk to us before the job — we have a chipper (The Beast) and can mulch the tree on site, or remove it and clean up.
Can I remove the tree and leave the stump?
Yes — though we don't recommend it.
When's the best time to remove a tree?
Any time — though it's more efficient when the ground is firm.
When should I consider removing a tree?
Removal is recommended when the tree is dead or dying, is hazardous, causes an obstruction that can't be corrected by pruning, is crowding and harming other trees, has root problems, is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen, or should be removed for new construction.
