WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

AJ Hackett Bungy NZ

​

We purchased a couple of beautiful Western Red Cedar slabs from Rich at Whakatipu Timber for our new Liquid Courage Bar at the Kawarau Bungy Centre. Richard milled and machined them to a high quality. Together with these cedar slabs, Richard cut and dressed the cedar offcuts to make novel swing seats for the cedar tabletops. Overall excellent service and a quality product.” - Geoff Wilson, Project Manager

Royalburn Station

"Rich is awesome to deal with and brings a host of knowledge to the table. A highly skilled Arborist with a range of specialised equipment, Rich has helped us to turn a waste product into something we can use on the  farm. He is great to communicate with and is always fast to get the jobs sorted at last minute! Highly recommended." - Michelle Wallis, Farm manager

Malvern Downs Station

​

"Richard at Whakatipu Timber felled and milled our 100 year old stand of Oregons. He was punctual, efficient, proficient and professional. His quality of workmanship and milling was outstanding and we would not hesitate to highly recommend him. Richard also limbed and climbed our older trees and made a super job. He is also a young man that has a lovely personality which makes working with him a pleasure.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Whakatipu Timber and I cannot recommend them enough. They were incredibly professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. From the initial assessment of my trees to the final cleanup, they were attentive to every detail and made sure to address all of my concerns.

 

Their expertise and attention to detail really set them apart. They were able to identify and address issues that I had no idea existed, and they provided me with valuable insights and recommendations on how to maintain the health and longevity of my trees."
