What Our Clients Say

  • Seth operates an amazingly skilled team, who today took down an oversized silver birch in our garden. Fantastic communication, pricing, tidy up/take it all away job. Highly recommend.

    Paul & Sandra Reid

  • "Just had Seth here this morning to grind 10 stumps and he has done such a great job and I'm so glad to have them sorted. Will definately be using him again to come and maintain my trees and highly recommend him for stump grinding."

    Genevieve Williams

  • "Exceptional operator, well organized. Seth trimmed our 250m Cherry Laurel hedge around our home to exact precision as I am very particular. Work Completed all within half a day. Highly recommend."

    Lance Caffell

  • "Always do a great job at a great price. Highly recommend."

    Jason Mactier

  • "Seth was an absolute pleasure to deal with and so pleased he covers rural areas. He understood exactly what we were wanting to achieve and did an excellent job. Very impressed with his knowledge of trees and tree climbing skills. Also very happy with the Milling work they also did - so pleased a 100+ year old tree trunk will be turned into some stunning furniture or kitchen bench tops - saved from being chopped into firewood. The added bonus of having the trimmed branches turned into beautiful mulch for the garden was the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend Seth & his team for the work they do - they have all the skills, knowledge and top quality tools to get your job done well and safely! đź‘Ť"

     Michelle Dolan-Scott

  • "Precision Trees are exactly that. Seth has good work ethic, he treats you well, and does a great job. He has helped us maintain our trees and recently cut down a large overbearing Oak tree. It left a large stump and he later came and removed the stump with a stump grinder- it was all a large task- and he did this all without any harm to neighbouring property. You can be assured he is careful and will do a great job!"

    Leeston Life Church
