Ottawa Tree Pruning & Trimming

We offer a variety of tree pruning and trimming services to keep your property safe and help your trees thrive.

Deadwood Removal

Are you noticing branches on your tree where leaves aren’t growing? If so then it sounds like your tree has deadwood. Branches can die for a number of reasons including:

Light Deficiency
Pest and Disease Damage
Root Structure Damage

Left alone, the dead branch will slowly decay back to it’s parent stem and fall off. This process can be quickened by high winds or extreme temperatures.

If dead branches are quite large, then they pose a real safety hazard. If they were to fall, they could potentially cause damage to your (or a neighbour’s) house, car, patio, yard, fence or even injure yourself or a family member.

That is why it is important to seek help from a professional arborist if your tree has large dead branches.

Crown and Canopy Thinning

Medium to large sized trees with branches grouped tightly together would benefit greatly from this service. These kinds of trees run the risk of deadwood due to light deficiency. They are also at greater risk of damage from high winds.

Through selective removal of branches throughout the canopy of the tree, we can:

Prevent deadwood by letting light pass to the lower branches
Increase the tree’s strength against extreme weather by letting wind pass through. This reduces stress on the branches, tree trunk and root system.

The best way to prevent tree damage and keep it looking great on your property is to have it maintained by a professional arborist.

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.
