Excelling at your trade is just one part of being an expert; the other is having in-depth knowledge of the region you work in.
That’s particularly true for arborists, especially those who work on waterfront properties in Muskoka: knowing the region is key to doing a good job.
This means understanding how to deal with Muskoka’s unique topography, knowing what tree cutting bylaws exist in each community, and much more, explains Terrance Joyce of Elevation Tree Care. That’s not a simple matter, particularly since each municipality in the region has its own tree cutting and conservation by-laws to follow.
“Knowing these rules and others is what sets quality tree care companies above the rest,” says Terrance.
Their team has over two decades of working and running businesses in Muskoka, which includes 10-plus years in tree care. With extensive experience working on islands and hard-to-reach properties, as well as road-access waterfront cottages, Elevation Tree Care can provide exceptional advice and service to their clients.
Variety of services
The other component of excellence, of course, is the quality of the workmanship. Terrance and his team are experts in a wide range of services, including risk assessment, pruning, removals, emergency tree care, and more.
They carefully assess each property to determine the best way to enhance the health of the trees and the safety and enjoyment of the occupants. And full cleanup afterward is always part of the service.
Their skill and experience have helped them develop excellent relationships with their clients.
“It may sound simple, but one of the things our clients appreciate is that we show up when we say we will,” explains Terrance. “We’ll get your job done – and done right – within the time frame we give you. We provide a fair quote based on an accurate assessment of the work and time needed to do it – and we stick by it.”
And that’s exactly what home and cottage owners want from their local arborists.
