Tree removal, wood chipping, tree pruning and hedge trimming across the Township of Alfred and Plantagenet, from Wendover and Plantagenet on the Ottawa River to Alfred, Curran and Blue Corners. Fully insured with $5 million in liability insurance, bilingual, with 24-hour emergency service and free on-site estimates.
Alfred and Plantagenet is in Prescott and Russell, outside the City of Ottawa, so Ottawa's tree by-law does not apply here. Rules vary from one municipality to the next, so we check before taking down a tree near a road or municipal land.
Anywhere in Ontario, a tree whose trunk grows across the property line belongs to both neighbours (section 10 of the Forestry Act), and both must agree before it comes down.
The May 21, 2022 derecho produced an EF2 downburst along a path from Nepean as far east as Plantagenet (source), and the township spent weeks clearing fallen trees. Trees that came through it can carry cracks or root damage that only shows later.
The south of the township runs into the Alfred Bog, the largest high-quality peat bog left in southern Ontario (source), while the north is Ottawa River shoreline. Wet ground at both ends means shallow-rooted trees, which go over more easily in wind.
The township's largest village, on Highway 17 beside the Alfred Bog. Tree service in Alfred.
Where the South Nation River meets the Ottawa, and the hardest-hit part of the township in the 2022 derecho. Tree service in Plantagenet.
A village on the Ottawa River, east of Rockland. Tree service in Wendover.
A riverside village at the east end of the township. Shoreline trees here take the wind off the open river, and we prune or remove them before they come down on a cottage or dock.
Rural lots and farms, where most of our work is windbreak rows, trees over lanes and sheds, and dead ash.
A small rural community. We take down dead and leaning trees, grind stumps and chip the brush on site, so there is nothing left to haul.
Country homes on larger lots, often with mature maples and spruce close to the house. We prune for clearance over roofs and remove trees that have outgrown the spot.
A rural crossroads community. Storm cleanup, hazard trees along the road and cedar hedge trimming are the usual calls.
Yes. Alfred and Plantagenet is in our regular service area. Estimates are free and done on site, and we offer 24-hour emergency service for dangerous trees.
All of them, including Alfred, Plantagenet, Wendover, Lefaivre, Curran, Pendleton, Treadwell and Blue Corners.
Ottawa's by-law does not apply in Alfred and Plantagenet, which is in Prescott and Russell. Rules vary by municipality; we check before removing a tree near a road or municipal land, and a tree on the property line needs both neighbours to agree.
