We Offer Complete Tree Services

everything from pruning, felling to milling

What we do

At Complete Trees & Milling, we’re passionate about trees and the value they bring to your space. As qualified arborists, we specialise in tree maintenance, technical tree removals and on-site milling. With years of hands-on experience, we combine our knowledge of tree health with a strong eye for aesthetics, and ensure each job is done with precision and efficiency. On top of that, we always leave the work site tidy.

Our approach is about more than just cutting down trees. We offer a full-circle service that respects the life of the tree and makes the most of what it can offer. When a tree needs to come down, we don’t just remove it; we can mill it on-site and transform it into usable timber. From there, we occasionally craft bespoke wooden products from the trees we’ve worked with. These unique pieces, along with firewood and wood chips, will be available on our website as they’re made.

We proudly serve Greater Christchurch, Banks Peninsula and also travel to Arthur’s Pass, Fairlie and Kaikōura when we can group work in the area.

Live further afield but love what we do? Get in touch - we’re always open to finding a way to make it work.

Our services

  • Tree Felling

    We offer ground-based felling whether it be machine assisted felling for site clearance or directing trees away from infrastructure and buildings with pull ropes and wedges.

  • Technical Tree Removal

    Do you have a large or awkward tree on the side of a hill or over a building? Removing such a tree involves the well thought out use of rigging systems to safely dismantle the tree section by section.

  • Tree Pruning & Hedge Trimming

    Our expert tree pruning services include careful reductions, strategic thinning and effective weight reduction techniques to enhance the growth and structure of your trees. We also specialise in pruning fruit trees to promote better fruit production while ensuring their overall vitality.

  • Milling

    Turn your trees into valuable lumber. We bring our services to your backyard, converting logs into high-quality slabs, beams and sleepers. Whether you have one tree or several, we tailor our milling services to fit your needs.

About us

We’re Ben and Jake - qualified arborists with over 20 years of combined experience working with trees across both the UK and New Zealand. For the past eight years, we have worked together for another Christchurch company, building the trust needed for tackling complicated tree-work .

After toying with the idea of starting our own business for some time, eventually we saw an opportunity and we began to start building something of our own. So we took the leap, with the aim of providing a high-quality, professional service that comes from lots of time working together.

We’re not just passionate about trees; we also love craftsmanship. That’s why we’ve developed our own portable milling setup, allowing us to mill timber on-site and give new life to trees that need to come down. Whether it's turning a beloved tree into usable timber or crafting custom wooden pieces, our focus is always on minimising waste and maximising value.

From pruning and removals to milling and handmade wooden products, we bring a blend of expertise, care and good old-fashioned hard work to every job - always delivered with precision, efficiency and a friendly smile.
