FORUDUNEDIN Lawn Mowing & Gardening provides safe, tidy tree work and clearance for smaller trees throughout Dunedin City. We handle straightforward jobs between 1 and 4 metres high and up to roughly 250 mm in diameter, carefully dismantling each tree into sections to keep your yard neat and refreshed.
We don’t carry out stump grinding or high-risk removals. As we’re not qualified arborists, any tree requiring climbing, rigging, specialist equipment, or council consent is referred to a trusted arborist to ensure full compliance and safety.
Alongside smaller tree cutting, we offer lawn care and garden upkeep services, including planting, hand-weeding, garden bed tidy-ups, shrub and rose pruning, and weed control. We also handle hedge trimming, yard clean-ups, and rubbish removal, allowing clients to restore their outdoor spaces in one visit.
Below, you’ll find details about our tree management services, including controlled clearances for 1-4 metre trees and selective trimming. Before starting, our gardening team confirms safety measures and site conditions to ensure the work suits your property and remains within our service scope.

Small to Medium Tree Work & Removal

Tree Trimming
Our selective trimming and shaping service supports smaller-scale trees, helping maintain healthy growth and structure. Each cut is planned to reduce weight, improve balance, and prevent structural issues.
Regular pruning improves airflow, sunlight, and boundary clearance, reducing growth before it becomes hazardous. Whether light thinning or structured reduction, this service keeps trees controlled and stable in the long term.

Review common questions about our tree removal services, including pricing, suitability, arborist requirements, and WINZ options. The information below explains how quotes work and what to expect when arranging small-to-medium tree clearing.
How much do tree removal services cost in Dunedin City?
FILL OUT OUR FORM!Tree removal costs for small to medium trees typically range from $120 to $900+ before GST, depending on size and site conditions.
All quotes are tailored to your property and confirmed after a brief site assessment. For a detailed breakdown, see our guide to tree removal prices in Dunedin.
When should I contact an arborist rather than a general tree service?
FILL OUT OUR FORM!If a tree is tall, overhanging a structure, or near power lines, you’ll need a qualified arborist. Arborists handle technical removals that require climbing, rigging, or council consent under the protected-tree schedule.
FORUDUNEDIN focuses on safe, ground-level tree cutting and section clearance for small to medium trees. If your project involves extra height or complex rigging, we’ll refer you to one of our trusted local arborist partners to ensure compliance and safety.
For more information on consent requirements and protected-tree rules, see our guide to tree removal regulations in Dunedin City.
Do you provide stump grinding services after the tree has been cut down?
FILL OUT OUR FORM!We don’t perform stump grinding ourselves, as our focus is on the safe felling and removal of smaller trees. Once the trunk and main sections are cleared, the stump is left neatly trimmed at ground level.
If you’d like it fully removed, we can connect you with a Dunedin stump-grinding specialist who handles deeper root extraction and full stump clearance to professional standards.
Can you issue WINZ quotes for small tree clearance or pruning work?
FILL OUT OUR FORM!Absolutely. We’re approved to supply WINZ quotes to eligible clients who require assistance with small to medium-sized tree clearance or general yard work. Simply contact us by phone or through our form to request one.
Once we’ve assessed your site, we’ll prepare a detailed written quote that meets WINZ requirements and helps you move your application forward with confidence.
How can I schedule the removal of my small tree from my property?
FILL OUT OUR FORM!Scheduling is straightforward. You can either fill out our CONTACT FORM or call 03 242 3172 to arrange your free quote. We’ll arrange a time that suits you and assess the tree’s size, accessibility, and the most suitable removal method.
After confirming the details, we’ll provide a quote and schedule the work promptly.
