Tree Services Ottawa – Tree Removal, Cutting & Tree Trimming
Trusted Tree Removal Services in Ottawa
Inquire about our professional tree removal in Ottawa if you have an unsafe tree that needs to come down. When a tree poses a hazard to a property, the owner shouldn’t hesitate to act. While our tree care professionals focus on preserving tree health, sometimes removal is the only option to maintain safety and aesthetics.
A fallen trunk is the most obvious sign that tree cutting is necessary. When it falls on a yard, it can cause damage, injure someone, or spread disease as it rots. Even if it doesn’t hit a structure, call your local tree removal experts for prompt service.
While our ISA-certified arborists can often nurse a tree back to health, if an infestation progresses beyond our control, we recommend elimination. It’s always wise to remove trees with excessive damage following a storm.
As the region’s most reliable tree-cutting company in Ottawa, we can perform this service and transform your property in a few hours. You won’t regret choosing our tree care company thanks to our efficient work ethic and outstanding results.

Ottawa Tree Trimming and Pruning
Tree Trimming and Tree Pruning: What’s the Difference?
Did you know that tree trimming and tree pruning serve different purposes despite offering similar results? Trimming helps shape and beautify a tree, while pruning promotes its health and long-term growth. Our local tree specialists tailor these services to the specific species and seasons in Ottawa.
Most trees need trimming or pruning every one to five years, depending on factors like age, species, and environment. But what specific benefits does regular tree maintenance offer?
Improved Tree Health: Removing diseased or decaying branches relieves stress on the tree, encouraging healthier growth and stronger limbs. Regular tree care significantly enhances overall vitality.
Better Appearance: Expert trimming improves a tree’s shape and symmetry, while increasing inner canopy density for a lush, full look.
Protection for Property: Trimming and pruning reduce the risks of falling branches and minimize the spread of disease or pests to nearby trees and plants.
Long-Term Cost Savings: Consistent care from certified arborists in Ottawa can help you avoid serious property damage or future removals, making preventative tree care a smart financial investment.
Tree Stump Grinding in Ottawa
Many property owners in Ottawa don’t see the problem of leaving a stump on their property. However, you should always prioritize removing one.
What problems can a simple stump cause? In addition to being an eyesore, stumps present tripping hazards, attract house pests (like termites), and spread disease throughout the property. Certain species also sprout new shoots from the roots while the stump remains, provided they have enough time.
Roots that grow from a remaining stump may threaten any nearby structure. If they work their way beneath a foundation, they will displace the surrounding soil or pierce decaying concrete, leaving the home unstable.
We prefer stump grinding as our removal technique. However, we offer other methods when a property can’t accommodate the equipment.
Tree Maintenance in Ottawa
Many of our tree services in Ottawa, including emergency tree removal, stump removal services, and tree pruning, focus on preserving tree health and structural integrity.
Ask us about the following services:
Cabling and bracing: If a plant has a split trunk or a slight lean, cabling or bracing could save it by improving the structural integrity of the trunk and helping it heal.
Annual inspections: Have a certified arborist examine your property every year. This will catch minor problems before they turn serious and often saves a sickly or damaged plant.
