Pruning
Cleaning – This type of maintenance
pruning can be done at any time of the year and it involves the removal of dead, dying, diseased, crowded, weakly
attached, low vigor branches and excessive water sprouts from the tree’s canopy.
This benefits the tree and makes a safer environment for people and property in
the vicinity.
Thinning – This type of
pruning is a little more subjective. It involves the selective removal of
branches from the canopy to reduce its density in order to improve light and
air penetration. This can help to reduce storm damage and certain pathogens due
to the increased air flow.
Raising or vista
pruning- This type of pruning removes the lowest branches to improve clearance for
pedestrians, structures, and vehicles, or in certain cases, to improve a view.
Reducing- This type of
pruning can reduce the height of a tree, and/or the spread. It is very
important to note the difference between proper reduction pruning and the improper practice of topping. It's unrealistic to attempt to dramatically reduce the overall size of a large tree and expect positive long term results. Please
contact me to discuss the limitations of reducing and the hazards of topping
cuts.

Removal
The last resort. If the
tree is dead/dying or damaged beyond repair, if the wrong species is in the
wrong spot, or to make way for construction or improvements, removal may be the
reality. As mentioned before, I have certain advantages as well as some
limitations as a climber in comparison to an aerial device. The primary
advantages are greater accessibility and an immensely lighter footprint. Remember,
trees are a renewable resource- we should plant a few new ones for any that
must be removed.

In keeping with my
niche of high accessibility, my stump grinder is very narrow measuring a little
under 30 inches in width. Most competitor’s models are 36 inches or greater. Also,
the wood chips that I produce are quite fine so that they incorporate very well
with the soil. |

Tree care
begins even before the hole is dug. I can discuss the factors to consider when
selecting a suitable species, as well as what to look for when choosing the
specimen from the nursery. All new plantings will be mulched properly and
follow up care will be outlined.

Bracing
In the past when trees
needed support, steel cable, screws, and rods were always used. Steel still has
its place when movement should be limited, but some situations benefit greatly
from a non-invasive dynamic solution. Contact me for more information. |

Mulch (Wood Chips)
I produce a wide
variety of mulch depending of course upon the species being chipped. Please
call for availability and delivery options. |

Custom Pricing Options
Understanding that everyone is unique, some customers prefer that
we leave their property cleaner than when we arrive, others prefer a discount in
favour of leaving wood or brush behind for them to dispose of at their leisure.
I can customize our level of service to suit your budget.
