Our services

Trees, hedges & stumps

We keep hedges sharp, prune or remove trees, and grind out the stumps afterwards so you're not left with the bit nobody wants to deal with. Our tree and hedge services cover everything from a quick trim to full tree removal and trimming for larger properties. Trust Underground Gardening for tree trimming in Auckland, whether that's a light prune, a full removal, or a hedge that needs bringing back in line.

Hedges

A hedge cut to the same line every time gets denser and better looking every year. One that's cut to wherever the shears happen to land does the opposite, and once it's gone woody and bare at the base, it takes seasons to bring back. That's the idea behind our hedge trimming for Auckland properties. We cut to a line, we keep it, and we take the clippings with us. As experienced hedge trimming contractors, we've built our reputation on consistency, not just a one-off tidy-up.

Trees and stumps

Tree pruning to keep your trees healthy and in shape, thinning where it's got too dense, or taking it out entirely where that's genuinely the answer. We grind the stump out afterwards as part of the same tree stump removal job, so you can actually use the ground. A stump left in place is a trip hazard, a nuisance to mow around, and an invitation to rot and pests.

Trees, hedges & stumpsCommon questions

Anything else, just ask — you'll get a straight answer.

Do you take the green waste away?

Yes, and always on the same day. Whether it's a simple trimming job or tree stump removal in Auckland, you shouldn't be left with a pile of branches and debris on the drive, so we ensure everything's cleared away before we leave your property.

Can you reduce a hedge that has got far too tall?

Usually yes, though how far we can cut back in one go depends on the species. With some, taking too much at once means it never recovers, so we may stage hedge trimming across two seasons and tell you that up front.

Do I need council consent to remove a tree?

Some trees in Auckland are protected, and it depends on the tree and the site. Our experienced team are very familiar with the rules, and we'll tell you if we think consent is likely to be needed before arranging anything.

What's actually included when I book tree care services?

It's more than just a tree cutting service. We provide pruning, thinning, full removals, tree branch removal after storm damage, and stump grinding afterwards if needed. These are all part of the tree care services we offer, not separate call-outs.

Do you provide commercial tree trimming as well as residential jobs?

Yes! We provide commercial tree trimming services for businesses and body corporates, as well as residential tree trimming for home gardens. Either way, you get the same experienced crew.

Do you offer emergency tree trimming if a branch comes down in a storm?

Get in touch immediately, and we'll fit it in as soon as we reasonably can. Emergency tree trimming after storm damage usually jumps the queue ahead of scheduled work, especially if there's a safety risk. Call rather than email if it's urgent.

How much does tree trimming, hedge trimming, and stump grinding cost?

Tree and hedge trimming prices and tree stump removal costs vary. We'll never quote your job without seeing the site. The cost of tree trimming and the cost to grind out a tree stump vary based on the size and number of trees, how accessible your property is, the condition of the branches or stump, and any council or power-line clearance requirements. Get in touch for a quote.

Do you handle tree and stump removal together, including commercial sites, across Auckland?

We usually handle tree and stump removal in a single visit. We take the tree out, then grind the stump while we're on site. That includes tree stump grinding for Auckland's residential gardens and commercial tree stump removal for business and body corporate sites.

Do you trim hedges across all of Auckland?

Yes, we provide hedge trimming across East Auckland, the North Shore, South Auckland, and West Auckland, all from our Three Kings base.
