Without proper shelterbelt maintenance, trees can quickly reach unmanageable heights. An out of control shelterbelt can block out sunlight for your orchard, cause damage to your orchard structure, be a health and safety issue for workers or restrict an otherwise picturesque view. At Tree Control, we ensure that each member of our team is well trained and experienced in safe tree removal. We take extra care to keep your property safe while we work and are able to work on tall trees and small spaces without any risk of damaging any buildings or assets.

NEED TREE TOPPING AND SHELTERBELT REMOVAL?

At Tree Control, we are experts at shelter belt maintenance, tree topping and orchard tree services. With our expertise, we know just how important it is for orchards to have shelterbelts at the standard height in order for enough sunlight to shine down on the fruit. We even offer full tree chipping services, so no tops or removed trees go to waste. They can be turned into quality chips or mulch to spread over your orchard or garden.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between shelterbelt trimming and topping?

Shelterbelt topping is a controlled-height reduction service used to bring tall or out-of-control trees back to a standard maintenance height. While regular trimming typically manages the sides and light growth, our specialised topping machinery is used to reduce the vertical height of trees that have become too large for traditional tractor-based units.

Why do shelterbelts need topping or trimming?

Topping and trimming are essential to prevent shelterbelts from becoming hazardous or blocking vital sunlight from your property and orchards. Maintaining a manageable height ensures the trees remain healthy and makes future maintenance significantly more efficient and cost-effective.

How high can you top a shelterbelt?

We can top shelterbelts up to 30 metres high using our specialised telescoping boom lifts. This world-class machinery allows our team to provide precise, controlled height reduction for even the tallest and most unruly shelterbelts that other arborists cannot reach.

Do you service Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty?

Yes, we provide specialist shelterbelt services throughout Tauranga, the Bay of Plenty, and the Manawatu region. Our team is equipped to handle both large-scale rural projects and residential shelterbelts across these areas, including work on tricky terrain and slopes.

When is the best time to trim a shelterbelt?

Regular trimming is often done outside the main growth period to help manage tree health and reduce stress. Your arborist can advise on the best timing based on your specific shelterbelt species and growing conditions.

How often should a shelterbelt be trimmed?

Shelterbelts benefit from regular maintenance, and the ideal frequency depends on species and growth rate. Regular trimming helps keep belts manageable and reduces the need for more extensive work later.

Do you chip or remove the branches after trimming?

We provide a total package service that uses large-scale chippers to reduce all tree debris into premium organic wood chips. Your site is left tidy and professional, and you can choose to keep the chips to enrich your garden or have us remove them entirely.

How much does shelterbelt topping cost in Tauranga?

The cost of shelterbelt topping depends on the length of the belt, the height of the trees, and the terrain. We provide expert on-site assessments to ensure you receive a timely, accurate quote tailored to your project’s specific requirements.
