Auckland arborists who turn up, and do the job properly

Led by Kes, we are a small, qualified crew working across South, East and West Auckland. Ten years in, our reputation rests on the same three things: showing up when we said, working safely, and leaving the property tidier than we found it.

Our story

A local crew, not a call centre

A One A Tree Care started with one arborist, a truck and a straightforward idea: do the work properly and the phone keeps ringing. A decade later we still operate that way. Kes runs the business and is on site for most jobs, so the person who quotes your tree is usually the person who climbs it.

We work across a wide range of properties — residential homes, managed rentals, commercial sites and development projects. Each one gets the same approach: assess first, explain what is actually needed, then do it safely and clean up afterwards.

Over ten years we have learned to take tree problems apart methodically and give homeowners fast, practical answers, whether that is routine hedge maintenance or a large removal over a roofline.

What we believe

The honest answer, even when it costs us the job

Most tree work does not start as a big job. It is usually something that has been left a while — a tree creeping too close to the house, branches starting to interfere, a hedge that stopped fitting the space years ago.

When you are ready to deal with it, you want a team that keeps things simple and gets on with it. So we tell you what the tree actually needs. If pruning solves the problem, we will say so rather than quote a removal.

  • Free on-site assessment and a written quote before anything starts
  • The price we quote is the price you pay
  • Full clean-up and green-waste removal included as standard

Why homeowners keep calling us back

Four things we will not compromise on, whatever the size of the job.

  • Qualified, not just experienced

    Level 4 Certified Arborists. Formal training, not a chainsaw and confidence — which is what tells you when a tree can be saved and when it genuinely has to come down.

  • Fully insured, every job

    Public liability cover on every site, documented before we start. Your property is protected from setup through to the final clean-up.

  • We turn up when we said

    Clear communication, confirmed times, and an actual arborist answering the phone. Emergency callouts take priority over scheduled work.

  • The site is left clean

    Debris chipped and taken away, the ground raked, gear off your driveway. Clean-up is part of the quote, never an extra line at the end.

What actually happens when you call

Four steps, no surprises, and nothing charged that was not quoted.

  1. You call or send the form

    Tell us roughly what you have — how many trees, rough height, how close to the house. A qualified arborist picks up, not an answering service.

  2. We come and look

    Free on-site assessment. We check access, the tree’s condition, and whether Auckland Council consent applies before anything is quoted.

  3. You get it in writing

    A written quote with the scope spelled out — what comes down, what stays, what happens to the waste. No obligation to proceed.

  4. We do the work

    A job safety analysis on arrival, controlled rigging where access is tight, and a full clean-up before we leave the site.

Safety & insurance

Risk managed at every stage, not just talked about

Tree work is the part of property maintenance most likely to go badly wrong. We treat it that way — documented, insured and controlled, on every job regardless of size.
