Tree pruning & trimming
Topping, flush cuts, and lion-tailing all damage trees. Dave prunes to ISA arborist standards — every cut has a reason behind it. Customers come back season after season because their trees are genuinely healthier, not just shorter.
We handle residential and commercial pruning across St. Catharines, the GTA, and Niagara. Silver maples, oaks, ash, ornamentals — Dave knows Ontario's species well and prunes accordingly.
Selective interior removal for better airflow, light penetration, and reduced wind-throw risk in Ontario storms.
Raising the lower canopy for clearance over driveways, walkways, buildings, and sightlines.
Removing hazardous branches before they fall on their own — the most important safety pruning there is.
Reducing overall size while maintaining natural form. Far better for the tree than topping.
Scheduled programs for property managers, commercial sites, and municipalities.
Cedar hedges, ornamental shrubs, and everything in between — tidy results, properly done.
Late winter and early spring — before bud break — is ideal for most Ontario species. It minimises stress, reduces disease entry points, and lets you see the tree's structure clearly. Deadwood and hazard pruning, however, should happen any time of year. Dave will advise based on your specific trees and situation.
