Scotland Tree Service exists to handle tree trimming and tree removal from the village out through Oakland and the southern end of the county. Seven services make up the list, and tree trimming sits at its heart: tree trimming and pruning, dead limb work, storm callouts, felling, crown reduction, cabling, and stump grinding.
Staying within a small area changes the way a tree trimming business behaves. Work reaching us comes almost entirely from customers we have served before and from people living next door to them.
Documents precede tree trimming here. Each tree receives its own entry describing the tree trimming planned, the percentage of canopy involved, and the arrangements for brush and larger wood.
Now and then the truthful answer is that the trees need nothing done to them, and hearing it costs you nothing. Pushing tree trimming that cannot be defended is not part of the business.
Wounds close over only when the cut was placed properly, just beyond the collar at the base of the limb, and that is where our tree trimming cuts land. Topping belongs to a different category. It is not available here, and if it has been suggested to you we will happily set out the consequences.
Every tree trimming job carries insurance and the documents can be inspected before work starts. Make the same request of every other company quoting your property.
Within three kilometres of Scotland the ground changes completely, and so does the tree trimming, and that single fact governs most of the tree trimming judgements we make.
The Galt Moraine finishes beneath the crest and leaves sand and gravel behind it, with no watercourse within twelve kilometres, so trees up there live short of moisture and carry little in reserve. Toward Oakland Swamp the soil stays sodden, roots cannot get air, and quick-grown timber snaps readily. An identical species therefore calls for two entirely different tree trimming treatments depending on where it happens to stand.
It opens with somebody walking your land and looking at each tree in turn. A written tree trimming figure follows. Accept it and we agree on a day, plus what becomes of the brush and the wood.
Tree trimming on the day starts at the top and works its way down, with rigging lines wherever anything sits underneath, the chipper running throughout, and a rake over everything at the end.
The village comes first, meaning Simcoe Street, Talbot Street and the properties behind them, followed by Oakland and East Oakland.
Further afield there is Vanessa, Maple Grove, Four Ponds Corners, Boston, Waterford and Norwich. Judged by ground covered instead of jobs invoiced, concession properties take up the bulk of our tree trimming week.
If a tree on your land is giving you doubts, tell us about it. Trimming, felling and storm callouts all reach Scotland, Oakland and the southern townships, and a written figure costs nothing.
Call (226) 546-3840, or write to us using the form on the contact page. All seven services are described on the home page.
We work on big old oaks in the village, on fence line trees along the concessions, on ash standing dead behind barns, and on whatever a hard blow leaves scattered.
Crown volume is the figure that governs all tree trimming and pruning on dry ground, and it is the reason tree trimming and pruning around Scotland calls for restraint. Insurance covers the work. We prune and trim from the village out through Oakland and into the southern townships.

Dead branch removal brings in more telephone calls than any other service on our list. Insurance is carried on all of it, and we clear dead wood at any height between the village, Oakland and the southern townships.

Emergency storm damage cleanup cannot wait when a tree is lying across a drive, a roof or a highway. The work is insured, and this number is picked up outside office hours everywhere between the village, Oakland and the southern townships. Wires in the tree mean the utility is your first call.

Some trees cannot be kept, and tree removal then becomes the safe answer. Every tree removal we take on is insured, and we handle tree removal at any size across Scotland, Oakland and the south of the county.

When a crown grows thicker or wider than its setting can take, there are two corrections available: crown thinning and canopy reduction. Insurance covers both, and both are carried out on mature trees between the village, Oakland and the southern end of the county.

A single poor union does not condemn a tree. Fit tree cabling and bracing and there are years of safe life left in it. The work is insured, we fit both kinds of hardware between the village, Oakland and the southern townships, and if steel would be pointless we say so.

Felling a tree leaves the base behind. Getting rid of it is a separate service, stump grinding and removal, priced on its own so that you are never forced into it. The work is insured, and it is available from the village out through Oakland and the southern townships.
View Stump Grinding and RemovalSpecies and height are handy if they are known to you, though neither is essential. The road name is essential, because truck access is what really drives the figure. Mention the ground beneath the crown. Storm work should be labelled urgent. Beyond that, only your contact details are needed. You can also reach us by telephone on (226) 546-3840.
