"Prompt quote from Doug for quite a lot of pruning for large trees around house. Three young fellas came and worked very hard, nothing was too much trouble and they checked regularly that the right amount was taken off. They were polite and lovely to have around. Clean up afterwards was exceptionally good. We highly recommend DS Trees."

"We have been using DS Tree Services to trim the trees and hedge along our back boundary for many years. We last had them here on Monday 5 May 2025. The office provides quotes and confirms scheduled time and dates for works and the texts when the arborists are on their way. They go out of their way to accomodate you, work quickly and efficiently and remove all the rubbish and tidy up once finished. There pricing is also very competitive and we are more than happy to recommend this company."

"Another great experience with the DS Trees team. There was fast and excellent communication with Lucy, who does the scheduling. Very professional and knowledgeable same-day quoting from Kain who came out to have a look. Then the two guys who came out to trim our palm trees and cut down a dead pittosporum - Tyrone and Matt - were excellent at communicating, the cutting/trimming and cleaning up afterwards. This the second time we’ve used DS Trees and will continue to do so."

They even 'found' a small plant amongst a hedge of Port Wine berry and carefully worked around it during the removal and stump grinding.

The task was made difficult by "butchers" who had hacked at the trees on a previous occasion. D.S.Trees have done a magnificent job in getting the trees back to what they should be. They left leaving the place nice and tidy unlike some we have had in the past. We will be using D.S.Trees for all our future requirements now. Thank you guys."

I was very satisfied with the work, workers and the pricing on that occasion and I was pleased to discover when they worked again for me recently, that they are still, in my opinion, the best tree company in Auckland. Over the years I've used a number of Companies having lived in areas where tree work was required frequently. It wasn't as big a job on this occasion - the removal of a Strelitzia nicolai and also the trunks of some vines that had become embedded in a fence but access was still difficult. They handled it all with speed and professionalism. I will certainly use them again if required and continue to recommend them to others."

"DS trees provided the best price and their services were truly excellent. We had some interesting quotes ranging up to $2000 for the same job that DS Trees were able to do for less than 1/3 of the price. They don't spare men power for a small job: three men came for one not-so-big silk tree which I appreciated greatly. They got the tree down promptly and did an amazing job getting rid of the stump and any visible roots. Hassle free, no fuss. They were at our house only two days after the payment. Although they were quite slow responding to emails and communicating when and if the stump will be done, I was overjoyed with overall result that the lack of communication wasn't much of an issue in the end but I understood why they didn't get 100% in their reviews. I think if the review were to be done solely on the quality of the job delivered, I would've been more than happy to have given then 150%. I will definitely be using them again in the future."

"Doug and his team have carried out pruning, clearance and chipping work for us at least 10 times over the last five years. We do get second quotes, every time Doug beats them hands down. The team are always cheerful, happy to do extra work if need be, do the job well, and always clean up afterwards. This time we twice had problems with access, DS Trees took it in their stride and deferred the work until we were ready. Have referred several of our neighbours to Doug, each time they have been very happy with the pricing and service."

"Doug from DS Trees came promptly when asked for a quote. He was knowledgeable about trees and gave pertinent advice. His quote was better priced than another highly rated tree company. We understandably had to wait a few weeks for the work because he is in demand and the weather has been poor. On the morning of the job, one of his crew came and walked around our home, double checking they understood the written quote correctly and knew exactly which trees to chop and which to leave alone. The job was done while I was at work. I was delighted on arriving home to see how much smarter our garden looks! The place was left very tidy. Our 2 neighbours spoke to him while he was here about work too. Seems DS Trees is quickly recognised for the good job they do."

"This Company are awesome. They are friendly, they turned up as promised, gave a really good quote, and did the job perfectly. They then removed another stump, removed a couple of trees, then returned to take all the tree rubbish away, as well as a pile of ours that we were taking to the tip, all for no extra! Then to top it all off they dropped off a truck load of mulch. I was blown away. Its not often you get service like that. I highly recommend them."

"We have just had Doug and the guys over to cut down an old popular tree and an absolutely huge eucalyptus tree in our back yard. The eucalyptus was at least 6 stories high, and quite close to neighboring houses. The removal was effected with absolutely no problems, and no damage to fences etc. The section was left in a tidy state, with the wood we wanted kept for us piled neatly. Dad and I really enjoyed having the guys here, they were polite and efficient, and got on with their work in a timely and efficient manner. The work was done when Doug said it would be as well. After seeing Doug's team handle our tree, I can confidently say that no job is too big for them. But alongside that, we had Doug over to do a much smaller job some years ago, and he was as happy and obliging with a smaller task, as he has been with this large job. Both times, Dad and I were very happy with the reasonable price as well. I highly recommend Doug, and his guys, you won't find a better team."
