What we do
Every job a tree can throw at you
From a single overgrown backyard tree to full removals around power lines, the crew turns up with the right gear: chipper, stump grinder, cherry picker and years of know-how.
Tree Removal & Felling
Complete removals of trees large and small, from tight suburban sections to big rural jobs. Rigging, ropes and pulleys for controlled dismantling where there is no room to fell.
Pruning & Thinning
Careful pruning that keeps the tree healthy and looking right. Crown thinning, deadwood removal and shaping trees people notice for the right reasons.
Height Reduction & Topping
Bringing overgrown trees down to a safe, manageable height without leaving them butchered. Ideal for trees shading the house or leaning over the neighbour's roof.
Stump Grinding & Removal
Our FSI stump grinder takes stumps out below ground level so you can plant, pave or mow right over the top. No stump too stubborn.
Powerline Clearance
Service wires cleared and trees worked safely around power lines by a qualified crew. One of the jobs you should never attempt yourself.
Chipping & Branch Mulching
Everything we take down goes through our own woodchipper on site. Branches gone, garden tidy, and mulch spread on your beds if you want it.
Mulch & Firewood
Quality mulch sales straight from the chipper, and firewood cut from the trees we fell. Good use of good timber.
Gorse Removal
Gorse cleared properly from lifestyle blocks, hillsides and boundaries before it takes over the place.
Storm Damage Response
Trees down on the house, the carport or the drive? We answer the phone 24/7 and turn out fast, in any weather, anywhere in the region.
24/7 storm damage response
When the southerly hits, we answer the phone
Wellington weather does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Tree on the carport, branch through the fence, driveway blocked: call any time, day or night, and the crew turns out.
“Had a tree come down during the horrific weather this last weekend. Phil and his crew were on the job so quickly on Sunday morning. Travelled over the hill to Featherston from Kaitoke and cleared the tree laying on the carport. I can’t rate them highly enough!”

“Had a tree come down during the horrific weather this last weekend. Phil and his crew were on the job so quickly on Sunday morning. Travelled over the hill to Featherston from Kaitoke and cleared the tree laying on the carport. His workers back Monday first thing to clear up the tree, mulching, cutting into firewood and grinding the stump. I can't rate them highly enough! Quality job!”
“Thank you to Phil and the team from 'Branching Out' who worked tirelessly. A quick phone call and they arrived the next day early and quickly got to work. Their expertise, professionalism and safety standards were incredible. It was all done and dusted by 3.30pm. Every twig and every leaf was gone. We highly recommend Phil and his crew for any tree work including around power lines.”
“Phil and his team were excellent giving their advice about our 40+ feet beach tree with large branches hanging over our neighbors roof that required topping and pruning back and still have the tree looking nice because everyone notices it as they walk to the front door. Prompt service, Fair price and polite staff. I would happily recommend them.”
“Have used other companies to remove trees before and they have left the site in a real mess. Branching out left the site pristine and tidy. Great to deal with fast response and completed job when they said they would.”
“While undertaking work on a neighbouring property, I asked Phil when he had finished, if he was able to prune a large tree on my property. He undertook and cleaned away all the branches and did an amazing job that I was very pleased with.”
