You can trust US to take care of your urban scape

Urban Scape can assist with all forms of tree pruning. Pruning a tree can be undertaken for a variety of reasons and we aim to support the natural life of the tree and ensure it is managed correctly.

​

​Pruning can encourage healthy growth by removing damaged or unhealthy branches and proper pruning can encourage a bountiful harvest from fruit trees. Or if a tree is becoming too large for its urban scape a canopy reduction or formative pruning to reshape the tree may be necessary. Ultimately, a tree may require removal for practical reasons or issues with tree health.

​Hedges are planted for a variety of reasons such as privacy, shelter or to give structure to a landscape. The management options are also varied. Understanding the purpose of the hedge and the species is essential when managing the asset.

​Urban Scape is professionally qualified to give the best result in a given situation. We have specialised, environmentally friendly equipment and hedge trimmers, to attend to most hedge requirements within our urban environment.

Darryl is skilled in designing and developing a landscape concept on site in front of your eyes, laying out the garden lines so you can walk through the spaces. He will provide sound advice on the most appropriate design for your landscape and the selection of specimen trees and shrubs to complement and add value and beauty to your property. Darryl has the skill and expertise to create a sketched concept of your new garden design and will take it through to full implementation. ​Alternatively, it may be that your garden is a little old and tired and in need of rejuvenating to give it a more modern look.

Our services include creating garden beds, edgings, pathways, planter boxes and lawns. To complete your new urban scape, a finishing touch of mulch will protect your plants and nourish your new garden.

​Darryl has extensive knowledge and experience to assess your existing flora and trees and how they work within your landscape. He will advise and lead the work required to allow your landscape to develop to its full potential.

​This may include selective removal of tired flora, identification of new spaces and planting suitable replacement species to compliment the landscape. We have a proactive rather than reactive approach to managing your urban scape. 

In 2019, Darryl achieved his Certification with the International Society of Arboriculture giving him the professional knowledge to identify and advise on the health and structure of your trees. Through a specific method of assessment, Darryl can advise on the most suitable approach to the management of your tree asset.

​The Spider Lift opens up a whole new world of hard to reach places in your urban landscape where vehicle access is limited. It is extremely maneuverable, is rough terrain capable with a very light footprint to minimise damage to your property.

​If needed, additional protection is used on soft ground and lawns. Our Spider Lift is powered by a petrol or electric engine so can be used both outside and inside with no fumes and minimal noise.

Our new 8 inch Forst chipper is a state of the art machine which processes the vegetative waste (wood, branches and brush) recycling it into quality mulch. Mulch is a very undervalued and under-utilised product especially given our dry Mediterranean-type climate in the Hawkes Bay.

​By chipping your waste garden vegetation, it is recycled into a superior product which protects and nourishes the soil rhizosphere. Your mulch can be left on your property or we will remove it as requested
