  • Multi-tree residential clearances
  • Lifestyle block and rural lot clearing
  • All material chipped or taken off site

We cover tree cutting across Tauranga and surrounding areas in the Western Bay of Plenty. All sizes, all species. Call Kauri directly on 027 600 0446.

Tree cutting in Tauranga ranges from same-day emergency response after a subtropical storm system to planned section clearing for new development. The city's growth rate and the subtropical weather events that track up the Bay of Plenty coast mean tree cutting demand in Tauranga is consistent year-round. Storm response is a priority — trees down across suburban streets, branches on roofs, and fallen pohutukawa on the harbour-side properties all need attention quickly. We respond the same day for genuine hazards. For planned cutting, we work on tight urban sections with the precision the site requires. Debris handling is a significant part of every Tauranga job — we chip on site or haul away, and we don't leave the section in a worse state than we found it. Tauranga City Council's tree management rules apply across the city. Some trees in the urban environment are subject to heritage or significant tree provisions, and cutting these without consent is an offence. We check the council's significant tree register before quoting any Tauranga job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a tree cutting job in Tauranga?
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 Tauranga?
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.
