Tree Removal
Professional tree removal services for hazardous, dead, or unwanted trees. Our certified arborists use rope-controlled felling and climbing techniques to ensure safe and efficient removal while protecting your property. We handle permits, provide free estimates, and prioritize client safety and satisfaction. Our team is equipped to manage small backyard trees and large hazardous removals across Ottawa and the Valley.
Stump Grinding
Complete stump grinding services to eliminate tripping hazards and restore your landscape. Using specialized equipment, we grind stumps below ground level, allowing for replanting or landscaping. Our process includes mulch backfill and ensures a clean, level yard. We handle both hardwood and softwood stumps with minimal disruption to your property.
Tree Pruning
Precision tree pruning to enhance tree health, structure, and aesthetics. Our arborists remove dead or diseased branches, improve canopy density, and reduce storm damage risks. We follow industry best practices to promote tree longevity while maintaining property safety and visual appeal for residential and commercial clients.
Tree Cabling
Expert tree cabling and bracing to reinforce weak or damaged trees. Our arborists install flexible steel cables and braces to redistribute stress, prevent branch failure, and preserve tree health. This service is ideal for trees weakened by storms, heavy snow, or structural defects, ensuring long-term stability and safety.

A very smart and professional group of people. They took out two trees for me. These men and women knew what they were doing and very carefully cut down the trees without damaging any of the very delicate and valued plants that were near the trees. I would happily hire them again if I needed their services.

The estimate was good and fair. They scheduled a date and arrived on time. They did my neighbor's tree also. They were very quick and careful when they cut the tree. They grounded the stump down to ground level and cleaned up the mess, leaving only small wood chips which can't be picked up. They were done in about 1.5 hrs. When they left, they knocked on my door to let me know everything was done, and that they were on there way. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has a tree to remove.

Croft Tree Experts did a fantastic job on our large sugar maple in our backyard. Arrived on time, did a great cleanup, and answered all our questions. Our tree and yard look much better. Will definitely call again. Service was professional at a very reasonable cost.

This was my first time having work done on our trees and Croft was great!! I had reached out to another company first (Davey Tree) and the service was awful. After that headache I reach out to Croft on a whim, based on their google reviews -- and the service was excellent. Great communication from Kristy at the office. Our estimate was done by Kyle, who was really knowledgeable and nice. The day of the work the team was quick, efficient, polite and friendly. Also, the cost was much less than I expected (but then again, it was my first time so my perception of cost may have been way off!). Thanks
