Wahitapu Contracting provides the full range of tree services across Maketu and the surrounding coastal area of the Western Bay of Plenty District. Maketu is a place we approach with care — the pohutukawa, the estuary environment, and the cultural significance of the landscape all inform how we work here. We carry out removals, pruning, lopping, trimming, stump grinding, and storm response. We also advise on resource consent requirements under WBOPDC for trees in the coastal environment — many of the pohutukawa at Maketu are scheduled or subject to coastal environment rules, and removing or significantly pruning them without consent can result in enforcement action and fines. We'll tell you upfront at the site visit what requires consent and what doesn't, so there are no surprises. For non-protected trees and general residential work, the process is more straightforward. All work is done by Kauri directly — no subcontracting. We carry full public liability insurance. Free site assessments are available across Maketu. Call 027 600 0446.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a tree service company in Maketu is legitimate?
Check for a verifiable local phone number and address. Search the business name with the area and read the reviews — do they mention specific Bay of Plenty locations? Ask about public liability insurance before booking, and ask to see current proof. Be cautious of quotes given without a site visit — tree work varies too much for a meaningful remote price on anything but the simplest jobs. Wahitapu Contracting is based in Katikati, Kauri answers the phone directly, and we carry public liability insurance.
Do you do free quotes in Maketu?
Yes. We do free site assessments and quotes across Maketu and the Western Bay of Plenty. There's no obligation. We come out, look at the job, and give you a straight number. We don't quote off photos or descriptions — trees are too variable for that to be honest.
