Tree Care.

Planting, structural pruning, heavy removals and land clearing, assessed by an experienced arborist who will tell you honestly what the tree needs.

The discipline

Good advice first. Equipment second.

A mature tree is worth more to a property than almost anything you could plant to replace it, and a failing one is a genuine hazard. Both facts deserve an honest assessment rather than a quote for whatever is easiest to sell.

We have an experienced arborist on the crew and the equipment to reach what a ladder cannot, including bucket truck and full tree climbing gear. If a tree can be saved with the right pruning we will say so. If it has to come down we will explain why, and take it down cleanly without damaging what sits underneath it.

Scope

What we look after.

01

Planting

Species chosen for your soil, exposure and the room the tree will need in thirty years. Planted at the correct depth, staked only where necessary, mulched properly.

02

Structural Pruning

Corrective pruning that builds a sound framework: single leader, well spaced scaffold branches, weak unions and crossing limbs taken out before they become a failure point.

Crown Cleaning

Dead, dying, broken and diseased wood removed from the canopy, along with clearance from roofs, drives and hydro. Cut at the collar so the wound closes as it should.

Heavy Removals

Hazard trees, storm damage and large mature specimens, rigged down in sections where there is anything below worth protecting.

Stump Grinding

Ground out below grade, chips removed or backfilled and topped with soil so you can seed or sod straight over it.

Agricultural Land Clearing & Farm Preparation

Fence lines, hedgerows, brush and scrub cleared, ground mulched and stumps taken out to return land to production or open it for building. Building envelopes, driveways and sight lines cleared, brush chipped on site.

Storm Response

Fallen and hung up limbs cleared, access reopened, site made safe. If a tree is on a structure or a line, call and we will advise on the order to do things in.

Forestry only

We travel north for forestry work.

Heavy removals, agricultural land clearing and mulching and stump grinding go well past our usual radius, up northeast of Barrie and into Muskoka. Acreage, bush lots and farm preparation are worth the drive when there is enough work to bring the equipment for. Planting, pruning, construction and snow stay inside Caledon, Dufferin and Simcoe County.

Worth knowing

Caledon has tree protection by laws.

Tree removal on many properties in the Town of Caledon requires a permit. Requirements depend on factors including the size and condition of the tree, whether it is located within a woodland, and whether other protections apply to the property.

We can help identify when a permit may be required and assist with the application process. Requirements should always be confirmed with the Town of Caledon before work begins.
