Professional Ottawa Tree Pruning and Trimming

Croft Tree Experts offers a range of professional tree pruning and trimming services in Ottawa to keep your property safe and ensure your trees remain healthy and thriving throughout the year.

Deadwood Removal & Hazard Mitigation

Have you noticed branches on your tree that are no longer producing leaves? This is a common sign of deadwood. Branches can die for several reasons, and identifying the cause is a key part of a professional tree health assessment. Common causes include:
• Light deficiency and shaded canopy
• Pest infestations or tree disease damage
• Root structure damage or soil compaction

When left untreated, dead branches gradually decay back to their parent stem and eventually fall. This process often accelerates during Ottawa storm events, strong winds, or extreme winter temperatures.

Large dead branches create serious safety hazards. If they fall, they can cause significant damage to your home, car, or fence, and pose a risk of injury. It is critical to seek help from a certified arborist if your tree has large, unstable, or hazardous dead branches.

Crown and Canopy Thinning

Medium to large trees with dense clusters of branches benefit from professional crown and canopy thinning. Trees with overly thick canopies often experience light deficiency and are more vulnerable to storm damage due to the “wind sail” effect.

By selectively removing specific branches throughout the canopy, our arborists can:
• Prevent Deadwood: Allowing sunlight to reach lower, internal branches promotes balanced growth.
• Increase Stability: Allowing wind to pass through the canopy reduces stress on the trunk and root system during high winds.

Regular tree pruning and trimming performed by a professional arborist is the best way to prevent property damage, promote healthy growth, and keep your landscape looking its best. Contact us today for a free estimate in the Ottawa area.

Canopy Lifting

If you have a tree with branches that hang low over your walkways, driveways, buildings, pools or fences, we can help.

We will remove branches from the tree which extend below your desired height. That way, whatever is supposed to go underneath the tree canopy can easily fit there.

Directional or Formative Pruning

Is your tree growing dangerously close to your building or even brushing up against it? Maybe the tree is growing close to the utility lines running into your house. An extreme weather event with this kind of tree on your property could lead to damage to your building, or potentially knock out your power.

We can selectively remove the appropriate branches to shape the tree, make it structurally sound, and guide the tree’s growth away from buildings or other places you don’t want the tree to go. We can also provide this service for aesthetics if these hazards aren’t a concern.

Vista Pruning (Sky Lighting)

Do you have hedges or gardens on your property which spend most of the day in the shade because of tree cover? Maybe your favourite spot to sit outside doesn’t get that mid-afternoon light, or that one tree blocks your perfect view from the deck at the cottage.

Our Vista Pruning service will selectively prune a window of view in a tree to see through or let light through so gardens and hedges can get all the light they need, and you can have that view you’ve always wanted.
