St. George Tree Service handles tree trimming and tree removal in the village and out through the South Dumfries countryside around it. Between them, our seven services take in tree trimming, tree removal, dead limbs, storm work, crown reduction, cabling and stumps.
Working in one township changes how a tree trimming company behaves. Almost all of our tree trimming comes back to us through people we have worked for before, or through a neighbour of theirs.
No saw runs before the paperwork exists. A quote from us goes tree by tree, describes the tree trimming intended for each, puts a number on the crown being removed, and records the destination of the brush and the timber.
If your trees need no tree trimming at all, that is what you will be told, free of charge. It beats selling tree trimming that cannot be justified.
Where a tree trimming cut lands decides whether the tree can close it, so ours are placed for sealing. Topping falls outside anything we will do. If it has been proposed to you elsewhere, ask and we will set out exactly what happens to the tree.
We carry full insurance, and you may read the policy documents before tree trimming begins. It is worth asking that of every company quoting tree trimming on your property.
Beneath St. George lies a great depth of silt and clay, with stony moraine draped across parts of it. The result is sodden heavy ground here and sharp-draining gravel there, occasionally on opposite sides of the same street.
One species can therefore need two different tree trimming approaches. Put a maple on clay and it is balancing a broad shallow root plate above saturated soil. Put the identical maple on gravel and it is thirsty by August. Our tree trimming quotes take account of which one you have.
The first step is a tree trimming visit covering every tree you own, followed by a written price. Accept it and we set a date, then confirm in advance where the brush and the timber will go.
On the day itself the tree trimming starts at the top of the crown and works down, rigging pieces out on ropes wherever something sits below, chipping as we go and raking at the end. The changed tree ought to be the only trace of our visit.
The village comes first, along Main Street, the older blocks, and the subdivisions filling toward Howell Road and German School Road.
Further out we reach Blue Lake, Langford, Sheffield, Branchton, the concession roads of South Dumfries and the southern edge of Cambridge. By area rather than by job count, those concessions take up much of our tree trimming week.
Anything on your land that needs looking at is worth a call. Trimming, removals and after-hours storm work all cover St. George and South Dumfries, and a written tree trimming price costs nothing.
Call (226) 546-3835, or use the form over on the contact page. Every service is listed on the home page.
We take on climbing jobs in the village, windbreaks along the concessions, dead ash everywhere, and the clean-up after a wet November.
Slow growth on this ground means a tree holds whatever shape tree trimming and pruning gives it for a long time, so the work is worth getting right the first time. We carry full insurance and take on pruning and trimming at houses and on larger properties right across St. George and South Dumfries.

More calls come in about dead branch removal than about anything else we do. We carry full insurance and take on dead branch removal at any height, anywhere in St. George and South Dumfries.

Emergency storm damage cleanup has to happen quickly when a tree lets go with no warning. We carry full insurance and pick up this line after hours everywhere in St. George and South Dumfries. Where a hydro line has been caught up in it, the utility gets the first call and we get the second.

Tree removal rests on three grounds. Death of the tree is the first. A structural defect no cut can reach is the second. The third is a planting position that was never large enough for the mature tree.

Too much density or too much spread in a crown can nearly always be put right by crown thinning and canopy reduction, without damaging the tree. The two treatments are crown thinning and canopy reduction. We carry full insurance and perform both on mature trees in St. George and South Dumfries.

Tree cabling and bracing is the answer when a weak union appears in an otherwise good tree, and it is not automatically a reason to fell it. Tree cabling and bracing will hold that tree together for years to come. We carry full insurance and fit both across St. George and South Dumfries, and we will tell you straight when steel is not the right answer.

Stump grinding and removal deals with whatever is left in the ground after a tree removal, and it can happen whenever you are ready. Stump grinding and removal gets its own price rather than being buried inside the felling total, which keeps the choice with you. We carry full insurance and work throughout St. George and South Dumfries.

Note what sits below the tree. Flag storm damage as urgent. The only field we truly need is a way of reaching you. If you would prefer to talk it through, call (226) 546-3835.
