Trees add character, shade and value to properties throughout Masterton and the wider Wairarapa. However, they also need the right care to remain healthy, manageable and safe. Whether you have a tree growing too close to your house, damaged branches after a storm or a tree that needs to come down, getting advice from an experienced arborist is a sensible first step.
At Arborist Masterton, we focus on practical tree care and responsible tree removal. We take the time to understand your concerns, look at the condition and location of your trees, and explain the options available. Our aim is to make the process straightforward, from your first enquiry through to completing the agreed work and leaving your property tidy.
Arborist Masterton was established with a simple idea: property owners deserve straightforward advice and careful workmanship when it comes to their trees. Our founder, Daniel Thompson, developed a strong interest in arboriculture through years of working outdoors and seeing how much healthy, well-maintained trees contribute to local properties and neighbourhoods.
Based in Masterton, our business understands the character of the Wairarapa. From established gardens and rural properties to residential streets with mature trees, different locations bring different challenges. We approach each job individually, with an emphasis on safety, thoughtful planning and honest communication.

Contact an arborist if a tree has dead or damaged branches, is growing too close to a building, appears unstable or needs professional attention. Early advice can help you understand whether maintenance or more substantial work is needed.
An arborist can assess the tree's condition, location and potential risks. They can then explain whether maintenance, monitoring or removal may be appropriate.
Some trees may be protected by district planning rules, resource consent requirements or other restrictions. Requirements depend on the tree and its location, so check with the Masterton District Council before arranging removal.
Costs depend on the size, condition and location of the tree, access to the property and the type of work required. Contact us with some details so we can discuss the likely scope and provide an appropriate estimate.
