Tree planting and tree health
The right tree in the right spot, and care for the ones you already have: damaged, diseased or just struggling.
Planting
A tree planted in the right place is a thirty-year investment in shade, privacy and the look of your property. The wrong tree in the wrong place becomes a removal job down the road. We help you pick a species that suits the soil, the space and the winters here, plant it properly, and tell you how to look after it in the first few years.
Tree health
Trees that are losing leaves early, dying back at the tips, growing fungus at the base or leaning further each year are telling you something. We assess what is going on and tell you plainly whether the tree can be helped, pruned back to health, or should come down before it comes down on its own.

Questions about tree planting and health
What trees grow well in the Ottawa Valley?
Sugar and red maple, red and bur oak, white pine, white spruce, serviceberry and many others do well here. We match the species to your soil, sun and space.
Can a damaged tree be saved?
Often, if it is caught early. Proper pruning, cabling and giving the roots some room can bring a tree back. We will tell you honestly when it cannot.
Do you do tree assessments?
Yes. If you are buying a property or worried about a tree near the house, we will look at it and give you a written opinion.
