King Planting

Hawke’s Bays’ professional planters


We started out by planting natives for one of our clients – and quickly grew from there. You can supply us with trees to plant directly, or we can source them for you if needed. We complete planting jobs both large and small.

Planting trees provides a lot of benefits for Aotearoa, New Zealand:

  • It supports bees with pollination.
  • The shade helps cool your farm animals over those hot days.
  • Trees provide shelter during harsh weather conditions and keep animals dry.
  • Planting increases local biodiversity.
  • Planting also aids in soil conservation – meaning that your land benefits too!

Our team is experienced in:

  • Planting native trees and understand the degree of care required for planting with minimal damage to the saplings.
  • Managing and overseeing the planting project so that there are no unforeseen surprises during the contractual period.

Our kit:

We have the gear to scale even the most difficult terrain.

  • 2 x Can-Am 4WD's for quick terrain manoeuvring.
  • 8 x Mist blowers.
  • 2 x Large gun and hose trucks.

Our process

We first have a chat with you and organise a time to come and spray the ground where we intend to plant. We use a spot spraying method which identifies the exact area to plant the trees, as well as optimises them for growth and survival. We then negotiate the best time to plant that suits your needs, so you can still get what you need done around the farm or land. Planting is a weather dependent service, so days may be subject to change based on the weather forecast. This will be advised ahead of time.

King Planting is our opportunity to create a healthier environment for our mokopuna through caring for our land and waterways.
