When Is the Best Time to Trim a Tree?
We offer tree trimming services year-round, but winter to early spring is generally the best window for most trees. Here's why:
- Lower Stress on the Tree: Dormant trees conserve nutrients in roots and limbs, making pruning less disruptive.
- Better Visibility: Without foliage, our ISA-certified arborists can easily spot structural issues like cracks or rot.
- Reduced Disease Risk: Cold weather limits the spread of fungi and insects, reducing the chance of post-trim infection.
- Improved Safety and Access: Frozen ground and bare branches make the job safer and more efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services in Brantford
How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?
If a tree is leaning dangerously, has large dead branches, shows signs of disease, or has root damage, removal may be necessary. Our arborists can assess and advise based on safety and tree health.
What’s the difference between tree trimming and pruning?
Trimming typically refers to aesthetic shaping and removing overgrowth, while pruning is more focused on health—removing dead or diseased limbs to improve structure and longevity.
Is tree service safe during winter?
Yes. In fact, winter is an excellent time for many services like pruning or removal. Trees are dormant, allowing cleaner cuts and easier access with reduced risk of disease transmission.
Do I need a permit for tree removal in Brantford?
For most private properties, standard removals don’t require a permit. However, protected species or trees on municipal land may fall under specific bylaws. We can help you navigate any local regulations.
How much does tree service cost?
Costs vary based on the size of the tree, location, and service type. We provide free on-site estimates with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
What happens to the debris after a service?
All branches, logs, and stumps are cleaned up, chipped, or hauled away. We leave your property neat and tidy, with disposal included in every quote.
Are your arborists certified and insured?
Yes. Our team includes ISA-certified arborists and we carry full liability and WSIB insurance for your peace of mind.

—Donna Allerton
The arborist (Nicole) and the team (lead by Steve) were very knowledgeable and pleasure to work with. They tackled a large project on a Silver Maple. They took precautions to protect the lawn as they brought in a 60 foot boom and a crane to remove the massive logs. The drops were well controlled. The use of a chipper made quick work of the brush. Excellent pricing. I would use them again.
—Mark Wickens
