Tree Service in Tilbury, Ontario

Tilbury may sit on the western edge of Chatham-Kent, but it's well within the area Chatham Tree Services has served since 1992. Known as the light between the lakes and long a service hub for the surrounding farm country, Tilbury is a mix of a historic town core and wide rural properties, each with its own trees to care for.

When you need tree removal in Tilbury, skilled pruning, or storm cleanup, our fully insured, certified arborists are ready to help. We treat your property with the same respect we'd give our own.

Tilbury sits on flat, open farmland, which affects the risks to trees. Few natural barriers block the wind, so trees in yards, along laneways, or as farm windbreaks are exposed to it. That constant exposure stresses limbs and root systems, and a single strong storm can knock over a tree weakened by years of wind. Monitor trees in exposed locations for early signs of stress.

Then there's the old part of town. The historic downtown and established streets of Tilbury are lined with mature trees that have stood for generations, and large, old trees develop deadwood, heavy limbs, and weak unions that require attention before they fail. Emerald Ash Borer is also a threat to ash trees throughout the region. A certified arborist can evaluate a tree and determine its needs, whether it's a tree on a farm exposed to the wind or a large shade tree near an older house.

Timing is crucial in tree care. Most pruning is best done while trees are dormant, from late fall through winter, when there's no leaf cover to hide a tree's structure and the tree copes with the work more easily. For exposed rural properties around Tilbury, the quieter winter months are also a good opportunity to shore up or thin wind-stressed trees before the storm season returns.

Not everything can be planned, of course. If the trunk is leaning, limbs are falling, or there is storm damage, it's time to call for help now. When in doubt, we're happy to come out and provide you with a straight answer, no strings attached, at no cost.

We like to keep things straightforward for our customers. It all begins with a free visit: a certified arborist comes to your property, assesses the tree, and gives you an honest assessment of what's needed, including whether the tree can be preserved rather than removed. Before you book any work, you'll know exactly what it involves and how much it costs.

Once we're underway, the crew brings the right equipment for the task, from careful rope work on a delicate prune to the use of an aerial device or a crane for large or awkward removals, a real advantage on open rural sites and tight town lots alike. We finish every job the same way: with a thorough cleanup that leaves your property neat and well cared for.
