Arborist Christchurch - Canterbury

If you’re in Christchurch and your trees or hedges are starting to look a bit wild, don’t stress – Craig Trees has got your back. We’re locals through and through, and we know this place like the back of our hand. Whether you’re in St Albans, Cashmere, or out Rangiora way, we’re the go-to arborist team for keeping your section looking mint.


Christchurch’s got a bit of everything – big backyards, leafy streets, and a whole lotta seasonal growth. After a wet winter or a dry nor’wester summer, your trees and hedges can get a bit out of control.


That’s where we come in. You’ll spot us working near Hagley Park, around Riccarton, or even out by the coast near Sumner. Locals love us ‘cause we show up on time, don’t muck around, and leave your place lookin’ sharp.
