Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.

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.
