Why Hire an Certified Arborist?

 

From ISA Trees Are Good.


An certified arborist is a specialist in the care of individual trees. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Hiring an arborist is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns.

Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your

property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.



Why Choose Bowthorpe Tree Services?

 

We care. 

We will not advise a tree removal because it is good for business.


We care for the environment.  We never take wood to landfill. We give away wood to people who want to heat their homes and we also know local craftsmen who use the wood to produce artistic pieces.


Our brush is turned into compost by the city and resold back to the public.


We use a bio oil in our chainsaws that has less of an impact on the environment.

 

We care for animals. We prefer not to remove trees with baby birds or mammals nesting in them. Usually just a few weeks of patiance on your part will give them enough time to be able to move on their own. If your tree removal is urgent, or if we don't discover the nest before removing a tree, we transport orphaned young mammals to Rideau Wildlife Sanctuary and young birds to the Wild Bird Centre.


We care for other trees. We sterilise our tools before work, this helps prevent the spread of diseases among trees. We try to relocate any unwanted wood as locally to the site as possible.



Please see the link on the left, 'Tree Removal and Pruning' to see how we work.
