You get specific, defensible recommendations that safeguard tree health and site safety.

Complete Tree Health Evaluations and Services

We start with a systematic tree health analysis that unifies diagnostic evaluation, site analysis, and visual assessment. We maintain records of tree species, age classification, environmental exposure, and soil characteristics, then execute root collar evaluations to identify decay, girdling roots, and ground level alterations. Using chlorophyll fluorescence analysis, resistograph measurements, and moisture monitoring, we measure structural integrity and physiological condition.

We provide periodic evaluations tailored to Sarnia's climate: spring growth and tissue evaluations, summer foliage nutrient assessment, fall root health monitoring, and winter bark and disease surveys. We test soil for pH balance, electrical conductivity, compression, and disease organisms, and map problem areas following ISA best management practices. Our maintenance plans outline proper root zone aeration, mulching depth, irrigation timing, plant health care treatments, and bark safeguarding techniques to minimize failure risk and maximize tree longevity.

Precision Pruning and Canopy Management

Improve structural integrity and safety with pruning techniques that focus on natural growth patterns and structural balance, not just visual appeal. You'll minimize potential hazards by performing cuts at the branch collar, protecting natural barriers and nutrient transport. Start by conducting a thorough canopy assessment: identify co-dominant stems, stretched laterals, and asymmetric growth patterns. Apply weight balancing strategies to balance forces, reducing torsional stress during high winds. Apply selective reduction-avoiding extreme interior stripping-to protect inner canopy, enhance air circulation, and decrease wind load without promoting unwanted sprouting.

Establish quantifiable boundaries: cut back no more than twenty to twenty-five percent of living growth per growing period, preserve at least 1/3 branch diameter at unions, and establish clearance specifications around structures and utility lines. Focus on deadwood, crossing limbs, and infected tissue. Track growth response and conduct inspections on a 36-60 month cycle to maintain structural integrity, light distribution, and storm hardiness.

Professional and Reliable Tree Elimination Operations

When pruning alone cannot resolve structural problems, disease, or clearance issues, tree removal becomes necessary. Our methodical process benefits you, including location assessment, technical rigging preparation, and precise cutting methods to protect surrounding property. Certified specialists systematically remove trees section by section, employing professional-grade equipment, friction control devices, and control lines to manage descent paths. We conduct thorough utility checks, create exclusion perimeters, and strictly follow ANSI Z133 and ISA BMPs to ensure maximum safety.

The removal of stumps and roots completes the operation, preventing conflicts and sucker growth with foundations or utilities. We use grinding equipment sized to access confined spaces, and we restore with appropriate material to preserve the level. Debris is recycled when feasible, and we leave the site clean and prepared for future landscaping.
