At Forest Tree Services, we specialize in professional tree pruning in Ottawa and the surrounding areas.

Tree pruning isn’t just about appearances—it’s a vital part of tree maintenance that improves health, supports growth, and protects your property.

Why Tree Pruning is Essential

Tree pruning is the selective removal of specific branches or stems to benefit the whole tree. Over time, trees can become overgrown, unbalanced, or hazardous. Without proper pruning, they are more susceptible to disease, storm damage, and even structural failure. Here’s why pruning should be a regular part of your tree care routine:

Promotes Healthy Growth

Removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches allows trees to focus their energy on healthy growth.

Improves Tree Structure

Strategic pruning helps young trees develop strong, well-spaced branches that reduce the risk of future breakage.

Enhances Aesthetics

Pruning improves a tree's shape and appearance, making your landscape look well-maintained and attractive.

Increases Sunlight Penetration

Pruned trees allow more light to reach your lawn or garden, benefiting the overall ecosystem.

Our Tree Pruning Process

At Forest Tree Services, we tailor every pruning job to the unique needs of your tree and property. Here’s what you can expect when you hire our Ottawa tree pruning experts:

Tree Assessment

We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your tree’s health, species, age, and location. This helps us determine the right pruning method and schedule.

Customized Pruning Plan

Customized Pruning Plan Depending on the tree’s needs, we use one or more of the following techniques:
  • Crown Thinning: Removing select branches to allow light and air circulation.
  • Crown Raising: Lifting lower branches for better clearance and visibility.
  • Crown Reduction: Reducing the size of a tree while preserving its natural shape.
  • Deadwooding: Eliminating dead or dying limbs that pose safety hazards.

Precision Execution

Our team uses modern climbing techniques and professional-grade tools to ensure each cut is clean and beneficial.

Clean-Up and Disposal

Once the job is done, we remove all debris and leave your property spotless. You can even request that we mulch the pruned branches for your garden beds.

Seasonal Tree Pruning in Ottawa

Ottawa’s unique climate means tree pruning should be timed carefully. Our experts recommend pruning during dormancy (late winter to early spring) for most species, as this encourages vigorous spring growth and reduces the risk of disease. However, certain trees benefit from summer or fall pruning. We’ll guide you on the best time for each type of tree on your property.

Residential & Commercial Tree Pruning

Whether you’re a homeowner with a backyard full of maples or a commercial property manager with ornamental trees lining your parking lot, Forest Tree Services has the team to handle it. We’re fully insured and experienced in both residential and commercial tree pruning projects.
