About Touch Wood Tree Care
Cambridge-based arborists. Straight-up advice. Quality work across Waikato.
Meet Shaun Willetts
Shaun started Touch Wood Tree Care in 2017 after years working across the arboriculture industry. What began as a one-man operation has grown into a trusted team of qualified arborists - but the approach hasn’t changed: turn up on time, give honest advice, do the job properly, and leave the place cleaner than you found it.
Based in Cambridge but working right across the Waikato and into the Bay of Plenty - from Hamilton and Te Awamutu through to Matamata, Morrinsville, and beyond. We’re on the road every day.

“Shaun and his team yet again did a fabulous job of removing a large tree from our property. They were quick and very tidy, leaving the area in perfect condition. We are amazed at how much it has improved the property - more light and better views. Very reasonably priced and I highly recommend them.”

“Shaun removed a very large tree from our garden, which was also overhanging two of our neighbours' gardens. We were super impressed with how accurately and carefully Shaun brought the branches down. Friendly and professional and reasonably priced. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.”
