As a Consulting Arborist, I can assist with your landscaping or other development or construction projects.  Tree Protection during construction, or any project, is vital.  Ensure you plant the right tree in the right place. I can help with tree selection, and tree planting.  I recommend to plant native species.  Let's green up Ontario.              

As a Certified Arborist I will meet with you on site and provide an official arborist report for you as a homeowner or business owner!

​

Peace of mind for you with regular inspections; and if required, diagnosis for any plant health care issues.

​

Concerned about a tree at your cottage or seasonal residence, but your primary residence is elsewhere. I will access your property, review the tree, and email you a report.  When on site, I can verify your property is safe and sound.

​

Assessing a tree during different seasons, including winter, has advantages.  

​

Changing weather patterns, more extreme weather events: I can access your property after a storm to assess for any tree damage
