Auckland-wide Tree Cutting, Trimming, Felling, and Removal Services.
TC Tree Cutting charges for the services are based on a variety of factors like the type of service, size and complexity, and landscapes. We can charge by the hour, by the project, or by the tree, depending on the type of services and customer preferences. It’s important for both us and the customers to get a clear understanding of the pricing and cost structure before we agree to any work.
Here is a list of TC TREE CUTTING services:
- Tree trimming or pruning: the removal of dead, diseased, or overgrown branches to promote the health and growth of a tree.
- Tree removal: the complete removal of a tree, typically done if the tree is dead, diseased, damaged, or poses a safety risk.
- Stump removal or grinding: the removal of a tree stump from the ground, either by grinding it down or pulling it out.
- Tree planting: the planting of new trees, either to replace removed trees or to add new ones to a property.

- Emergency tree services: services provided in response to emergency situations such as storm damage, fallen trees, or other urgent needs.

Auckland Green Waste Collection and Disposal
Collection and disposal of organic materials such as leaves, grass clippings, branches, and other yard waste from your home. We compost and recycled the green waste into soil amendments or mulch, rather than being sent to a landfill where it can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. On-site chipping and shredding services are available. Proper green waste collection and disposal can help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, while also creating valuable resources for soil health and plant growth.
Collection and Disposal Cost/Prices as reference:
We come with a grinder and/or mulcher, to grind most of the green waste into mulch and take away. The price is for mulching and takeaway. The mulch is held in a standard 1 m³ green waste bag. You only pay for what has been done. Cost is transparent, there’s no hidden cost.
- $95: 1 m³ (mulched green waste, full bag)
- $150: 2 m³
- $195: 3 m³
- $245: 4 m³
- $295: 5 m³
- $345: 6 m³
- $385: 7 m³
- $425: 8 m³
Our price VS. Rubbish Collection
It’s going to be much cheaper than hiring waste rubbish bags. Mulched green wastes are only about 1/4 of the original size.
3 m³ Flexi Bin cost $55 for purchase and $150 for collection ($205). While our rate is $195 in total for fast delivery and disposal, please remember it’s going to be 3 to 4 times bigger than the sizes because the wastes are mulched.
