Here’s What to Expect When You Work With Us
Usually within a few hours of your call. During larger storms like Hurricane Fiona, we prioritize emergency situations so we can get to you quickly. Our team is ready 24/7 to handle fallen trees, dangerous limbs, and emergency situations. With 15 years working in Halifax, we know that storm-damaged trees can be scary and dangerous, which is why we're always ready to help right away.
Some trees become unsafe or unhealthy beyond recovery. Common signs a tree may include are:
- Dead or Dying Tree: Large areas of bare branches, peeling bark, or no new growth
- Severe Leaning: A sudden or worsening lean, especially toward structures or walkways
- Cracks or Splits in the Trunk: Can signal structural failure
Root Damage or Uplift: Exposed or rotting roots, or soil lifting round the base
- Fungus or Decay: Mushrooms at the base or visible hollow areas
- Storm Damage: Broken limbs, split trunks, or uprooting
- Insect Infestation: Signs of pests that compromise the trees structure
- Crowding or Interference: Tree is too close to buildings, driveways, or utility lines
- Disease: Spreading cankers, leaf loss, or discoloration despite treatment
Depending on your policy and its limitations. If a tree falls and damages your house, garage, fence, or other structures during a storm, most Nova Scotia insurance companies will cover the removal costs. We work directly with insurance companies after storms like Fiona, helping with all the paperwork and photos they need. We've helped hundreds of Halifax homeowners with their insurance claims for tree damage and know exactly what documentation your insurance requires.
Pricing varies based on the tree's size, location, and complexity of the job. We offer free, no-obligation quotes with transparent pricing.
We use specialized equipment, including a compact lift that fits through 36" openings and reaches up to 60 feet, to access tight areas safely. Combined with rigging techniques and years of experience, we can lower branches and sections with precision, avoiding damage to nearby homes, fences, or landscaping. Every job is carefully planned to protect your property from start to finish.
Working with a knowledgeable arborist means your trees get proper care, not just a quick cut. An arborist can identify disease, assess risk, and recommend the right approach before any work starts. Jason has been providing professional arborist services in Halifax for 15 years and is on every job site to make sure the work is done safely and correctly.
We use equipment that's powerful yet designed to minimize any damage to your property. We use professional chainsaws, safety rigging, and careful cutting methods to ensure precise removal in Halifax's often crowded neighbourhoods. For bigger properties, we'll bring mini excavators for stump removal and chippers to process branches efficiently. During major storms, we work with crane operators for emergency removals. All our operators are fully trained for Halifax's unique urban environment.
If the tree trunk is mostly on public land, such as in a boulevard, park, or right-of-way, you must have a permit under Halifax's Tree Protection By-law T-600 before removal. Most regular residential properties don't require a permit. Exceptions may apply if:
- Your property is near protected water areas
- You have special development agreements
- The tree is designated as heritage or significant
We service all of Halifax Regional Municipality and nearby areas. This includes Halifax Peninsula, Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville, Timberlea, Hammonds Plains, St. Margaret's Bay, Tantallon, Prospect, and Spryfield. Some exceptions can be made depending on volume.
We offer a full range of professional tree services for Halifax homes. This includes:
- Tree removal for dead, damaged, or hazardous trees
- Tree trimming to shape and maintain healthy growth
- Tree pruning to thin crowns, raise branches, or remove dead wood
- Stump grinding to remove stumps cleanly after removal
- Hedge trimming for residential properties
- Health assessments to check for signs of disease, pests, or structural issues
- Storm prep and cleanup
- Risk assessments before storm season
Yes. We provide hedge trimming for residential properties throughout Halifax and surrounding communities. Whether you need a one-time cleanup or regular seasonal trimming to keep your hedges looking sharp, we'll get it done right. We work with all common hedge types found in Nova Scotia properties.
After a tree comes down, you're left with the stump. We use professional stump grinding equipment to grind it below ground level so you can replant, lay sod, or just have a clean yard again. Most residential stumps take less than an hour to grind. We clean up the grindings and leave the area ready for whatever you have planned next.
If you didn't find the answer you were looking for, reach out today. We promise honest advice, transparent pricing, and the same care and attention we bring to every job.
