Ottawa's urban forest is one of Canada's finest, but it demands expert care. From mature sugar maples and red oaks lining post-war streets to the emerald ash borer crisis that has claimed thousands of trees across the city, homeowners in K1P 1A1 and beyond face tree challenges that require both skill and local knowledge.
Ottawa Tree Trimming has served the capital and its surrounding area since 2013 with ISA Certified Arborists who understand the specific demands of this landscape: ravine lots with difficult access, strict municipal tree protection rules, cedar hedges on nearly every property line, and the seasonal urgency of storm damage. When your tree needs attention, you need a local company that knows Ottawa.
Our expertise in Ottawa, K1P 1A1 and the surrounding area
Ottawa's tree canopy is shaped by Ontario's climate and soil. Sugar maples and red oaks dominate mature neighbourhoods; silver maples and birches fill in the gaps. Norway spruce and black locust appear in older plantings. Cedar hedges define property lines across the city. But the emerald ash borer has devastated ash trees throughout the region, leaving many properties with declining, brittle trees that are unsafe to climb and must be removed or treated before they fail.
Our crews work regularly in Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven and Stittsville. We navigate ravine lots with steep slopes, tight backyards accessible only through a standard gate, and mature street trees in dense residential blocks. We know the City of Ottawa's tree protection rules and the permit process. We respect approach distances near your private electrical service entrance and never touch the public distribution network. We have worked on properties shaped by the Ottawa River, the Greenbelt and the Rideau, where access and rigging demand experience.
Eleven years of local work means we have seen every storm, every species failure and every neighbour dispute. That experience saves you time, money and stress.

How we work on your Ottawa property
Step one: free estimate. You call (343) 459-4991 or request a quote online. We visit your property, assess the tree or trees, discuss the work, and provide a clear price in writing. If a City of Ottawa permit is required, we advise you and can prepare an arborist report to support your application.
Step two: the work itself. Our crews arrive with the right equipment for your site. For a removal in a tight backyard, we rig the tree down section by section. For a stump, we grind it below grade so you can replant or build. For trimming or pruning, we follow ISA standards and leave your tree healthier and safer. For a cedar hedge, we shape it in late spring or summer when growth is active. For an ash tree threatened by emerald ash borer, we may recommend injection in late spring or early summer, or removal if the tree is too far gone.
Step three: clean-up. We chip branches on site or haul debris. We leave your property swept and ready. You see no mess.
Pricing for tree work in Ottawa depends on what you need. Tree trimming starts from $225; tree pruning from $200. Stump grinding begins at $95, and wood chipping at $85. Hedge trimming and branch removal cost from $50 and $75 respectively. Larger jobs such as tree removal, land clearing, tree cabling and bracing, and emerald ash borer treatment are quoted individually because they vary by site access, tree size, proximity to structures, and urgency. An ice storm or summer windstorm may demand emergency removal at any hour; we offer 24/7 emergency service. Always request a free estimate. We will tell you the true cost before we begin work.
