- Municipal tree removal bylaws. Before you remove a tree on your residential or commercial property, you need to be up-to-speed on the bylaws governing tree removals in your municipality. Some cities and towns have strict tree removal bylaws and regulations that apply to any tree planted on private or public property or near a ravine. Be in the know
- Arborist reports for Construction Projects. Construction and Landscaping projects often require an arborist report. Our team of Arborists can work with you directly or with your contractors. Our expert staff will help to ensure your project is completed and your trees remain healthy while meeting the requirements of your municipality. These requirements are unique to the municipality in which the work is to be performed. Learn more
- Ontario pesticide bylaws. In Ontario, you must be licensed to apply pesticides to any private, public, or commercial property, or operate a business that employs people who apply pesticides commercially. A municipal permit is required to use pesticides that may pose risks to human and environmental health. Be prepared
- Tree and shrub assessments. Conducting professional tree and shrub inventories and appraisals are critical to determining the true health of the plants on your property. Our ISA-certified arborists produce in-depth, tailored assessments of your trees and shrubs to ensure their short- and long-term health. Take stock of your trees
