Testimonials
“Thank you for your professionalism, skill, reliability and friendliness on this job Jeremy. I will certainly be recommending you to anyone who needs an excellent arborist.”
“Jeremy was amazing on our job. From all of his communication and providing us a fast quote turn around (part of our job was urgent with a safety concern), to executing with a high level of professionalism, everything was super easy. He even went the extra mile and came around on a Sunday to complete part of the job that was urgent for us, something he didn’t have to do. Wouldn’t hesitate to get him back again and can’t recommend highly enough.”
“I got quotes from a number of arborists and ended up choosing Honest Tree Work due to their professional manner and excellent pricing. I’m delighted I did as they have exceeded my expectations, finishing the work faster than expected, leaving my section nice and tidy and were just so pleasant to work with. Will definitely be using them again! ”

If you are looking to get tree work done, and price, workmanship and skill are important to you, then we highly recommend that you talk to Jeremy at Honest Tree Works!”
“Thanks Jeremy, for a job well done—my garden looks wonderful with the trees well trimmed and healthy. Money well spent. See you next year.”
“Jerry was a pleasure to deal with, easy communication and excellent work carried out. Very professional and will definitely be using again in the future. I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to carry out tree work for them.”
“I engaged Honest Tree Work to take down five very old Poplar Trees on a property my wife and I had recently purchased to house my son’s young family. Two trees had fallen down in gusty winds and were endangering neighbouring housing, causing health and safety fears. Because of the hazardous nature of the work and location of the trees, I needed the services of skilled arborists to do the work. I contacted Honest Tree Work for urgent advice on the recommendation of a colleague who had used their services. Jeremy contacted me and quoted the job within the week. I was very impressed with the skill and ability of Honest Tree Work to get the trees down safely. Honest Tree Work’s pricing was competitive and the work carried out was highly professional. Jeremy was extremely knowledgeable and adept in planning, managing and executing this work. I highly recommend Honest Tree Work for their ability to handle complex jobs requiring a high skill level and safety.”
“Jeremy did an excellent job for me with work on both big trees and smaller trees/shrubs. He was totally professional in all aspects of his work from ease of communication and advice, to the tidying up on completion. ”
“I would recommend this business to anyone looking for tree services. Elliot was professional to deal with and came up with alternative and cost effective options. Thank you for the great job and service.”
“We have been very happy with the work provided and have used Honest Tree work on a number of occasions. Our gardens have been transformed by Elliot and we have no hesitation in recommending his work.”
“We have used Honest Tree Work on a number of occasions and have recommended the company to a number of our friends.
I can thoroughly recommend Honest Tree Work to any organisation, or property owner who wants professional tree work done.”
We had a challenging situation, a large Copper beach tree was on the corner of three neighbours, and it was pushing over a fence . After discussions with my two neighbours, we got agreement from the tree owner to remove the tree. I took up the job of coordinating the removal having to work with the tree owner and the other neighbour, after requesting quotes from a number of arborists, of which Honest Tree Work was one. Instantly they stood out from the rest, their quote was prompt and comprehensive and gave me all the information to take to my neighbours.
They made the whole process which could have been complicated very simple. Getting agreement to go ahead with Honest Tree work was easy.
The actual removal was great given the fence was delicate and this was a large tree , the process of removal was brilliant, and very professional, and all care was taken not to damage the fence further, in fact nothing came remotely close to the fence. The clean-up was comprehensive and professional, leaving no sign of the tree. The tree owner was delighted with the removal and the clean up .
Honest Tree work were prompt, professional, and great value for money, I would recommend and use them again for any tree work.

About Me, the owner
MY NAME IS jeremy
When I was introduced to arboriculture, I could not quite believe climbing trees and caring for them was a paid job, and not just a fun activity everyone would want to practice on their weekend. I had caught the bug.
I gained my Diploma of Arboriculture in Melbourne while working at respected companies, before developing my abilities further as a contract climber. During this time, I was able to work with world-class arborists, engaging with specialist crane work, fine pruning of huge protected trees, maintaining historic properties in Melbourne’s inner suburbs, installing habitat and fauna crossings for native critters, and even rescuing the occasional Koala.
After returning to Hamilton in 2018, alongside running Honest Tree Work, I have provided specialist contract climbing services to other local Arboricultural businesses, assisting with the more difficult aspects of tree-climbing work. I have been lucky enough to work on some amazing projects, including Crane and Helicopter work, Seed collection in remote areas, maintenance of protected trees, and ecological projects that are preserving our native bush.
To this day, I still compete as a climbing arborist just as I did when I began my training all those years ago. I have won the New Zealand Tree Climbing Championship three times, and have placed 2nd and 6th at the International Tree Climbing Championships in recent years. It is always an honour to wear the Silver Fern as a climbing arborist internationally.
Honest Tree Work is proud to continue the aims of Elliot, who started our business:
Honest advice,
highest quality tree-work,
genuine customer connection.
