Very often we encounter that people underestimate the amount of work that is involved in cutting a tree.

There are basically 3 stages in tree work.

In the beginning the arborist evaluates the size of the tree. He will notice possible risks that might be involved in felling the tree or trimming it (e.g. risk of hitting a nearby house). the arborist also gets clear about how to access the tree from the ground to execute the pruning/cutting of branches.

In the second stage is the process of cutting. This can be very time consuming as the weight and shape of the branches and the accessibility determine on how the job progresses to the desired outcome.

After the cutting has been completed stage 3 begins. Here all cut branches and debris are removed and put through a chipping machine.

The amount of branches and tree debris can at times be very deceptive. Even small trees have a lot of material to dispose of.

If you have a question regarding a tree that needs pruning/trimming you can always contact us and we are more than happy to give you advice and consultancy.

While emptying garden bags and garden bins in West Auckland and Central Auckland each week we come across some "surprises" hidden in the green waste recepticals.

From plastic to old shoes or dead pigeons you can find almost anything in there.

Please always make sure that you use your garden bag or garden bin for green waste only.

It is important to keep your different types of rubbish seperated as it otherwise creates problems for the process of recycling.

So what does actually go into your garden bin or garden bag?
 

  • leaves
  • branches (no bigger than 100 mm in diameter)
  • foliage, greenery
  • plant roots
  • weeds
  • lawn clippings
  • flax and bamboo by special arrangement 

    You can also check the following link to read about the Auckland City Council bylaw that describes the purpose of your 240l wheelie bin.
