TREE SERVICES
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. All of our pruning is carried out with the health and future of the tree in mind. Your trees will benefit immensely from any or all of our following services:
- Crown cleaning: Removal of any crossing, rubbing, dead, diseased or backwards growing limbs. Crown cleaning mitigates tree risk, and increases appeal and airflow within the crown of a tree.
- Weight reduction pruning: Reduction of excessively long limbs to limit the effects of leverage on branch unions to provide you with safer surroundings. Reducing key limbs by 15-30% significantly reduces damage during ice storms or windy conditions.
- Clearance pruning: Provides adequate clearance from your buildings and structures.
- Structural pruning: Pruning to guide a tree into a strong form. Well planned pruning cuts direct growth by reducing branches that are competing with the central leader of a tree. Structural pruning guides young trees into strong, low risk mature trees that will be a benefit to your property.
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. Our expert team is trained in aerial rescue and adheres to a company wide emergency procedures structure including Job Hazard Assessments and Pre-climb tree inspections to increase safety on your property.
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 consultation

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
The second best time is now.” – Chinese Proverb
We plant trees to a high standard by:
- Beginning each planting assignment with an expert consultation
- Testing planting site soil before choosing a species
- Respecting BNQ and ANSI A300 standards and industry best management practices for tree planting
- Providing inventory plotting in order to keep track of planted trees
- Ensuring follow up of trees by offering Bronze, Silver and Gold level after care packages
Cabing and Bracing
Preservation of trees with defects is possible! Our expertly designed cabling and bracing systems mitigate tree related risk on your property. In the urban setting, trees with defects can make for a dangerous situation in zones with high occupancy, such as yards, driveways, sidewalks, paths and roadways. Since removal of mature trees is rarely an option, mitigating the risk to acceptable levels is imperative. The most common tree failures are due to co-dominant stems tearing apart at their weak attachment point.
The cabling systems we provide are:
- Installed according to industry best practices as well as BNQ and ANSI A300 standards
- Installed according to manufacturer specifications
- Plotted in our inventory software to facilitate follow up
- Inspected after installation every 1-2 years. We include 2 complimentary inspections with each install, and further follow ups can be booked as part of our Expert Consult program.
