ABOUT TREE REMOVAL

Generally, tree removal is a last resort, but sometimes it’s necessary for the safety and functioning of your property.

If your tree has sustained heavy damage from a storm or has a major defect and pruning is not an option, then removal may be the next step. Additionally, if your tree is growing in an inconvenient location or has simply reached the end of its life cycle, a hazardous tree should be removed.

As some tree removals can be more dangerous than others, advanced techniques and tools may be required. Whether your project is simple and straightforward or is complex and technical, Thornton Tree Solutions has the skills and experience to do the job safely and efficiently.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

“I have hired Matt on several occasions to either limb large dangerous branches hanging over the cottage or remove large trees altogether. Not only was Matt prompt professional and neat, it was a wonder to watch him at his craft. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

— RON SPARKS
"Had Matt come and reshape an old apple tree that had dead areas and was damaged from the storm. Did a FANTASTIC job!! Took out huge sections and now it looks like a new tree! Reasonably priced, on time and barely a twig left behind. Highly recommend him!"

So glad that I came across Matt. Meeting him in a week for another project. You won’t be disappointed.”
