With the tempestuous and unpredictable Summer weather that we have just experienced, now is a great time to get your trees checked, before the Autumn and Winter weather fully kicks in.

Older trees, trees that may be diseased, or trees that have been damaged in the recent storms will be at greater risk of failing in future bad weather events. As arborists, Beaver Tree Service can advise you on any potential risks from the trees on your property and they know how to spot the signs of decline within a tree and if that tree is at risk of failing.

Working together to provide you with the best tree service in town.

Help a Sick Friend

If you are anything like me, stuck in Taupo with a very good Family of Friends, in Auckland with Covid, so bad that they have had the Ambulance, and it that is not bad enough, my friend in the main caregiver of a dying Husband.

If you are anything like me, stuck in Taupo with a very good Family of Friends, in Auckland with Covid, so bad that they have had the Ambulance, and it that is not bad enough, my friend in the main caregiver of a dying Husband.

How can I help, from Taupo to Auckland. I felt helpless.

So I googled Soups delivered Akl. And OMGosh I found this most amazing site, A Bit Dressy.

Had a bit of trouble getting my order of the most wonderful variety of soups on offer, placed, so I called this lovely, friendly, very helpful wee girl, called Lara, I believe. Seemed I had the wrong postcode for my friend.
I explained how ill my friends were and advised I was trying to place an order. She advised her delivery day was normally Thursdays, But given the severity of my issue, she would do a special cool Saturday, and hope to deliver Sunday. BTW, this was Friday just gone. She then told me she was so sorry she missed my previous call as she was on the ph to the hospital, and her dad had just fallen down a cliff, but she would do her very best to get these wonderful soups delivered on Sun / Mon at the latest.
Well 1 hour ago, 11am Sun, my soups arrived. My friends are thrilled.
Lara, you have helped a very sick family, more than you may ever no. Your professionalism is above and beyond. You will undoubtedly have a very successful business. I will shout to the rafters for you.
Well done you. You have uplifted my very sick friend and made my day as well.
Thank you a million. We need to see you on the TV, you are a star.
Kindest Regards
Liz
I will make many more orders, I am sure of it.
