HUGE Mulberry trees

I have two 100 year old HUGE Mulberry trees that need constant attention. I have used 2 other well know tree care companies in the past and all though they did a decent job I felt they really wanted the business to cut the tree down. This time I read the reviews about dealing with huge trees and felt I would give Higher Place a try. I am more then thrilled with Chris’s knowledge, expertise and care for trees. He thought the tree was still sound and with some pruning and a certain tripe of cable would save it for a couple more years.
AND 3 weeks later on a Friday night my newly adopted indoor cat that wears a secure cat vest and a leash when I am out with him in the backyard, turned my head and my cat climbed 40 feet up the tree and go caught by the leash. He could move forward or backward. I called the Fire/City/rescue to see if they could help and was told it is up to the owner to get the cat down. I called Chris Brown and he came in an hour. He had to repel up to to the branch and coax my cat to him put him in a special animal basket and bring him down. He truly cares about his customers and goes the extra mile.
to get him down.

Thank you very much for the glowing review! I'm glad we were able to take care of your old tree and that we could get that cat down safe and sound.

Tree cutting

I researched several contractors and very impressed with the quick response and written quote from Chris who has walked an extra mile to contact City of Toronto and fighting to get the permit for me.
Chris and his partner were on time, work efficiently and effectively . Got the job done within time scheduled and cleaned up the mess immediately.
Hat off to you Chris.
Strongly recommend Chris and his team for any tree services.

Blue Spruce Trimming

Amazing job! Chis and his team made our tree look fantastic and so much healthier. They left the yard looking better than when they arrived and we loved how knowledgeable Chris was about the health of the tree and what to expect. Can't recommend these guys any 'higher' :)

Removal of diseased Colorado Blue Spruce

We hired Chris and his crew to remove a dying Colorado Blue Spruce from our front yard. We had quotes from 3 different vendors before choosing Higher Place Tree care. What set Chris apart was his professionalism and his willingness to walk me through the entire process - from the creation of the arborist report, to obtaining a city permit and then to the actual tree removal and stump grinding. On the day of the actual tree removal work, he arrived on time and systematically went about his work. As an engineer myself, I really appreciated the methodical way he and his team cut the tree in sections and then strategically used a series of ropes and pulleys to bring down the final 30 foot section of the trunk while using other cut down sections to cushion the fall and minimize collateral damage to my lawn. The cleanup was also very well done and my neighbours have commented that it looks even cleaner than before they did the job. Overall we are very pleased with the work and would not hesitate to utilize the services of Chris and his team again. Great work

Removal of Three Spruce Trees

Chris was extremely professional and easy to work with from start to finish. He came out for an estimate right away. He was courteous, informative, and happy to answer all my questions. We received several quotes and he stood out above the rest. In addition to his fair pricing, his work was fantastic! The removal and clean-up were done both effectively and efficiently! I would strongly recommend Chris and Higher Place Tree Care without hesitation! Thank you for providing such fantastic service!

Tree and shrub removal

He removed several out of control shrubs and trees on our property. Came for the estimate on time, wearing a mask as requested. He was very thorough and pleasant and was able to schedule in a timely manner. Everything was done in a few hours and you can’t even tell there were giant trees and shrubs there before!!! Stumps are ground down to oblivion!! Very happy, will call him again when the rest of our greenery gets out of control :)

Two big jobs

I asked Chris to have a look at a very difficult trimming job. He was there to give a quote as soon as I finished typing it seemed, and he gave a fair quote, with better understanding of the job, and the tree, than any other arborist who'd tackled this old tree. He communicated extremely well. He showed up on time with his men and did a wonderful, and very difficult, job--so well the neighbours also spoke their appreciation. He left a clean site. Very shortly thereafter we needed a tree removed; again, great communication, fair price and he juggled things for us to fit the work in about a month before he actually had an opening. He even helped us move stuff to prepare the site. In a perfect world, every experience of buying services would be like this--expeert, pleasant, honest and leaving you feeling your business really meant something. I'm going to plant more trees just so I can hire Chris to come and cut them down someday. Thanks, Chris.
