[ 01 — The person behind the business ]

Meet Justin, owner and lead arborist

I have spent more than twelve years working in trees, and I still love it. Somewhere along the way, tree work stopped being a job and became a craft: reading a tree, planning every cut, and bringing it down safely piece by piece, even at height or in the wind.

Tree Tenders Northland was founded with a simple goal: to provide safe, professional, and reliable tree care services that property owners can trust. As a locally owned and operated business, I take pride in delivering high-quality workmanship, honest advice, and fair pricing on every job.

Whether it's pruning a single tree, reducing a shelterbelt, maintaining hedges, or carrying out a complex tree removal, I approach every project with the same focus on safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

When you choose Tree Tenders Northland, you're dealing directly with the owner from quote to completion. I believe in clear communication, turning up when I say I will, and leaving every site clean and tidy.

“It's a pleasure to watch Justin work. He's calm, efficient and clearly an expert in his craft.”

Justin is a master at his craft. Every movement, cut and drop is controlled and intentional. It's inspiring watching him work despite being in high wind, at heights and around power.

Awesome job recovering a couple of treed drones. With a late end-of-day call, Justin was on site ready to handle the situation with incredible professionalism. The cost was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind and successful retrieval.
