What We Handle

Every tree removal situation, done safely

No two removal jobs are the same. Our equipment and experience handle the full range, from small yard trees to large, mature trees in difficult locations.

Dead and Diseased Trees

Structurally compromised trees are unpredictable. We remove them before they become a liability to your property or your neighbours.

Hazardous Trees Near Structures

Trees leaning toward your home, fence, or power lines require precision removal. We plan every cut with structure protection in mind.

Tight-Access Lots and Backyards

Our specialized lift is only 32 inches wide, allowing safe entry through standard gates and into confined yard spaces where climbing would be dangerous.

Stump Grinding to Grade

Once the tree is down, we grind the stump flush so your yard is clean, usable, and ready for grass, landscaping, or whatever comes next.

Large and Mature Trees

Big spruce, mature poplar, and large deciduous trees require methodical sectional removal. We develop pre-work and safety plans that are followed to bring them down safely.

Debris Hauling and Site Cleanup

We leave the site clean. All branches, logs, and debris are hauled away so you are not left with a mess after the job is done.

Simple, safe, and predictable

From first contact to final cleanup, here is what you can expect when you hire Hardy Bear.
