About this service

Trees give lakeside properties their character, but branches over a roof, a path or a parking spot can become a worry. Tree services start with understanding where the tree is, what you have noticed and what you would like to happen, and then talking through a sensible approach for your site.

What it involves

  • Looking at the tree or trees you are concerned about and the space around them
  • Discussing practical options such as trimming back branches or clearing fallen material
  • Handling cut wood and brush in the way you prefer, whether stacked, chipped or removed
  • Being clear about what can be handled and when a different specialist may be more appropriate

Example scope

  • Clearing branches that crowd a roofline, path or driveway
  • Tidying after storms or high winds
  • Opening up a view or bringing more light into a corner of the property
  • Clearing fallen limbs ahead of the season

Suited to

  • Owners with mature trees close to buildings
  • Properties recovering after a storm
  • Anyone wanting a little more light, space or view

Season & site notes

  • Many owners prefer trimming when leaves are down and branches are easy to see.
  • Storm cleanup is often time-sensitive, so mention any urgency in your note.
  • Proximity to buildings, hydro lines and water can change what is appropriate.

How it works

  1. Email the details: a few lines about the property, the work and your timing. Photos help.
  2. Talk it through: we follow up to ask questions and understand what you need.
  3. See the site where useful, then agree the scope and timing before work begins.
