Tree work on Canadian Lakes lots
- Clearance over roofs and decks on wooded lots, where mature oaks and pines grow close to the house
- View pruning toward the water — thinning lower limbs instead of removing whole trees
- Dead pine and ash removal before they come down in a storm
- Stump grinding after older removals, so lawns and shore areas can be mowed
- Seasonal homes: if you aren't up at the lake full time, we can often look at the tree and send photos and a price
Before you cut near the water
Lake communities and associations often have their own rules about cutting along the shoreline and removing trees on common ground. Check with the Canadian Lakes association office before having work done, and let us know about any rules up front.
Oaks: Canadian Lakes has a lot of oak. Avoid pruning oaks from mid-April through mid-July to reduce the risk of oak wilt.

Questions from Canadian Lakes
Can I get an estimate if I'm not up at the lake?
Often, yes. Add photos and describe where the tree is on the lot. We can often look at a tree without you there and send a price.
Do I need association approval to remove a tree?
Possibly, especially near the shoreline or on common ground. Check with the Canadian Lakes association office before work is scheduled.
When is the best time for tree work at a lake property?
Fall and winter are popular: leaves are down, the lawn is dormant, and frozen ground is easier on lawns and shorelines. Avoid pruning oaks from mid-April to mid-July.
