Tree Pruning

We had 3 40 year old cedar trees thinned which allowed an amazing amount more light into our back yard. They asked every step of the way how we wanted it to go and clean up went well. We spent 6 hours with a very talented charming crew looking after us. We have used them at least 6 times over the years for major pruning and some removal in the past.

Thanks again Trenna, hard to believe that it's almost 20 years we have been taking care of your tree needs. We really value the long term care and consideration for your trees and our inclusion in that. Enjoy the rest of the summer and we look forward to connecting again in the future.

Work done for an obsessive-compulsive architect

In recent years Monkey Tree Services Ltd. has worked on my Vancouver property three times. On each occasion the crew arrived when scheduled; the work was done efficiently; and the clean-up was thorough.
My property includes two rows of trees - beeches and hornbeams - planted perpendicular to one another against intersecting property lines. These trees I like pruned to form 'hedges on sticks'. The Monkey Tree crew did this work with great enthusiasm, pruning so that all was plumb and level ( and not severing adjacent Hydro cables which has been done by other tree pruners in earlier times ).
I also have in my garden a 100 year old and very tall cypress tree. This required significant work to tidy it up. Again, this work was done with great precision.
In conclusion I cannot recommend Monkey Tree Services highly enough.

Thanks Robert! It was a great climb and the tree has more presence as a result of the pruning. We appreciate your trust and confidence in us. We look forward to maintaining your property into the future!

Saving a Western Red Cedar

I wish to thank Seth for his excellent assistance.
Three years ago, our backyard had a large (~5' diameter) Western Red Cedar that was clearly dying. I contacted 6 arborists to attend and give me advice on how to save the tree. The first 5 were of no help. I was about to give up and let the tree die. When Seth came, he quickly (within minutes) correctly diagnosed the problem and directed me on how to fix the problem. Seth then followed up in subsequent visits and assisted me in bringing in another firm to remediate the issue.
Now, three years later, the tree is clearly healthier with significant new growth each season.
My deepest thanks goes to Seth for his expertise and assistance in saving our Red Cedar.

Your words of praise are appreciated. It is so great to have the relationship with our clients that allows us real time review of our assertions and administering of our craft. Real expertise comes from reflections, review and re-applications. Keep us posted and we will look to 2026 for a 5 year review of the trees condition.

Amazing job! Can recommend without hesitation.

We absolutely were 100% satisfied with the work by Monkey Tree Services.
When they came to assess the property for the quote, I was impressed by the care Joel took when we walked around our property. We had a few trouble spots which he was happy to discuss with me and was able make helpful observations and suggestions. We had another different company that came to do a quote but they refused to discuss anything with me they seemed disinterested and simply said for a property like this we would send a crew for 2 hours, $4000 with no details of what they would actually be doing.

When Shawn from Monkey Tree Services came with the crew to do the job, they were prompt, pleasant, respectful, efficient, did an excellent job, and they cleaned up amazingly well afterwards!
I also very much appreciated them leaving the wood chips as I had asked, to use as mulch under some trees.
I really feel they went above and beyond. They exceeded my expectations.
I will absolutely call them again and would recommend them to everyone without hesitation.

Man the time flies, it has been great working together over the years. The ability for long duration pruning and the reflection of growth from the pruning provides an insight into arboricultural practice that can only be learned by that process itself. We value your confidence and continued trust in our process. Thanks Carrot Top!

gave a good referral.

Monkey Tree did not do the job. We did not have really tall trees, we were referred to Rakes & Ladders. The job was done. Thank you.

Excellent communication and Quality work

I contacted Monkey Tree Services to come and provide a solution to a couple of large trees next to my home that I was worried about possibly causing damage if they fell. The office staff were quick and easy to communicate with and there was no wait to have someone at my house to take a look at my problem and explain the process of the work. I scheduled the work with them and was extremely happy with the quickness of the job completion as well as how clean my yard was left after they finished. I would definitely recommend Monkey Tree Services to anyone looking for arborist work.

Very Impressed!

I would highly recommend Monkey Tree Services! I had previously asked another well known company to come and assess my tree and they did not come as arranged and did not respond to my follow up emails! Lucky for me, I contacted Monkey Tree Services instead. They were prompt, courteous and came when they said they would. Joel was the arborist who assessed my tree and he was excellent. I am so very impressed by this company. I will definitely come back for any work that needs to be done on my trees and will happily recommend them to all my friends and family.
