Hardfell Achieves NZARB Registered Master Arborist, Tōtika, and SiteWise Gold Accreditation

Meta Description (for WordPress SEO):
Hardfell Ltd – Auckland’s trusted arborists – have achieved NZARB Registered Master Arborist status, Tōtika Prequalification, and SiteWise Gold. Discover what these accreditations mean for safety, quality, and professionalism in tree work across Auckland.


Setting the Standard for Professional Tree Work in Auckland

We’re proud to announce that Hardfell Ltd has officially achieved NZARB Registered Master Arborist, Tōtika Prequalification, and SiteWise Gold accreditation — three of the highest recognitions in New Zealand’s arboricultural and health & safety industries.

These achievements reinforce our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality, and professional tree services across Auckland, from residential pruning and removals to large-scale commercial vegetation management.


Registered Master Arborist – The Benchmark of Excellence

Becoming a Registered Master Arborist (RMANZ) through the New Zealand Arboricultural Association (NZARB) is no small feat. Only a select few Auckland companies hold this title, and it represents the pinnacle of arboricultural professionalism.

To achieve RMANZ status, a company must demonstrate:

  • Qualified and experienced arborists with proven technical expertise
  • Robust health & safety and environmental systems
  • Consistent, high-quality workmanship and ethical standards
  • Verified customer satisfaction and professional conduct

For our clients, it means confidence. Every Hardfell job is completed to the highest professional standard, with qualified arborists who truly understand tree health, structure, and safety.


Tōtika Prequalification – Proven Safety and Compliance

Our Tōtika certification shows that Hardfell meets national prequalification standards for health, safety, and quality management. Recognised across government and industry, Tōtika simplifies prequalification so clients can trust that we’re independently verified to work safely and responsibly.

This covers key areas such as:

  • Risk management and incident prevention
  • Employee training and competency verification
  • Environmental responsibility and continuous improvement

In short — our systems are not only compliant, but exceed industry requirements for safety and reliability.


SiteWise Gold – Verified Health and Safety Leadership

We’re also proud holders of SiteWise Gold, awarded to businesses achieving 90% or higher in SiteWise’s annual safety assessment. This independent certification confirms that our health & safety systems are among the best in New Zealand.

Our SiteWise Gold status gives clients confidence that:

  • We’re audited annually by SiteWise NZ
  • Our safety systems are documented, active, and reviewed
  • We maintain a proactive culture of care for staff, clients, and the community

Why This Matters for Our Clients

For you — our customers — these accreditations mean you’re hiring an arborist who values:
Safety first on every site
Quality workmanship by trained professionals
Environmental responsibility in every project
Trust and transparency through verified national standards

From tree removal and pruning to storm damage response and vegetation management, Hardfell stands out as a trusted, accredited, and community-focused arborist team serving Auckland’s North-West and beyond.
