Hi, my name is Rob and I am the owner and operator of Waipu Tree Care.
I began working as an Arborist 15 years ago in 2003 in a small village on the East coast of the UK where I was born. Since then I have worked in several countries throughout the world, for a range of large and small tree companies. I have experience working as a climber, foreman and consultant, but realised the sweet spot is being able to do all three for yourself.
My journey has now taken me to a small village on the East coast of New Zealand. I have recently bought a house in Waipu with my wife where we can put down our own roots, both literally and spiritually. I felt a strong connection to the area since the first time I visited nearly 8 years ago and I am excited about making Waipu my home and being part of the community.
Tree work is not just a job for me, it is a passion that I am fortunate enough to make money from. I care deeply for trees and the local environment, however, I understand the importance of having the right tree in the right place. I see the role of a good arborist as considering both the needs of the client and the tree, and providing an effective solution that satisfies both
