Got a tree that has to go? Franny’s Tree Services takes it down safely, cleans up afterwards and gives you a free quote first, with no call-out fee.
We’re based in Greenhithe and our founder, Francis, is an arborist. Our tree removal jobs on the Shore include Albany, Devonport, Sunnynook and Murrays Bay, and we work across wider Auckland too.
Trees usually come out for a few reasons. Age, disease or neglect has made one unsafe, storms have damaged it, or the roots have started causing trouble around pipes and walls. Sometimes you just want the space back.
We quote each tree after we’ve seen it. The price comes down to the size and type of tree, where it stands, how easy it is to get to, and anything special the job needs.
A tree on an open lawn is a different job from one squeezed in beside the house. Either way you get a clear quote before anything starts, with no obligation to go ahead.
Taking down a tree near a house is no job for a chainsaw and a ladder. Our arborists are qualified, and the business is fully insured and SiteSafe certified, with workplace safety training as well. We have been fully insured and qualified since 2018.
Builderscrack customers rate us 5.0 from 279 reviews, across 245 jobs. One Point Chevalier customer had a large conifer taken out of their front lawn and said we arrived on time, were very friendly and did exactly what they asked for. A Mangere Bridge customer who had four trees removed gave us five stars and said Francis read the job well and ticked all the boxes.
It depends on the size and type of tree, where it stands and how easy it is to reach, so we quote each job after seeing it. The quote is free, with no call-out fee and no obligation.
We can usually book your free quote within 24 to 48 hours.
Most of our jobs are finished within one or two days, including the clean-up. We’ll give you a clear idea of timing for your tree when we quote.
Some trees do need council approval, especially protected trees. Francis can help you work out whether yours needs a permit and help with the application. Sort this out before anyone starts cutting.
We can chip branches and smaller sections for mulch, cut usable sections for firewood if the tree suits it, or take the lot away. If you want the stump gone too, see our stump grinding page.
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Call Francis on 022 040 0378, or fill in the form further down this page and tell us about the tree. If there’s a hedge next to it that has got away on you, we do hedge trimming as well.

"Francis did an excellent job cutting down two yucca trees for me. He was professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail, ensuring everything was done safely and cleanly. The area was left spotless, and he worked with care and precision throughout. On top of that, his pricing was very reasonable. I'm very impressed with his service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Fantastic work!"
"Francis and his team did an excellent job. The scope of work changed from grinding stumps, to moving a fence, adding a retaining wall and shifting soil. We are very happy with the end result and looking forward to putting down grass."
"Francis and team came on time and did a great job. He returned the next day to fix a stump and everything was nicely tidied up. I'd recommend Francis and his team."
"Fantastic service. Very good communication skills. He looked at the weather forecast and arranged a suitable day. The service was excellent, the area was neat and tidy, and we were thrilled with the results. We would definitely use again."
