Derek came out really quickly to give a free quote for chipping and taking a tree down. We had just…read moremoved to an 2 acre property with many large trees. We had no real knowledge, he walked around with us and pointed out which ones may be a problem now and in the next few years. He like how he gave us pointers on what to do about trees that didn't get enough light. When we got our quote the price was very reasonable. It would have cost a little less to rent a chipper ourselves but then we would have had to do all the labour. So worth itself!! He came back the next week and took one tree down and chipped a huge pile of tree and shrub branches my husband had taken down prior to. He was a pleasure to deal with. Would definitely use him again.

We needed a patch of large roots removed. It was extensive and had spread out from a neighbor's…read morevery large pine tree into our yard under the fence. The roots were exposed above the ground and a lot underground. Dan came by and gave us a reasonable estimate. We weren't in a hurry and he said he would find an available time in the near future. He showed up a few weeks later. We did not have to call him again like we have had to do with many contractors who promise and then never show. He and his helper got the big root grinder off his trailer and started the nasty, dusty job. He spoke with me before he started going over exactly what we wanted and he made suggestions which we agreed to. Then he did exactly what we agreed to. He used protective boards to avoid sending rock and/or pieces of roots in to our house, fence, or shrubs. They cleaned up the pieces including the rocks that we have in our yard all over. He only asked for the agreed estimated price. Dan and his helper were both friendly and professional. We would certainly recommend his service to others and we would have him do any tree service we might need in the future.

Darren Whieldon shipped my logs to a mill on Jul 31.2025. Not only did he pick up the three loads…read moreon that same day, but he also offered to take them to a mill who would give me a much more fair price. I did not ask him for that, he just offered and I accepted. The result was that I ended up getting almost a third more for my wood from that mill of his choosing, than I got from another mill last year for a very similar size and quality shipment. I can't say enough good about this man. He is the real deal.

Joe Skillen Tree Services just removed two 60' trees for me…read more My 5 star experience started with Dean, the owner. His communication and customer service were top notch. He scheduled my appointment, the crew showed up on the day scheduled, and were right on time! The crew of 3 worked very hard while on site. The trees were stripped of their branches, tree rounds were then cut to size to fit my wood stove, branches were chipped, and they did an amazing job of cleaning up after themselves. It was a breath of fresh air to deal with such a professional company that lived up to its promises. Thank you, Dean and crew! Without hesitation, I highly recommend Joe Skillen Tree Services.

Vince from Arsenault Tree Service was recommended to me as the best and most ethical person in the business. I can completely agree with this! Vince came out, looked at my tree, gave his recommendation (we did a deep root fertilization as well) and on the day he and his team came to do the pruning, they were punctual, professional, discussed their approach before starting to work and the end result is beautiful! The tree is shaped much better, they took some weight off on one side and my yard was left spotless. Thank you so much guys, see you in a couple of years :)

All the debris and even leaves that were previously on the lawns were cleaned up. Their price may be slightly higher than competitors but they are fully insured and have WorksafeBC which others do not. Others would sue you, the homeowner, if they were injured without Worksafe insurance coverage. We found it pays to hire the best, their longevity in the business is a testament to their attention to detail and taking good care of their customers. Highly recommend this family base company.
