Our Specialist Tree Services

At Abbotsford Tree Specialists, we’re experts in providing comprehensive tree care solutions. On these pages, we’ll share our expertise in tree surgery, which includes tree trimming and pruning, removing trees, stump grinding, and so much more! We’re starting with a rundown of our primary services as arborists and tree specialists.


Let’s start with some disambiguation: arborist and tree surgeon are interchangeable terms with tree specialist - they all mean the same thing, although individuals may have different qualifications.

Tree Trimming and Pruning


Surprisingly, nature doesn’t always know best! While trees are both beneficial and beautiful, they may need trimming or pruning for safety reasons, to improve productivity, or to improve their attractiveness. We might trim or prune a tree to:


  • enhance its shape
  • reduce the risk of weak or dead branches falling
  • improve fruit production
  • provide clearance for buildings or power lines
  • improve the tree’s structure


Tree Removal


It’s nobody’s first choice to remove trees. Still, sometimes it’s essential. For example, if the tree is diseased or decaying, has been weather damaged, is too close to other more desirable trees, or poses a risk to people or buildings; you may need to remove it.


When searching for an arborist near me to undertake tree removal, it’s essential to work with a team who can safely and efficiently take down your trees and have expertise in using the proper technique. We’re highly skilled in using climbing, rigging, aerial lifts, or cranes as necessary to achieve the best result for your outdoor space.


Stump Grinding


Moving on from tree removal, we recommend stump grinding for many trees that we have taken down because tree stumps can:


  • pose a hazard to people walking around your yard
  • look unattractive or have a negative impact on your landscape design
  • harbor insect infestations
  • take up space where you could more usefully place something else


Another great advantage to stump grinding; you can use the chips as mulch for other parts of your landscaping. The cost for stump grinding is quite advantageous when you see how much benefit this work can deliver.


Arborist Reports


Whether you’re a homeowner or a property manager, we can provide expert, impartial advice on the trees on a property. Our arborist reports are comprehensive documents that contain information about the size of a tree, its location and condition, and any disease or infestation it’s harboring and can examine one tree, several, or all the trees on a property.


In addition, we describe any work required and list the safety precautions required to protect trees and property in the vicinity - in other words, we offer a risk assessment and management plan to give you complete confidence in the health and maintenance of your trees. You can use arborist reports concerning insurance claims, tree permits, and municipal inspections.


So whether you want to improve the health of your trees, revitalize your landscape through better tree management, or remove trees that are negatively impacting your environment, why not contact Abbotsford Tree Specialists so that we can help you achieve the best for your trees?
