Crown Arborists provides professional tree removal services to homeowners in Halifax, Dartmouth, and surrounding communities. Removing a tree is sometimes necessary to protect people, property, and the long-term health of your landscape. 

Whether a tree is dead, hazardous, or interfering with structures, our certified arborists complete the process efficiently and in compliance with municipal requirements. We use industry best practices, specialized equipment, and an environmentally responsible approach to ensure minimal disruption to your property.

Why Hire Certified Arborists for Tree Removal

Safe and compliant tree removal requires much more than just starting a chainsaw. Our certified arborists have the training and equipment to work at height, manage heavy sections of timber, and operate within tight spaces. Our team always follows applicable regulations for every jobsite, including Nova Scotia Occupational Health and Safety regulations and Halifax Regional Municipality by-laws. 

We'll first promptly assess tree health, structural stability, and potential hazards before any work begins. Experience-based planning allows us to determine the most appropriate removal method and the equipment needed. 

We also manage the permitting process when municipal or protected trees are involved, including HRM’s Tree By-law (T-600) and other applicable regulations. Enjoy the benefits of our professional care that reduces the risk of property damage, injury, or fines for non-compliant work.

Types of Tree Removal We Provide

Our services address a wide range of situations requiring expert arborist tree removal:

  • Hazardous tree removal involving structural instability, significant lean, or major storm damage that threatens property or public safety

  • Dead tree removal of specimens with no viable growth, brittle branches, or extensive decay that increase the risk of sudden failure

  • Tree cutting services for healthy trees that are in unsuitable locations or conflict with planned construction or infrastructure.

We also assist with trees impacted by pests, disease, or invasive species, and provide recommendations for replanting to support the health of the urban canopy.

How the Tree Removal Process Works

We follow precise protocols when providing professional tree removal services:

  • Initial consultation: An ISA-certified arborist inspects the tree, evaluates risk factors, and prepares a detailed scope of work.

  • Site preparation: We establish safety zones, protect nearby structures and landscaping, and confirm utility clearance.

  • Tree removal: Depending on the site, we use sectional dismantling, cranes, or precision felling. Rigging systems allow us to lower sections safely without damaging surrounding property.

  • Stump management: We offer stump grinding or full removal to suit your plans for the space.

  • Debris handling: We remove, recycle, or leave on site all wood, branches, and chips, as agreed in the quote.
