Experience Burlington’s Best Tree Pruning and Trimming.

Tree trimming and pruning are both essential to the health and vitality of the trees and bushes on your residential or commercial property in Burlington. Although both involve cutting parts of a tree away, trimming and pruning each serves slightly different purposes.

Trimming is typically done to enhance the overall appearance of a tree or shrub and involves cutting away overgrown branches and shaping limbs into a specific shape. Local Arborist recommends tree trimming in Burlington be done twice per year, with one of those times occurring after the flowering season is complete.

Tree pruning and trimming can also be utilized to eliminate dead, diseased, or otherwise dying branches to improve overall health and viability.

Deborah
These folks cut down a large tree that was situated in an awkward spot in the yard. It was masterfully done! The 4 guys who did the work really knew what they were doing. They communicated the process to me well and were most respectful of my property. Everything was spotless when they left! I don’t usually write reviews but was so impressed with this service that I felt compelled to.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Ddborah! Your kind words mean a lot to our whole team. It was pleasure working with you!

I’d definitely recommend Local Arborist in Etobicoke. After a windstorm brought down my tree, they got back to me quickly, removed it without delay, and cleaned everything up really well. They left my yard spotless, and the price was very fair. Great service all around—I’m really happy with how it turned out.

FAQs

Can’t trees just be topped to make them smaller?

While tree topping seems like a quick, simple solution to overgrown trees, it can be a potentially dangerous practice that can cause significant and permanent damage to the tree itself and the property around it. A better, more sustainable option is called crown reduction, which can be completed to decrease the overall crown size of a tree without compromising the overall health or stability of the tree.  The general rule of thumb is that no more than 30% of the canopy should be removed .

Does tree trimming or pruning require a permit?

Trimming and pruning trees on private property does not require a permit. If you are unsure about Toronto Tree Bylaws, make sure to contact Local Arborist. As a certified ISA company, we know the permitting requirements for Toronto and the GTA well.

Does trimming hurt trees?

If done correctly, no!  In fact, proper tree trimming and pruning improves the overall strength and stability of trees and shrubbery. It is an important factor in the maintenance of good tree health.

How old does a tree have to be to benefit from pruning?

Local Arborist recommends pruning only be done on more established trees. Pruning trees that are less than 3 years old can stunt growth.

When is the best time to trim/prune trees?

There are different times of year that are better suited for trimming and pruning than others based on what type of tree you are dealing with. Evergreen trees should generally be pruned in the fall, where deciduous trees like late winter and early spring pruning.
