TREE CARE & PRUNING

Trees give us shade and oxygen while beautifying the urban landscape. Let’s care for them! Proper pruning will boost your tree’s aesthetics, it’s overall health, and increase the safety of its surroundings. Your trees will benefit immensely from any or all of our following services:

Deadwood removal: Reduces risk of fungal and insect infestations.
Crown cleaning: Removal of any crossing, rubbing, dead, diseased or backwards growing limbs. Increases airflow and sunlight within the tree.
Weight reduction pruning: Removal of excess growth on large limbs to ease stress on the tree and provide you with safe surroundings. Pruning 15-30% of the tree’s foliage reduces the risk of limbs breaking during ice storms or windy conditions.
Top and shape: Height and volume reduction of your ornamental and fruit trees.
Clearance pruning: Provides adequate clearance from your buildings and structures.

Tree Removal + Emergency Tree Work

From treetops to stumps, we can provide you a turnkey tree removal service. If your tree is too diseased or structurally compromised, it will need to be removed to protect its surroundings. There might be other valid reasons why you want it gone as well. An in person evaluation will allow us to examine your tree and give you an accurate assessment. If your tree is to be removed, you will need to fill out a tree removal permit request at your municipal town hall. Our assessments will give you the information that you need to fill out this document and will aid to expedite your request. We also remove completely overgrown and unsalvageable hedges. We have all the equipment necessary to help clean up fallen trees or broken limbs due to seasonal storms.

CONIFER TREE DEADWOODING

Coniferous trees, especially spruce trees, can look very unkempt due to a high volume of dead branches. If your tree is an eye sore, sometimes all it needs is a good cleanup, from top to bottom. In addition to looking well kept and clean, your conifer trees will benefit from more air flow through the canopy, which helps keep these trees healthy and vigorous.

AESTHETIC TREE SHAPING

We are equipped to crown and shape many types of trees and tall shrubs. Shaping your tree can help it stay controlled in size and maintain its optimal structure. Submit an estimate request with us today to know what can be done to your specific trees!

HEDGE SERVICES

HEDGE TRIMMING

Our arborists treat cedar hedge trimming as an art. Keep your hedges looking sharp by trusting our experts to maintain them on a regular basis! Precise trimming into the new growth causes buds to multiply, resulting in recurrent beautiful dense foliage every year. Pruning your cedar hedge regularly will also keep them at their intended size and shape, and away from structures on your property. Restore the beauty of your cedar hedges by requesting a trim today!

HEDGE REDUCTION & RESHAPING

If a cedar hedge hasn’t been trimmed in a few years, additional care is needed during the resizing process. If too much excess growth is pruned off, hedges can develop localized bare spots and dead branches, which are both unsightly and damaging to the hedge. Our technicians meticulously prune overgrown cedar hedges back to a safe benchmark that will in turn generate new growth in the future. Get your hedges back on the right track by reaching out to us today!

BUSH & SHRUB PRUNING

From topiary spirals to boxwoods to cedar globes, we are the answer to all your trimming needs. We understand the value that these shrubs hold and the care required to keep them looking their best!

Hedge Fertilizing

Young or old, hedges can benefit from a slow release fertilizer treatment. Our 2 fertilizing options are granular applications or deep root injection. With the granular application, fertilizer is applied just under the hedge’s drip line. This is a more budget friendly application and releases nutrients into the ground over the course of 6 months. Our slow release fertilizer application will encourage your hedge to grow thicker and in a more even fashion. Its downside is that any grass nearby will absorb some of the fertilizer, reducing its overall effect.

The deep root injection process starts with mixing concentrated slow release fertilizer and water in a big tank. Our high powered pressure pump allows us to inject the liquid directly into the soil at the hedge’s drip edge. This process feeds the root system immediately, without loss of product due to run off or unwanted absorption. All fertilizers are water activated, and this process is the best option for struggling hedges that need all the help they can get! It’s also good for hedges that have rock gardens near them, or for hedges planted on a slope.

Factors affecting tree health and safety are often hidden from view. Structural defects in tree stems, root systems and branches can be identified and appropriate solutions can be prescribed. Deep root fertilizer injections and canopy sprayings are other types of tree health care. Schedule a consultation with one of our experts today! An onsite visit is the first step to building a proper tree care plan with your tree’s long term health in mind.

STORM DAMAGE Clean up AND EMERGENCY WORK

We keep time slots available every week for tree work emergencies. We operate in a small West-Island radius and can often respond to urgent work within 24 hours. Trees are a lot more at risk of breaking in the summer months when they are full of foliage. They are heavier then, and the wind has a greater impact on their structure. Bracing and cabling a tree can greatly lower the risks of it failing. If you are worried about your tree, contact us today for a free in person visual consultation!

Tree planting

One of the best things that you can do for your property, community and local wildlife is plant a tree. Not any tree, but one that is thoughtfully selected and trained to grow into a strong structure. Sadly, countless beautiful mature trees are taken down due to major structural failure. Failure in a tree often stems from improper reactionary trimming and a lack of proper training from a young age. We believe in planting the right tree for the right location and caring for it! Contact us today, and let us help you find a tree that is perfect for your yard! You’ll enjoy the colors, the shade and sheer beauty it provides!

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” – Chinese Proverb

Wood chip delivery

A few times per week, we need to dump our truck full of fresh mulch & chips! ! Instead of sending them to landfill sites, let’s re-use them! Wood chips and mulch are perfect for garden applications, those shady areas where grass never grows anyways, etc, 100% natural, straight from the tree! This mulch that contains green foliage will return nutrients to the soil and help your greenery thrive! We deliver loads within 1-3 days of chipping them so the base layer of the dump pile might start to decompose a bit.

We are offering to dump loads of these chips, free of charge to homeowners around the West Island.

This is a sideline community effort we run, and for it to make sense, we will primarily choose homes that are willing to take a full load and who are the closest geographically to our job sites. Filling out this form doesn’t guarantee you a load of chips, but it does put your address on our radar.

Please read carefully:

1. Our truck loads are: 7-9 Cubic yards. ” the size of a car”

2. The loads contain chips and shreds from deciduous and evergreen trees, their needles and leaves, may include twigs, small branches and some unchipped material at a minimum.

3. Some loads contain Foliage (leaf and cedar) shreds that are mixed in with the wood chips and decompose nicely.

4. Some bigger chunks and unprocessed organic material may be present at times.

5. We can not pick up the pile once it’s dumped, nor can pick up leftovers. You can share a load with your neighbors!
