Educated Arborists

We are committed to preserving Winnipeg's urban forest. However, situations arise when a tree must be removed. It is important to recognize that trees can become hazardous when diseased, damaged by insects, planted incorrectly, pruned improperly, damaged by construction, ravaged by mother nature, or simply nearing the end of their life.

We have experience felling massive trees accurately, as well as removing trees that require complicated rigging scenarios. Safety is always our top priority when handling the more dangerous aspects of our work.

The arborist's goal is to achieve healthy, structurally sound, and aesthetically pleasing trees, through careful execution of well-documented pruning techniques. For example, we understand that trees and branches growing into and over top of your home can be a stressful situation. We provide complete solutions that will not only achieve your pruning goals but will also allow for a speedy recovery after surgery. Pruning is truly a work of art that requires years of practice, observation, and ongoing education and we understand that. When properly executed, a variety of benefits are derived from pruning your trees. On the other hand, improper pruning can cause lifelong damage to a tree.

With the mindset of working with nature, rather than against it, we provide solutions for responsibly processing and recycling the wood we cut. Chipping on site is simply the most effective method of managing invasive insects and reducing the spread of tree disease. Also, remember that Elm & Ash wood of all species must be chipped on site as our fragile urban forest now faces two major threats, Dutch Elm Disease & the invasive Emerald Ash Borer.

Another service we provide is chipping branches from trees you have cut yourself. For your best price, simply stack the branches you've cut into small neat piles. Ensure the cut ends are all facing the same direction and the piles are near the front curb or back lane where they can easily be dragged to the chipper.

When it comes to planting, think species selection, planting location and perfect planting. By far the best way to protect your trees and your wallet is to select an appropriate tree species that will thrive in a chosen location. Pair that advice with perfect planting techniques and you will have a flourishing investment growing in your yard. We have learned that when it comes to tree planting, a little extra planning and education can go a long way. We'll work with you from start to finish ensuring your new tree is well protected and set up for success. We'll take care of everything from selecting a high-quality tree, planting the tree perfectly, tree support, tree protection, mulching and a care plan.

Depending on your construction project, you may be required to provide a tree preservation report to the city of Winnipeg if trees on public or private land are being impacted by your project. The arborist report identifies trees to preserve and protect, proposed tree removals, and outlines specific tree protection methods and treatments before, during and after construction on a site. This document is now required for most construction projects, but did you know that for each healthy mature tree over 2.5 inches diameter at breast height (DBH) preserved on site, the owner shall receive credit against the amount of landscaping material otherwise required by the city of Winnipeg Planning, Property and Development Department.
