Taking responsibility to clean up after making a mess is what our parents taught us to do
During the process of any sort of tree job, the work site can soon be covered in branches, clippings, sawdust, leaves and timber. We take cleaning up after ourselves quite seriously, as people's environments are in one sense, their own sacred space. This means that we endeavour to treat your garden with the same level of care and attention that we would give our own.
Creating and growing a thriving garden space takes time, which means that a neglected garden won't be restored in just one pruning session. It takes years of work to establish outdoor spaces that revive the soul. What we endeavour to bring is a sense of leaving the cleanliness of any job site in a similar or better state then what we found it in. There are some exceptions, for instance, where jobs require all trees to be removed, and new building and landscaping works are proposed.
We do our best to remove any valuables on site, such as potted plants, statues, seating arrangements or clothes lines in order to minimise damage. Upon finishing the tree work, we place all belongings back to their original spots and we do a thorough job to clean the site prior to us leaving. One of the most consistent comments we receive in our post-work satisfaction surveys is that our team took the time to ensure that the site was left in a neat and presentable manner.
Hive has trimmed our very tall cypress hedge for two years now – a major task. Most organisations take one look at the work and walk away. The hedge is adjacent to a swimming pool which requires planks to be put across the pool to work on the hedge, which appears to be too much effort for most people. Based on this experience, I would say Hive are true professionals. Hive arrives on time and does the work efficiently. They clean up very well, mulching what's been pruned and removing all the mulch. Their workers are very polite and helpful. Hive has also done some tree removal for us at another property, which was done very well. Hive's prices are reasonable for the work they do. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Leaving a clean site is like finishing a race well
Once the tree-cutting, pruning or hedging process has been completed, all of the material is processed through our woodchipper or mulcher. There may be some firewood to consider leaving, moving to the nature strip, or removing from the site. The tree stumps are cut down to ground level, ready for stump-grinding or for removal to be scheduled. It is at this stage of the process that we are near the end of the job. Our team will typically start bringing out the wheelbarrows and the garden rakes at this point. Depending on the particulars of the site, the client, and the request from the client, we get to work to return to the site a sense of normality, functionality and cleanliness.
We are passionate about listening to our clients' dreams, and helping them create garden spaces that are safe, functional and beautiful.
