Wellington has rules protecting many of its significant trees, and working on one without approval can lead to fines and delays. Our protected tree consent assistance in Wellington takes the stress out of the process. We help you work out whether your tree is protected, notable or in a special area, and whether you need council approval before pruning or removal. Our arborists prepare the technical details, including tree assessments, photos and recommended work, to support your application. We explain the council's requirements in plain language and keep you informed at every step. Once consent is granted, we can carry out the approved work safely and to the required standard. Whether you are planning a build or dealing with a hazard, we make compliance simple. Contact us to get started today.

Not every tree is protected, but some are, and finding out can be confusing. We can help you check whether a tree is listed or covered by local rules, before you plan any pruning or removal work, so you can avoid unwelcome surprises and costly mistakes.
Heritage and notable trees are often subject to extra rules about what can be done. We help you understand how these rules might affect your plans, so you know what to expect before work begins on site.
Applications to the council often need an arborist’s input. We can provide supporting documentation that describes the tree and the proposed work clearly, helping your application give the council the information it asks for.
Once you know the rules, the work can be planned to fit within them. We design pruning or removal that respects what is allowed, aiming to achieve your goals while avoiding problems with compliance.
The consent process can feel unfamiliar. We give practical guidance on what to expect and what the council may ask for, so you can approach the process with confidence and avoid unnecessary delays.
Once approval is in place, the work must be carried out correctly. Our arborists complete approved work to the plan, using proper techniques, so the tree is treated exactly as agreed, your consent conditions are respected and you can be confident the job was done properly.
Working on a protected tree without the right approval can be costly, so it pays to check first. Our arborists are familiar with the questions Wellington property owners ask about protected and notable trees and can point you in the right direction before work begins. Rules and requirements can change, so we always recommend confirming details with the council. Contact us to talk it through.
