Taking down a giant tree!

We had a large, diseased elm tree in our yard that needed removal. Shopping around for quotes was difficult as there weren't many companies that would deal with such a large tree that extended over city power lines.
Chris came on site to assess the job, and was very knowledgeable, patient and explained some of our options.
His quote was competitive with others we'd received so we proceeded.
Rain pushed off our start date, but we quickly rescheduled.
The whole operation was smooth and quick. 2 days to take down the tree and 1/2 day to grind the stump.
He checked in at the end of each day and made sure our yard was clean afterwards.

Thanks so much to Chris and the Higher Place team.

Tree removal

Had a big linden tree in the front yard of my recently purchased home. Looked at several candidates to do the job. Selected Chris after talking with him because I was impressed with his professional opinion as to the likelihood of obtaining approval from the city. Pricing was middle ground but Chris was very knowledgeable and straightforward as the what to expect from tree removal application to actual removal.
On the day of the tree removal, him and his crew
completed the task and left the area clean and pristine.
Definitely would recommend!!

Tree Removal

We recently hired Chris, Higher Place Tree Care Inc., to remove the tallest tree in our valley, which was 75% dead and had become a safety concern. The entire process, including permits from the city, seemed daunting to us and was handled with exceptional skill and professionalism.
Chris arrived fully equipped with specialized gear and a powerful truck that efficiently ground the tree into chips, which he promptly disposed of. Remarkably, by the time I returned from grocery shopping, the tree was completely goneand the area was so thoroughly cleaned, it looked as though no work had been done at all!
This is a highly dangerous job, and its clear that Chris and his team are true experts in his field. Beyond his technical abilities, hes also incredibly friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. I couldnt recommend him more highly for anyone in need of arborist services. Thank you for making such a big job seem effortless!

Tree Trimming surrounding entire yard - privacy wall of trees

Chris and his team did such an excellent job. We had tried two other companies and were never satisfied with the end result. Our beeches and hornbeams look lovely! And as an added bonus his team were friendly, did a beautiful clean-up and were considerate of our neighbours.

Tree Pruning

Chris and his crew did an excellent job pruning our trees and was observant in noting the hazards neighbours trees were posing to our home.

As always Chris effectively communicated what he was quoting for, came on time and was a pleasure to deal with.

Linden tree removal

Chris and his team removed a large linden tree in my backyard. The tree was leaning badly on the fence and wires and unfortunately had to be taken down. Dealing with Chris was a pleasure. From getting a quote to getting the permit from the city to taking the tree down, Chris work was impeccable. Communication with him was easy, quick and efficient. He showed up on time, did the job and left the property perfectly clean. I would strongly recommend this company.

Manitoba Maple Tree Removal

Chris was quick to respond to our request in need for an Arborist. He diagnosed our large Manitoba Maple tree with clear experience and provided us with a reasonable quote to remove it.

With his knowledge of the Citys bylaws and policies, he helped us to get the required permit efficiently.

Chris showed up at the promised time with his crew and did the work with excellence and professionalism. They were very respectful and careful not to damage our hedges that were very close.

They finished on time despite the challenging job and left the site very clean, which was very appreciated.

We highly recommend Chris and his company.

Huge dead tree removal

The Higher Place crew were on time, courteous and efficient. They used amazing technology to remove our huge, but sadly dead elm. The tree spanned several urban back yards, and Higher Place managed to remove it all, never touching any number of wires or garage roofs below. They then did a great job cleaning up ours and our neighbours yards. I highly recommend Higher Place.

Removed a huge Oak tree from a very difficult place

Professional, talented and careful crew. Fairly priced given the complexity of the job. Other arborists weren't even confident they could do it, and Chris' team tackled it flawlessly. Plus they are all great people. Highly recommend, especially for any tricky jobs as they are very careful not to damage anything or get hurt in the process.
