We can cut stems for firewood, leave habitat poles to encourage bird nesting, or if required we can remove all material from site.
Municipalities have bylaws governing which trees can and can't be removed. If you have a tree you would like removed we recommend doing some research into this on your City's website, or contacting us directly for advice.
We are ISA certified arborists, offering the highest quality tree care services through maintainig our industry code of ethics and best working practices.
CABLING & BRACING
In certain conditions trees can grow in such a way that they become unstable. There may be a danger of a limb or stem failing due to a weak union, or becoming too end-heavy with growth. Loss of a large limb or stem can render the remaining tree unstable, or leave a large wound that the tree may or may not recover from.
Often there are solutions and the stem or limb can be saved with a combination of pruning and the installation of a support cable or brace. Cabling and bracing is a highly cost effective way of maintaining a safe tree and prolonging its life. It is incredibly rewarding to see mature trees preserved where the alternative solution would have been removal.
TREE INSPECTIONS
Trees bring so many benefits such as shade, shelter, wildlife, noise reduction and increased property value. There are many factors that can impact their health such as drought, storms or changes in drainage due to construction. The affects are often not obvious until years later and then it may be too late. 'Stressed' trees are less capable of fending off fungal or bacterial disease. It is important to monitor your trees and form a tree maintenance plan to ensure they remain safe and in good health.
A thorough inspection from the ground to the top of the tree crown by a certified arborist will provide insight and understanding of the state of your trees, and enable us to recommend effective maintenance strategies.
We have ISA Certified Arborists and Qualified Tree Risk Assessors on staff who will access and inspect the necessary parts of the tree and provide photos, verbal advice or a complete Arborist Report on the condition of your trees.

The list of benefits goes on and on!

HEDGE TRIMMING
Hedges form an important component of green space management and aesthetics within properties. There are a range of different species which can and are used to create hedges and each species is managed differently to ensure that it sustains a healthy and thick layer of growth whilst looking sharp, neat and presentable.
Hedges have also been known to get out of control resulting in lost views or un-happy neighbours. We are experienced and well equipped to work with and manage all types of hedges. Please contact us with your hedge trimming requirements.
WOODCHIP AND FIREWOOD
We take our work and the environment seriously and we always look to minimize our impact by retaining, recycling or re-using the log wood and woody debris that results from tree cutting. If you are looking for wood chips for your landscaping or other needs please contact us and we will add you to our list of chip drop customers. The best thing is you get high quality wood chip for FREE! We save money on dumping fees and the wood resource is put to good use.
When we have to remove trees we try to retain a proportion of the stem for wildlife habitat creation. Where this is not possible we either take the log wood to be milled to be built into furniture or we cut it up into firewood. If you are interested in FREE firewood please contact us and we will add you to our list of firewood clients.
