What makes TreeZone different?

Owner Tui Minogue brings more than 25 years as a working arborist to every project he advises on. With three decades of hands-on experience in New Zealand and the UK, FITEC qualifications, a Bachelor of Science from the University of Auckland and accreditation as a HITO Assessor, Tui understands trees from the ground up.

That depth of practical knowledge now underpins a dedicated arboricultural consultancy. Tui provides Arborist Reports, tree monitoring, technical specification documents and support through the resource consent process, from initial assessment through to meeting consent conditions. He has prepared reports for resource consent applications across Auckland and Northland councils, and has worked on council parks and planting projects, civil works, forestry blocks and native regeneration.

When you need an arborist report or planning assistance, you get independent, expert advice from someone who has done the work and knows what is required.
About Us

How TreeZone can help

Can you supplier an Arborist report for a Resource Consent?

We can talk you through the process of your tree application. If you require an Arborist Report, we will visit your site to assess the trees involved, including their species, size, health, structure and condition. We then evaluate any risks, the potential impact of your proposed works, and the value of the trees to the surrounding environment. 
How do I know which Arborist company to work with?

We can give you the names of trusted arborist companies in your area and you can download our free Arborist Checklist here.
Will you give tree advice for a subdivision?

We can supply your subdivision resource consent application with a professional Arborist Report giving the Council the information the need and require, backed by a tailored planting plan where required.
Can you help with my regeneration project?

Absolutely. We can help with advice on what varieties to plant, where to plant, which plants and trees will grow best together, and we can even work with nurseries to source native tree, fern and grass sourcing.
Can you give advice on a tricky tree?

Sure can. With over 25 years’ experience as arborists, we can advise on how to care for a tree you want to keep, or when removal is the better option. We can also guide you through any resource consent requirements and let you know of any risks or restrictions that apply to your trees.
