Tree Service in Westboro

Trees can be removed at any time throughout the year in Ottawa, though one of the best times to do it is during winter. There are a few reasons why this is the best time to remove trees. The frozen ground helps keep the trees near the one being removed in place, helping them stay in place as it gets moved. Trees are also dormant in the winter, meaning they are leafless, lighter, easier to handle and cut down. If you need a tree removed this winter, contact Tree King!

For most varieties of trees found in Ottawa, the best time to trim them is in the late winter or early spring. Trimming or pruning the tree is ideally done before leaves have bloomed. That being said, different trees sometimes require different trimming and pruning schedules. Some trees like Oak or Elm can be pruned in the late fall, while other trees such as apple, crab-apple, cherry, and plum trees are trimmed in spring. In order to get the best out of your tree, make sure you get it trimmed by the certified arborists at Tree King.

Apart from not looking great, having an old tree stump on your property can cause other costly problems down the line. Tree stumps represent a hazard for children playing in the yard as they can trip over or onto it and injure themselves. Tree stumps also can become infested with ants, termites, or other pests which can then move into your home or business. Tree stumps can also harbour mold which can spread to your house as well. Don’t take any risks – make sure to get rid of the tree stump on your property.
