Hard Work & Expertise
Our Story
Hubert Contracting Ltd (HCL) was founded from a genuine passion for proper land management. Jonny, our founder, started with a clear philosophy: do the job correctly the first time, use the right machinery, and leave the property in a better state than you found it.
As fully qualified arborists, we understand the science of tree management. We aren't just cutting down trees; we are managing landscapes. We handle everything from high-risk technical dismantling of massive native trees near infrastructure, to large-scale block clearance for rural developments.
Rooted in Canterbury, our reputation is built on honesty, reliability, and hard graft. When we quote a job, we show up. When we operate, we do it safely.
