  • “Trevor pruned our extremely overgrown old apple tree, and we couldn’t be happier! He had quoted us a very fair price, and we liked his advice. After thoughtful consultation with us about what we wanted, he and his colleague spent a couple of hours expertly taking off dead limbs, trimming branches away from the house, and raising the canopy. The tree immediately looked much healthier and happier. Trevor gave us pointers for looking after the tree as it heals. And the guys even generously hacked down a couple of ferocious wild rose bushes for us at no extra cost, and cleaned up all the mess! Thanks so much, guys!”
    - Alison B.

  • “We had a hazardous situation in the middle of a lovely old garden. An oak tree grew in a forked configuration. Both forks grew to 45 feet, and one leaned over our house. It was just a matter of time before it would be blown down. The crew at Red Oaks took down the dangerous tree, and the way they did it, no crocus was harmed.”
    - Garry J.

  • “We had a lot of big old trees on our new to us property on King St in Windsor that needed to be cut away from the house . Called Red Oaks and they came , quoted and fit us in within the week. Work was done efficiently and exactly as asked. He recognized a sick tree and after inspection , it came down as well. I will have them back to do more next spring.”
    - Leanne C.
