Tree, land, and bee work

Gorse, blackberry, broom, old man's beard. The usual suspects across the Manawatū, Whanganui, Horowhenua, and the wider lower North Island. We work with both knapsack and vehicle-mounted gear depending on the access. Growsafe Standard Certified through the NZ Agrichemical Education Trust, with the correct chemicals selected for the target plant and the surrounding environment.

Hand cutting and chainsaw work to clear regrowth, prep land for planting, or open up sightlines. We work safely on slopes other contractors won't touch.

Planting beds, native grass plantings, kerbside reinstatement, mulch, edging, and stone work. Residential and commercial jobs across the Manawatū, Palmerston North and Horowhenua, plus Whanganui and Rangitīkei, down through Kāpiti and into Wellington.

Old man's beard, woolly nightshade, tradescantia, climbing asparagus, wild ginger, blackberry. Some pest plants come out cleaner with a chainsaw or a set of loppers and a precise stem treatment than with a blanket spray. We work with hand tools, mini chainsaws, and stump-paint herbicide, picking the right approach for the plant, the location, and what's growing next to it. Native plants you want to keep don't get touched.

Two callouts we get all spring and summer: a bee swarm hanging in a tree or off a fence, and a wasp nest causing grief in a roof cavity or under a deck. Different problems, different solutions. Bee swarms get collected alive and re-homed into a hive (bees are too valuable to kill, and we check every collected colony for American Foulbrood under our DECA accreditation before it joins our apiary). Wasp nests get treated at the source, usually after dark when the colony is all home. Either way, fast response, no fuss.
