Halifax's Trusted Arborist and Tree Service

Tree Removal. Tree Trimming. Stump Grinding. Professional Tree Care You Can Count On.

For over 15 years, Halifax homeowners have trusted us to take care of their trees. Whether it's a dangerous limb hanging over your roof, a tree that's seen better days, or a stump that's been sitting in your yard for too long, we'll give you an honest assessment, a fair price, and get the job done right. Locally owned, owner-operated, and fully insured.

Safe Tree Removal

Got a tree that's dead, leaning, or threatening your home? We handle the complex removals others avoid. Our specialized equipment lets us work in tight spaces between structures, near power lines, and in areas where standard services can't reach. When it needs to come down, we do it safely.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Healthy trees still need attention. Regular trimming and pruning prevents costly damage, reduces the risk of falling limbs, and keeps your property looking its best. We'll assess what your trees actually need and only recommend work that makes sense.

Stump Grinding

That old stump isn't just an eyesore, it's taking up valuable yard space and can attract pests. We grind stumps below grade, clean up the site, and leave your property ready for whatever comes next, whether that's new landscaping, sod, or just a cleaner yard.

Small Excavation

Drainage problems, stubborn rocks, or need a trench dug for electrical or irrigation? Our compact equipment gets into tight spaces where larger machinery can't, delivering precise work without tearing up your property.

OWNER & ARBORIST | JASON SPERRY

15 Years of Trusted Tree Service in Halifax

I started this business over 15 years ago with a chainsaw and a simple promise: show up, be honest, and do the job right. What began as renting equipment to homeowners turned into neighbours asking me to do the work myself, and I never really looked back.

Today, we're one of Halifax's most referred tree services, and that's not by accident. About 90% of our work comes from referrals. People call us because someone they trust told them to. I'm personally on every job site because I believe the person who gives you the quote should be the person who does the work.

We're fully insured, we respond fast, and if your tree doesn't need to come down, I'll be the first one to tell you.

Our Community Commitment

After losing our 5-year-old son in 2013, we established "All because of a little boy," an annual charity event supporting organizations like IWK Children's Hospital and Phoenix House. This isn't just a business for us. We're your neighbours, and giving back is part of who we are.

Supporting Local Families

Through our charity events, we've helped countless families in need throughout Halifax.

Marguerite Centre

At the women's shelter, we adopt 10+ women for Christmas, providing gifts and dinner every year.

IWK Children’s Hospital

Our ongoing support helps provide toys for children in critical care across the Maritime provinces.

Phoenix House

We're proud to support youth services that provide shelter and support for those in need.

He showed up on time, wasted no time cutting down 25 trees, some of them 10" in diameter and 1/2 dozen dangerous trees (hollow, uprooted). Jason and his two helpers worked very hard piling branches in one pile and cut up tree trunks in another. My go-to guy for the future.

Highly recommend this company! Jason was extremely responsive, efficient, and friendly. I had a huge tree in my backyard that needed to go, and the whole process was quick and seamless. I’ll absolutely have them do any future work I might need. Thanks Jason!

I was in a bind and needed a 60 foot long trench dug out and it needed to be 18 inches deep - I have an electrician coming to run power to my shed out in the backyard in 2 days and was referred to a Jason for the work. He showed up and had the job done in no time and reduced my anxiety of not being able to have it done in time in the blink of an eye - highly professional , very affordable and in turn left me incredibly pleased!! Thank you so much for bailing me out - you saved the day big time and it is very much appreciated

I highly recommend Jason for tree removal. He removed our tree with the skill of a surgeon. It was in a tight spot between our neighbors house and powerlines, and had a fairly decent lean on it. He somehow was able to remove it and made it look easy. He could work in a phone booth I'm certain. I haven't used any of the other services he provides but I'm certain with how professional and responsive he was that he would do nothing but an excellent job. I will definitely refer him to others and avail of his services again in the future.

I can’t thank Jason and Tracy enough for the amazing job on my backyard. Overgrown trees on my roof and pool. Looks like I have a bigger yard. He was so professional, great pricing and took all the mess with him. I highly recommend him for any projects you have.

Lynn M.

One of our trees in our backyard had grown significantly over the years and branches were touching our house and were hanging over our neighbours patio. Jason and his crew assessed the situation and carefully planned out the removal without compromising our properties. He has the best prices around, very professional with a high quality finish. No need to waste your time on other quotes.
