Tree removal in Arnprior and the Ottawa Valley
Dead, dangerous or in the way. Taken down safely, piece by piece, with a crane when the spot calls for it, and the yard left clean.
When a tree has to go
Some trees come down because they are dead or dying, some because they are leaning at the house, splitting at a crotch or lifting the driveway, and some because you want the light and the space. Whatever the reason, the job is the same: get it down without hurting anything around it, and leave the yard clean.
How we take a tree down
Where there is room, a tree is felled in one piece. Where there is not, which is most yards, a climber or the bucket truck takes it apart from the top down, lowering each piece on ropes. For big trees over roofs, pools and hydro lines we bring in a crane and lift the sections straight out, which is faster and safer for everything underneath.
- Brush chipped on site, wood cut to firewood length or hauled away, your choice
- Stump ground out as part of the job or left for later
- Lawn raked, driveway swept, gates closed
Lot clearing
Building a shop, opening up a view or clearing a cottage lot? We take down the whole stand, chip or haul the brush and grind the stumps so the site is ready.

Questions about tree removal
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
It depends on the municipality and the size of the tree. Ottawa has a tree protection by-law for larger trees on private property; most Valley townships do not. We will tell you what applies to your address when we quote.
Can you take down a tree close to the house?
Yes. That is exactly what the climbing gear, the bucket truck and the crane are for. Pieces are lowered on ropes or lifted out by crane, never dropped near the house.
What happens to the wood?
Your call. We cut it to firewood length and stack it, or haul it away with the brush.
