Tree work in Karaka

Karaka is lifestyle block, equestrian and large-section country, and the tree work reflects that: shelter belts, mature specimen trees, driveway avenues and windthrow after southerlies.

Our crews work cleanly around stock, fencing, arenas and long driveways, and chip or mulch on site where that suits the property.

What we do most in Karaka

  • Shelter belt trimming, reduction and staged removal
  • Specimen tree pruning and health assessment
  • Windthrow and storm damage clean-up on large properties
  • Mulch left on site for tracks and gardens where wanted

Windthrow clean-up across an equestrian property

After a southerly took out macrocarpa along an arena boundary, we cleared the fallen timber, made safe two split specimen trees and reduced the remaining shelter belt — all worked around stock movements and arena bookings.

Outcome

  • Arena back in use the same week
  • Mulch retained on site for tracks and gardens
  • Remaining shelter belt reduced to lower future risk
Careful around the horses, careful around the fences, and they cleaned up better than the last crew we had out.
