About Burford Tree Service

Who We Are

Tree trimming and tree removal for Burford village and the old township around it is what Burford Tree Service does. Seven services in all, with tree trimming at the centre of them: tree trimming and pruning, dead limbs, storm work, tree removal, crown reduction, cabling, and stumps.

A tree trimming outfit that stays inside one township ends up behaving differently. Repeat customers and their neighbours account for very nearly all the tree trimming that reaches us.

About Burford Tree Service

What Makes Us Different

Paperwork comes before saws. Each tree on your property gets its own entry in the quote, along with the tree trimming intended for it, a percentage for the crown being taken, and a note of where the brush and timber are headed.

Sometimes the honest answer is that no tree trimming is needed at all, and you will get that answer free. Selling unnecessary tree trimming is not how this works.

Our Commitment To Quality

A tree can only seal a tree trimming wound made in the right spot, which is immediately outside the branch collar, and that is where our cuts go. Topping belongs in another category altogether. It is not on our list, and if somebody has offered it to you we will gladly explain what it does.

Insurance covers every job and the policy documents are yours to read before the first tree trimming cut. Put that question to anyone else quoting tree trimming on your property as well.

Working With Local Conditions

Sand is the fact that shapes tree work in this township. There is ten metres of it at Harley, more than twenty near the airport, and a thin layer over clay in other spots.

That single fact explains most of the tree trimming we do. Trees run short of water in August, crowns thin from the top down, roots spread wide instead of deep, and drought does more damage over ten years than any storm does in one night. Every tree trimming recommendation we make is built around it.

How A Job Runs

First comes a walk around every tree you have. The written price follows. Say yes and a date is fixed, together with what happens to brush and timber.

Tree trimming on the day proceeds downward through the crown, with rigging lines used anywhere there is something below, chipping happening alongside, and a rake over the site to finish.

Where Do We Service?

We start in Burford village, then work out along the concessions through Bishopsgate, Harley, Cathcart and Kelvin.

New Durham, Fairfield Plain, Northfield, Mount Vernon and the west side of Brantford are all within range. Counted by area instead of by invoice, concession properties fill most of our tree trimming week.

The Work We Take On

What We Do

We work on maples down a farm lane, on rows planted as windbreaks, on ash standing dead in the yard, and on whatever a summer squall line leaves behind.

Tree Trimming and Pruning

How much foliage sits in a crown determines the workload on the roots below it, and on sand that matters more than anywhere else, which is why tree trimming and pruning is worth getting right here. Insurance covers every job, and tree trimming and pruning is available throughout Burford and the old township.

Emergency Storm Damage Cleanup

Trees down across a lane, a roof or a road call for emergency storm damage cleanup without delay. Insurance covers the work, and this line is picked up after hours everywhere in Burford and the old township. Wires in the mix mean the utility hears from you first.

Tree Removal

Open ground is the cheapest tree removal situation there is. A truck parks beside the trunk, sections are dropped straight onto grass, and the chipper sits a few steps away.

Tree Cabling and Bracing

Finding a weak fork does not condemn a tree, and tree cabling and bracing is why. Tree cabling and bracing will keep it standing safely for years yet. Insurance covers the work, we fit both types across Burford and the old township, and where steel is the wrong call you will hear that too.

Stump Grinding and Removal

After felling there is still something in the ground, and stump grinding and removal is what takes it out. Its price stands apart from the felling price, so the choice is yours to make. Insurance covers the work, and we serve Burford and the old township.

Ask For A Written Price

Include the species and a rough height if either is known to you. Always include the road, since getting a truck in matters more to the price than the tree does. Say what lies under the crown. Mark anything storm related as urgent. Everything else is optional apart from your contact details. You are welcome to call us instead on (226) 546-3837.
