Expert Tree Care & Safe Removals Led by a Board Certified Master Arborist

Precision & Low Impact Tree Removals

When a tree must come down, choose engineering over guesswork. Led by a Board Certified Master Arborist, we specialize in low-impact, high-risk removals in tight spaces & EMERGENCY RESPONSE

While our primary goal is always tree preservation, some trees become structural hazards, succumb to disease, or conflict with property development. When a tree must come down, we provide precision, low-impact removal.

The Arbor Viridis Difference: Why Certification Matters

Many people assume tree removal is simply a matter of using a sharp chainsaw and some muscle. In reality, moving a large tree near a home is an intricate challenge requiring advanced rigging and a deep understanding of physics.

Hiring a typical tree cutter can put your property, landscaping, and finances at serious risk. Choosing Arbor Viridis means entrusting the job to a team led by a Board Certified Master Arborist (BCMA)—the highest credential in the arboriculture industry.

How We Protect You & Your Property:

Physics-Based Advanced Rigging: We don’t just drop limbs and hope for the best. We use specialized friction devices, high-tensile ropes, and advanced rigging systems to piece trees down smoothly, safely, and with zero impact on your surrounding landscape.
Comprehensive Liability Protection: We carry premium commercial liability insurance specifically tailored for high-risk arboriculture. We protect your home, your neighbour’s property, and our crew completely.
Low-Impact Ground Protection: Heavy wood can ruin a manicured lawn. We use specialized ground protection mats and techniques to ensure that when we leave, your turf looks just as good as when we arrived.
Diagnosing the "Why": Because we are tree scientists first, we don't just cut. We accurately diagnose why the tree failed (e.g., internal decay, root rot, pest infestation such as Emerald Ash Borer) so we can advise you on whether your neighbouring trees are at risk.

When Is Tree Removal the Right Choice?

As preservation-first arborists, we exhaust every option to save a tree. However, a tree becomes a candidate for removal when it poses an unacceptable risk to people or property. We specialize in removing trees that are:

Structurally Compromised: Trees with severe trunk decay, hollow cores, or split crotches that cannot be safely cabled or braced.
Dead or Dying: Dead trees quickly lose structural integrity, becoming unpredictable and highly dangerous to climb or cut without advanced rigging knowledge.
Storm-Damaged or Leaning: Trees uprooted or critically fractured by Northern Ontario storms that require immediate mitigation.
Invasive or Property-Conflicting: Trees undermining foundations, interfering with utility lines, or choking out native ecosystems.

Our Step-by-Step Precision Process

The Master Arborist Assessment: We assess the tree's lean, structural defects, surrounding targets (your home, power lines, gardens), and wind variables to map out a flawless execution plan.

The Rigging Plan: Before a single cut is made, our team establishes high-strength anchor points and calculates weight loads. Every piece of wood is controlled from the canopy to the floor.

Low-Impact Execution: We meticulously dismantle the tree section by section. No crashing limbs, no broken fences, no structural surprises.

Pristine Clean-Up: We ensure your property is left spotless—unless you request otherwise. We haul away brush, cut wood to your specifications or remove it, rake the area, and use a blower for a thorough final touch.

A Note on "Cheap" Tree Work

In Ontario, anyone can buy a chainsaw and call themselves a tree service. But low prices usually mean cutting corners—whether that's lacking proper insurance, skipping safety gear, or using reckless cutting methods that put your roof at risk. If a price seems too good to be true, your property is likely bearing the risk.

Don't Leave Your Property to Chance.

STUMP GRINDING

Why Complete the Job? The Risks of Leaving a Tree Stump
Once a tree is safely removed, leaving the stump behind might seem like an easy way to save a buck—but it often creates long-term headaches for your property. A remaining tree stump is more than just an eyesore; it’s a liability.

Why Homeowners Choose to Grind:

Preventing Pests & Infestations: Decaying wood left in the ground is an open invitation for wood-boring insects, including carpenter ants and termites, which can eventually migrate to your home.
Eliminating Tripping Hazards: Stumps hidden by tall grass or snow are major safety hazards for children, guests, and neighbours—and a constant liability for you.
Protecting Your Lawn Equipment: Shrimping a lawnmower blade or hitting a hidden root flare can cause hundreds of dollars in damage to your landscaping equipment.
Stopping Re-growth: Many invasive or aggressive tree species will continuously send up "suckers" and new shoots from the remaining stump, requiring constant clipping and maintenance.

The Arbor Viridis Edge: Precision & Tight-Access Grinding

Many stump grinding services use massive, heavy tow-behind units that tear up your turf, break gate posts, and cannot get into backyard spaces.

At Arbor Viridis, we combine high-power cutting efficiency with maneuverable, low-impact machinery designed to protect your landscape.

Tight-Access Capability: Our specialized equipment can fit through standard backyard gates, allowing us to grind stumps tucked away next to patios, fences, or foundations without removing panels.
Deep Grinding for Re-planting: We don't just shave the top off. We grind deep enough below the grade (typically 6 to 12 inches) to thoroughly disrupt the root ball, allowing you to lay topsoil, seed grass, or plant a new tree.
Sub-Surface Root Chasing: If a tree has large, surface-skimming roots tearing up your sidewalk or lawn, we can track and grind them down to flatten your terrain.

What Happens to the Mulch? Your Choices:

Stump grinding produces a significant volume of rich, woody mulch mixed with soil. We give you full control over how your property is left:

Backfill & Nutrient Rich Soil (Standard): We rake the fresh mulch back into the hole, mounding it slightly. As it decomposes over the coming months, it naturally creates incredibly rich soil perfect for future planting.
Haul-Away & Clean Slate (Optional upgrade): If you are planning immediate paving, concrete work, or sodding, we can completely shovel out the excess mulch, haul it away, and leave the area flat.
