Joe has been looking after New Zealand's trees since 2014 when he moved from the UK to Auckland. With over 15 years experience in the arboriculture industry, Joe and the Elmwood Tree Services team bring a wealth of tree care knowledge to every job. Every member of the team is a qualified arborist or is actively working through their apprenticeship, always improving, always learning.
Our mission is to provide the best tree care services to the communities around Dunedin and the wider Otago region.
Excellent job removing an enormous willow tree stump and roots. The guys did a fast tidy job and my garden was treated with great respect and now looks so much better! And everything ground to a very fine mulch and neatly spread. Great communication and follow up from Joe. Reasonably priced too! I would definitely recommend Elmwood.
Just had Joe and his team at our whare today taking care of 5 trees of varying heights on our property. Everything from obtaining our quote to getting the job done was done in a very timely manner with excellent communication. Joe and his team listened to our requests and executed them beautifully keeping the trees integrity in place. They were punctual, worked quickly and efficiently and the tidying up during and afterwards is absolutely fantastic. Our trees have a number of different jobs for a number of different animals, they house some, provide shelter and scratching opportunities for others and the team took that on board to ensure these aspects remained, every cut was careful and considered. The cost was very competitive, we got a lot of bang for our buck! We highly recommend using Elmwood Tree Services for your arborist requirements. Reply: Hi Kate, It was an absolute pleasure for me and the Elmwood Tree Services team to work on the five trees at your whare. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with our tree pruning and arborist services. Preserving the integrity of your trees while accommodating the animals that call them home is exactly the kind of careful, considered arboriculture we pride ourselves on. Understanding our clients needs is at the forefront of our company mission. Every cut matters, especially when those trees are providing shelter, habitat, and scratching posts for the animals on your property, it's a privilege to work with clients who value their trees as much as we do. We're also chuffed to hear the quoting process, communication, punctuality, and site clean-up all hit the mark. Tidy work sites and clear communication are non-negotiables for our team, so it's great to know it shows. Thanks again for recommending Elmwood Tree Services for arborist work! Joe & the Elmwood Tree Services team

We really appreciate you trusting us with your tree work, and we're stoked to know the results met the high standard you expected. Whether it's tree pruning, tree removal, hedge trimming, or general tree care down the track, we'd be more than happy to come back and help out anytime. Thanks again for the recommendation, it means a lot to our team. Joe & the Elmwood Tree Services team
Joe and his team took down a fairly large oak in a day. I could see they weren't wasting any time. They cleaned up and left the yard looking better than when they arrived. No complaints.
Joe & his team were fantastic! Great communication, fast, thorough job. We will definitely be using them for our annual hedge cut. Highly recommend! Reply: Hi Alysha, on behalf of the team, thanks again for choosing Elmwood TS to take care of your hedge. We look forward to working for you again! Enjoy the fresh views 🌞🌳
Joe at Elmwood, has recently cut a third of a tree away from powerlines, they did a very good job. Very professional and I would 100% recommend them. Reply: Hi Sandra, thank you for putting your confidence in us to reduce your tree. I’m glad we were able to achieve good clearances from the lines and retain a natural shaped tree in your garden. Thanks from the whole team!
