“We wanted to preserve this old oak in our backyard but also use the space better. Grand Valley Arborists built a custom wooden bench around it, and the craftsmanship is excellent. The bench is solid, the finish has held up through the spring rains, and now we actually sit under that tree instead of just looking at it. Really impressed with how they thought through the drainage around the base.”
Tree bench installation
“Our cedar hedge had gotten completely out of hand over two seasons. The crew came in, shaped it back to something we could actually manage, and cleaned up every branch and clipping. What surprised me was how they explained the best time to trim in autumn to keep it dense through winter. They've been back twice now for seasonal work.”
Hedge trimming and yard maintenance
“We needed about 2 hectares cleared for pasture on our rural property. The crew removed mixed growth, stumps and all, then chipped the debris on site so we didn't have to haul it. They graded the land level and left it ready to seed. The timeline was tight, but they finished on schedule. Very relieved to have that done properly.”
Land clearing for farming
“Three large trees had to come down after the winter damage, and we were worried about the cost and mess. Grand Valley gave a clear quote, showed up with the right equipment, and the removal was safer and faster than I expected. The stump grinding was thorough. My only note is that the final cleanup took a bit longer than quoted, but the main job was done right.”
Tree removal and land clearing
“We called them out in December to assess frost damage on our rural property and trim back some hazardous branches near the barn. The arborist walked the whole site with us, explained what could stay and what had to go, and didn't oversell unnecessary work. They were efficient in the cold and left the place cleaner than when they arrived. Good value for the time spent.”
Winter property tree maintenance
“Two mature trees were taking over our backyard and blocking light to the garden. We were nervous about the work, but the crew mapped it all out beforehand, removed both trees without damage to the fence or house, ground the stumps below grade, and regraded the soil so water drains away from the foundation. The whole yard looks bigger now and we can actually grow vegetables again.”
