Pruning

For live, healthy trees, tree pruning offers a boost in longevity as well as beauty. As a tree grows, its long branches may become tangled together, which means that they could break and fall.

We will carefully assess the tree that needs to be pruned to determine the best method for trimming. Then, we will clear out dead wood, trim too-long branches, and cut out only what needs to be removed.

Stump Grinding

Stump grinding services often go hand-in-hand with tree removal. We use a specialized machine to grind the stump to below ground level. This will ensure that it can’t be tripped over and that it doesn’t have any sharp edges.

It takes a while to grind a stump to this level and sand it down this way, but it’s worth it as this final step allows you to use this area of your yard without risk of injury. Similarly, it destroys what’s left of a stump that can quickly become a host site for pests.

Tree Removal

At times, an improperly placed or dead tree must be entirely removed from your property. If you have an ancient, dead tree towering over your home, you may not fully understand the safety issues posed by this giant. Branches may break and fall — or the whole tree could topple in a storm. The tree will become weaker over time as it decays.

We understand that large trees can exist in families for generations and that planning a tree removal in Waterloo can bring up difficult feelings. However, it’s often safer to say goodbye and remove the entire tree before the tree causes damage to your property.

Emerald Ash
Borer Treatment

You likely weren’t familiar with the emerald ash borer until this common pest beetle invaded one of your favourite ash trees. A tree that has been infested by the emerald ash borer shows several telltale signs including small holes in its trunk, deformities in its bark, dying foliage, and odd-looking cracks in various areas in the trunk.

To keep your yard healthy, and to prevent more ash trees from becoming infested, it’s important to treat the infected tree with a specialized insecticide early. We can apply this treatment periodically (usually every two or three years) to ensure that your ash tree no longer suffers from this unfortunate ailment.
