Tree Pruning
01 · Tree Pruning

Tree Pruning

Pruning is the difference between a tree that lives for a generation and one that quietly fails. We prune to ANSI A300 standards — protecting form, structure, and the long-term health of the tree.

  • Crown cleaning, thinning, raising, and reduction
  • Structural pruning for young and developing trees
  • Selective deadwood removal and clearance pruning
  • Storm-prep risk reduction without topping

When to call us: When you notice deadwood, crossing limbs, sightline issues, or a canopy that has grown into a roof, fence, or hydro line.

Tree Removal
02 · Tree Removal

Tree Removal

Removals are the most technical work we do. We rig and lower section by section, use crane support when needed, and protect everything beneath the drop zone.

  • Sectional take-downs near houses, decks, and gardens
  • Crane-assisted removals on tight lots
  • Hazardous tree assessment and root collar work
  • Property protection: mats, plywood, and lawn pads

When to call us: For dead, dying, leaning, or storm-damaged trees, or healthy trees in conflict with new construction, driveways, or hardscape.

Stump Grinding & Removal
03 · Stump Grinding & Removal

Stump Grinding & Removal

After a removal — or for old stumps you have lived with — we grind below grade so the area can be replanted, sodded, or paved cleanly.

  • Below-grade grinding to 6–12 inches as required
  • Surface root grinding when needed for paving
  • Chip clean-up or chip-leave-on-site, your call
  • Quoted alongside removals or as a stand-alone visit

When to call us: After any removal, before sod work, hardscape, planting beds, or fence installation.

Hedge & Shrub Trimming
04 · Hedge & Shrub Trimming

Hedge & Shrub Trimming

A great hedge looks effortless. The cuts behind it are not. We shape, balance, and feather hedges so light reaches the base and the form holds across the season.

  • Cedar, boxwood, yew, and ornamental hedges
  • Architectural shaping and renewal pruning
  • Multi-visit programs for estate properties
  • Disease and insect monitoring during work

When to call us: For tired or unbalanced hedges, privacy plantings before the season, or whenever the form has drifted.

Tree Planting
05 · Tree Planting

Tree Planting

Planting the right tree in the right place pays for decades. We help select species, prepare soil, plant correctly, and guide aftercare for the first critical seasons.

  • Native and ornamental species selection
  • Site, soil, and exposure assessment
  • Proper planting depth and root-flare placement
  • Mulching, staking, and watering schedules

When to call us: For privacy plantings, shade strategy, replacing a removed tree, or simply giving a property a longer-term canopy plan.

Arborist Reports
06 · Arborist Reports

Arborist Reports

Documentation that satisfies municipal staff, insurance adjusters, and consultants — written by working arborists, not desk-only assessors.

  • Tree inventories with species, DBH, condition, and rating
  • Risk findings and recommendations (TRAQ-aligned)
  • Permit, insurance, and development application support
  • Site sketches and photographic records

When to call us: Ahead of permit applications, real-estate disclosure, insurance claims, or when a municipal arborist has asked for documentation.

Lot Clearing
07 · Lot Clearing

Lot Clearing

From single-tree clearings to full building envelopes, we drop, buck, chip, and stack with respect for surrounding trees, soil, and access.

  • Coordinated work with builders, surveyors, and excavators
  • Selective clearing for view corridors and driveways
  • Chip-and-stack or full off-site removal
  • Tree protection zones for trees that stay

When to call us: Before construction, when expanding driveways or outbuildings, or when opening view lines without sacrificing the wrong trees.

24/7 Emergency Storm Cleanup
08 · 24/7 Emergency Storm Cleanup

24/7 Emergency Storm Cleanup

When a storm hits, we move fast — calmly. Our crew is on call 24/7 and trained for the most stressful sites: leaners, hung limbs, and trees on roofs.

  • Round-the-clock emergency response
  • Coordination with hydro and insurance carriers
  • Hazard reduction and access restoration
  • Full removal once the site is safe

When to call us: Immediately, any time of day or night, the moment a tree is down, leaning, or hung up.
