Expert Arborists in Whitby, ON

A1: The exact removal and pruning process varies depending on the overall condition, size and location of your tree. For the majority of pruning projects, our team will use climbing gear and rigging to access even the most hard-to-find branches and safely trim them. For large removal projects, we will utilize cranes and a 65-ft heavy-duty bucket truck that can handle even the largest trees.

A2: Similar to an iceberg, there is actually much more to a tree that is below the surface. Large trees can have root systems that can stretch for meters underneath the grown, even under buildings. If you were to remove a stump by pulling it from the ground, the unintended side effect will be pulling all the connect roots as well. This can cause excess damage to your property and create even more work for you. As an alternative, through process of stump grinding we use a large machine to grind stump into smaller, easily removable wood chips.

A7: Contact us to schedule a consultation. We will examine the tree to determine if a disease or an insect infestation is having a negative effect on its health. If caught early enough, we can often remove the affected portions of the tree and leave the healthy sections to grown again.

A8: Yes. Arborist reports can be divided into four categories. Tree inventories will report the number, location, condition and species of every tree on your lot. Tree assessments are often requested by municipal authorities when you want to remove a tree and contain information about the species, size and overall health. Tree valuations are required during insurance claims and court cases involving the value of specific trees. Tree preservation plans are often required by municipalities before they issue a permit for a new construction or land development project.
