Trees & Hedges

A tree is a long-term investment in your property that requires thought. We can help with whatever your needs, from choosing the right trees to ensuring proper placement, all the way through supply, delivery, installation, and post-installation care. Small details like exposure, soil conditions, amendments, fertilizers, drainage, and watering schedule are just a few of the things that can make all the difference between a healthy tree that grows to maturity and a tree that struggles. You can trust that our experienced team has the expertise and the attention to detail required to deliver a great final product you will be proud of.

Our in-house Arborist Sean Meade is here to help you make sense of your trees and what options you as a homeowner have. As a landscaping company we specialize in working on small and medium sized trees but can also help you with small reductions of large trees as well. If your tree is outside of our scope of work that’s no problem either; Sean is no stranger to the Arboriculture industry in Ottawa and can help find the right tree company for your needs.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

Selection

There is a lot that goes into selecting the right tree. Does the growth pattern of the tree present any long term issues for your property? Is the tree suited for our local climate? Have you chosen the optimal placement? Will the tree provide the shade or wind protection you desire?

These are just a few of the many considerations we can help with when selecting a tree. With hundreds of options available it can be overwhelming to know how to narrow it down. Let one of our arborists help you make the most of the investment in your property.

Planting

While anyone could dig a hole and throw a tree in it, there is so much more that goes into properly planting a tree. And while you may not notice a difference for several years, if you want your tree to reach maturity the tree planting process needs to be done right. We have planted hundreds of trees over the last several years. We have perfected the process and are meticulous with the details to make sure every tree we plant has the best chance to thrive.

Pruning

Proactive pruning of young and growing trees helps keep them healthy, strong, and well adapted to your landscape.

At Wilson Landscaping, our pruning services for small and medium-sized trees focus on both health and appearance. For young and newly planted trees, we provide structural pruning to guide proper form and avoid future issues. For more established trees, we offer crown cleaning to remove deadwood and minor defects, as well as reduction trimming to control size without compromising health. Every pruning job includes complete material removal and a thorough site cleanup, leaving your property looking better than we found it.

Removal

Careful removal of shrubs, bushes, and smaller trees can help refresh your landscape or make room for new plantings.

Wilson Landscaping provides professional removal of shrubs, bushes, and small trees, whether you’re reworking your garden or removing a declining tree before it becomes a risk. We manage every step, from safe cutting and controlled removal to hauling away wood, brush, and debris. Once the tree is gone, we make sure the site is fully cleaned up, leaving you with a clear, safe space ready for your next project.

Stump Grinding

We grind stumps deep so you can move forward with a fresh lawn, a new garden bed, or even replanting right where the old tree stood.

Wilson Landscaping offers deep stump grinding, ensuring the stump is removed well below grade, leaving the area ready for new planting, sod installation, or any landscaping you have in mind. Before grinding begins, we always conduct underground utility locates to ensure safety. While we clean up the site, we encourage reconstituting some of the wood grindings back into the soil to improve organic matter and soil health., leaving the area ready for new planting, sod installation, or any landscaping you have in mind. We also remove all grinding debris and do a final cleanup so you’re left with smooth, usable ground.
