Local Tree Work in Maketu

Okurei Point, on which Maketu sits, is a geomorphological feature of international significance — the only example in New Zealand of converging littoral drift creating opposing sandspits. This unique coastal landform shapes the wind exposure and salt environment that all vegetation on the peninsula must withstand. The Western Bay of Plenty District Council and Bay of Plenty Regional Council share regulatory oversight, with district rules governing trees on private land and regional provisions managing the coastal marine area and sediment controls. Any tree work near the estuary margins must account for the ongoing Kaituna River re-diversion and wetland restoration project completed in 2020. Wahitapu Contracting Ltd provides tree cutting services across Maketu's distinctive coastal environment. Free site assessments available. Call 027 600 0446.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a tree cutting job in Maketu?

A standard tree cutting job includes felling or sectional removal of the tree, chipping all branches and foliage, and removing or stacking the timber depending on your preference. Stump grinding is quoted separately — it's a different piece of equipment and the price depends on stump diameter and root spread. We always leave the site clean.

Can you cut trees on a steep or difficult site in Maketu?

Yes. Steep lifestyle blocks and rural properties are common in the Western Bay of Plenty, and access is often limited. We assess the site before quoting and plan the job accordingly — sometimes this means more hand work rather than machinery, which affects the price but ensures the job gets done safely.

Do you remove the stump as well?

Stump grinding is a separate service and separate quote. Once a tree is cut, the stump is ground to below ground level using a dedicated stump grinder. The price depends on the diameter of the stump and how accessible it is. We can do both on the same day or you can book stump grinding separately later — your call.
