Common Tree Service Problems in Canterbury
Overgrown, storm-damaged, or poorly maintained trees create serious problems for Canterbury property owners. Trees block sunlight, threaten buildings during nor'westers, and become hazards near powerlines or structures. On lifestyle blocks and farms, managing shelterbelts, hazard trees, and vegetation requires proper arborist expertise and equipment most suburban contractors lack. Finding qualified contractors proves difficult for rural properties. Christchurch companies often turn away properties over 5 hectares or lack heavy equipment for tall trees and large-scale work. Amateur operators use poor pruning techniques that weaken trees, create regrowth issues, or damage property. Coordinating separate contractors for tree removal, stump grinding, land clearing and earthworks wastes time and money. Meanwhile, overgrown trees continue posing risks, blocking views, and reducing property value while requiring expensive emergency work during storms.
