Tell us which tree needs attention and what is underneath it. We will come and look at it in person. Or call (226) 546-3814.
We give every customer a written tree trimming quote that lists each tree, the work planned for it, and where the branches and wood will go. There are no surprise charges once the work has begun.
We will also tell you when a tree does not need the work that someone else has quoted. That advice costs you nothing. You can read more about how we work on the about page.

View Stump Grinding and RemovalTree trimming keeps a tree healthy and reduces the chance that it will drop a branch or fail in a storm. Most properties in Paris benefit from tree trimming on a regular schedule. Removing dead wood, reducing a heavy crown and correcting weak growth all make a tree safer and help it live longer. Tree trimming is also the least expensive tree service we offer.
Tree trimming also improves how a property looks and allows more light to reach your lawn and flower beds.
Photographs do not show a lean, a cracked root plate or decay at the base of a trunk. Half an hour on site does. The visit is free, and so is the written quote that follows.
Much of the higher ground around Paris has thin soil sitting on gravel. Tree roots cannot reach very deep, so they do not anchor a large crown as firmly as they would in heavier soil.
Tree trimming reduces the weight and wind resistance of the crown, which lowers the strain on those roots. On a regular schedule, this is one of the most useful things a property owner can do for a mature tree.
Most healthy shade trees benefit from tree trimming every three to five years. Younger trees can be shaped more often, because small corrections are simple while the branches are still thin.
Dead branch removal and storm damage cleanup are handled whenever they appear, at any time of year, separately from scheduled tree trimming.
Late fall and winter suit most tree trimming work. The leaves are down, which makes the structure of the tree easy to see, and the tree is dormant so it recovers quickly in spring.
Oak trees are trimmed only during the dormant season. A cut made while an oak is in leaf can attract the beetles that spread oak wilt, a disease that kills the tree.
Paris sits where the Nith River joins the Grand River. The low ground along both rivers suits silver maple, willow and cottonwood, which grow quickly in wet soil.
Quick growth produces soft wood, and soft wood breaks more easily. These trees shed branches more often than the oaks and sugar maples on the higher ground, so they benefit from tree trimming at shorter intervals.
The valley walls through Paris are steep. On sloping ground, a cut branch does not land where you might expect, so it has to be lowered on ropes instead of dropped.
Tree trimming machinery also has to be set up carefully rather than simply parked. The same tree can take twice as long on a slope as it would on flat ground, and the written quote explains this before any work begins.
The emerald ash borer has been present in this watershed since 2010, and it has killed most of the ash trees in the area. The Grand River Conservation Authority has removed thousands of them from its own land.
Ash trees on private property were never surveyed or cleared, so many dead ash trees are still standing and still need tree removal. The wood becomes very brittle, which makes these trees more difficult and more expensive to remove the longer they are left.
A written tree trimming quote should name each tree and describe the work planned for it. It should say how much of the crown will be removed, where the branches and wood will go, and what is not included in the price.
It should also include proof of insurance. We provide all of this in writing before any work starts, and we are happy to answer questions about it.
The price of tree trimming depends on the size of the tree, what sits underneath it, and how easily a truck can reach it. Height matters far less than most people expect.
A tree standing in an open yard is straightforward tree trimming work. The same tree beside a house, with fences on both sides and a hydro line running through the branches, takes much longer and costs more. We provide a written price after seeing the tree in person.
Tree trimming cannot fix every problem, and we will tell you when tree removal is the better answer. A tree with decay at the base, a trunk that has become hollow, or roots that have lifted the soil on one side has a structural problem that trimming will not solve.
In those cases we recommend tree removal rather than tree trimming, and we explain why. Choosing to remove a tree is a practical decision, and we are glad to discuss what could be planted in its place.
Paris is not the only town where thin soil and river terrain change how trees anchor, and it helps to see how crews elsewhere plan around their own local quirks. tree service in Aurora works a very different inland clay-soil profile. tree removal contractors in Sarnia plan around a Lake Huron wind exposure that Paris never sees. Haldimand tree trimming specialists manage a Lake Erie shoreline pressure a short drive south. tree care services in Burford work a nearby stretch of the same Grand River corridor with its own soil quirks. Every one of these towns is solving the same underlying question with a different local answer.
A tree trimming visit begins with a look at every tree on the property, not only the one you called about. Trees on a single lot are usually a similar age and growing in the same soil, so tree trimming faults on one are often present on others.
We then look at what sits beneath the crown, because that decides the tree trimming method. Large sections can be dropped where there is open ground, while anything above a roof, a fence or a driveway is lowered on ropes.
When the cutting is finished, the branches go through the chipper and the wood is stacked or removed as agreed. The area is raked clean before we leave.
These photographs come from tree trimming, removals and cleanup jobs around Paris and the surrounding townships.
We provide tree trimming throughout Paris, including the older streets above the river and the newer subdivisions toward the highway.
We also serve Glen Morris, Ayr, Drumbo, Princeton, Falkland and the county roads between them. If your property is just outside that area, please call and ask, or send us a message from the contact page. The size of the job matters more to us than the distance we travel.
Call (226) 546-3814 or send us the form. We will walk the property, write down every tree and every cut, and give you one clear price.
Yes. Branches are put through a wood chipper and taken away. The larger wood can be cut into firewood lengths and stacked where you want it, hauled away completely, or left in long pieces. Each option is priced separately on your quote.
Tree trimming reduces risk, but it cannot remove risk completely. Taking weight off the outer branches eases the strain on the trunk and the roots, which helps a great deal. It cannot repair decay inside the trunk or roots that have already shifted in the ground.
For a single tree in a residential yard, you usually do not. Woodlots, groups of trees and properties near the river fall under County of Brant rules. We are happy to check with the County before booking your work.
Probably not, no. Silver maple grows quickly in the wet soil along the rivers, and quick growth produces soft wood that breaks easily. Regular dead branch removal and light tree trimming manage this far better than one heavy trimming every fifteen years.
Ice does more damage in this area than wind, and tree trimming before winter is the best protection. Snow slides off a crown, but freezing rain builds a shell around every twig and small branch. A crown can end up carrying several times its own weight by morning, with no wind at all.
The species and rough height are helpful, and so is your street, because access affects the price more than size does. Please tell us what is underneath the tree, and mark the request urgent if a storm caused the damage. Everything except a way of reaching you is optional. If you would rather speak to someone, our number is (226) 546-3814.
