If you’ve never worked with a tree company in Ottawa before, there can be some uncertainty about what services are offered and what problems they can help solve.

This post gives a clear breakdown about what you can expect from a tree company when you are reaching out:

Tree Removal Services

The main bread and butter service for a tree company is removal of trees of any size. Many homeowners may be willing to take on removing a small tree on their property themselves, but once the tree is large enough to be dangerous it is wise to bring in the professionals.

A tree removal company will have the experience and the expertly trained staff to manage the job quickly and safely. Rather than just bringing down the tree all in one go, they may start from the top and slowly remove the tree section by section. In situations where the tree is near a house or other delicate areas, this is critical.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

In situations where a tree is healthy and just needs some tidying up, a tree company can provide trimming and pruning services. This helps maintain a healthy appearance and reduces the chances of damage to property in windstorms due to falling and broken branches. Regular pruning will also help keep your shrubs in proper order so that you can be proud of your home.

Arborist Inspections & Tree Maintenance

A certified arborist is able to assess and make recommendations to benefit the health of trees on your property. In their role as a “tree doctor”, they can isolate problems that are causing decay and recommend a solution. Their experience is useful in determining if the tree is suffering from a disease or a pest infestation. The goal is to bring the tree back to health before it is irreparably damaged and needs to be removed.

Stump Grinding

In situations where a tree has already been brought down but the stump remains, a tree company can manage the machinery to remove the stump. If done by hand, this can be a very tiresome process. Removing a stump limits the chance of accidental damages in the future and restores some extra space on the property.
