FAQs
Timber Tree Removal
Do you provide both tree and landscaping services?
We specialize exclusively in trees! Unlike some companies that offer both services, we believe in mastering one trade rather than being a jack of all trades. Our tree technicians are fully trained in all aspects of tree care and equipped with the right tools to ensure the job is done accurately the first time. As indicated on our website, we offer tree removal, tree pruning, stump grinding, and comprehensive tree maintenance and care.
What city do you operate in and what areas do you serve?
We are a local tree company based in Winnipeg. While we primarily serve the city of Winnipeg, we also extend our services to surrounding areas including Headingley, East St. Paul, West St. Paul, Oak Bluff, La Salle, Selkirk and beyond.
What options do you provide for tree disposal?
When requesting a quote from a tree service company, it’s important to ask if tree disposal is included. Disposal can be through a wood chipper or cut into logs for the fireplace.
When is the ideal time for tree pruning or removal?
Besides seasonal considerations, other factors affect the timing of tree pruning or removal. We recommend consulting an ISA certified arborist at Timber Tree Removal so we can provide a free assessment. Call 204 471 2618.
What guarantees can you offer that the job will be finished on time and on budget?
We understand that the noise, new people in your home base can be at times challenging, so our quote is time based and we can provide you with an estimate on the time it will take to complete the job.
Is tree topping advisable?
Topping a tree, which involves cutting back the upper branches, is generally not recommended as it can shock the tree. If there are structural defects, we may consider it, but only after a thorough assessment by our ISA certified arborists.
What are the costs associated with tree removal?
The cost of tree removal depends on several factors. On average, a small tree removal costs between $400 - $600, a medium tree removal ranges from $600 - $1200, and a large tree removal exceeds $1500. These are just estimates; each job varies based on local site conditions.
What factors influence your tree removal pricing?
We provide a detailed assessment and quote for all tree projects. Factors influencing the price include the tree’s age, height, health, and location. These factors determine the number of staff needed, the equipment required, and the time necessary to complete the project.
Why shouldn’t I remove a tree myself?
While you could attempt it, would you replace your car tires or fix your transmission yourself? Most people lack the skills for proper tree removal. You risk the tree falling into your neighbor's yard, causing damage, or injuring yourself. Proper calculations are needed to ensure branches fall correctly without causing damage.
Why is tree trimming important?
Like any living thing, trees need regular maintenance to prevent them from growing uncontrollably and becoming a safety hazard. We recommend annual tree maintenance to prevent trees from overtaking your property, improve aesthetics, and increase the tree’s longevity.
Do you offer annual maintenance plans for commercial properties?
Yes, we do, and we highly recommend it. Overgrown trees can pose a risk of limbs breaking off and causing damage. An annual maintenance plan tailored to your business needs can include tree trimming, inspections, soil management, and fertilization. We offer similar plans for residential clients as well.
How can homeowners help extend the life of their trees?
We encourage homeowners to regularly inspect their trees for damage or disease, especially as seasons change. To prolong your tree’s life, avoid damaging the bark with lawn mowers, don’t dig around the tree’s base, avoid spraying chemicals near it, use fertilizer sticks, and watch for insect infestations.
What do you do about the tree stump after removal?
If you need the tree stump removed, please inform us when booking the job or requesting a quote. Stump removal requires additional equipment and is not included in standard tree removal services.
Should I remove a tree stump?
Yes, we recommend stump removal. Leftover stumps can attract termites and ants, which may then infest other trees or your home. Stumps also continue to grow underground, potentially damaging pipes, and they detract from your property’s appearance and value.
How do you remove a tree stump?
We use a stump grinder for efficient stump removal. Ensure you specify stump removal when booking the job, as it requires additional equipment and is not included in standard tree removal services.
