I highly recommend Sarginson’s Tree Services! I booked them in August to have our Columnar Hornbeam trimmed back, and I really appreciated the arborist’s advice to wait until October so the tree wouldn’t be shocked by the pruning. The crew arrived on the scheduled day with very professional equipment, including a bucket truck, and they did a beautiful job. They carefully slimmed down the tree while maintaining its shape, and the end result was exactly what I was hoping for. They were all friendly, professional, and respectful of the property, and they did an excellent job cleaning everything up afterward. I would absolutely have them back to do work here again. Great experience from start to finish!

Chris and his team did a great job at our house in Port Hope. They pruned two giant blue spruce trees to take out dead branches, cut back some tall honeysuckles, and removed heavy branches from our Norway maple in the back. They arrived on time, everyone was polite and helpful, and cleanup was amazing. Throughout, Chris kept checking in with us to be sure we were happy with the process. Thank you.

These guys are professionals. Chris came by and assessed the unique situation for each of my trees. Came up with a plan, sent me a quote and booked a day a week or two out. As agreed, the crew arrived and we reviewed the plan and I asked for a change which he handled. The crew took down 4 trees and cleaned up a few others and it looks great. Highly recommend. They also took away some trimmings I had along the side of the garage and got rid of that too.

Chris and team are by far the most professional, experienced and friendly group. They were at our property to remove two 80 year old silver maple trees along with one smaller tree and brush along the fence line. They worked tirelessly in the heat on the first day and braved the winds on thr second day. Each day was a full day and at the end they thoroughly cleaned up the area. The street looked perfect each day. It was hard to have these beautiful trees taken down, but we relied on Chris's knowledge and experience to be guide us. I highly recommend them and will definitely be calling them if our other silver maples require removal.

Chris and his team did an incredible job on our property in Whitby. They trimmed our hedges that wrapped on 2 sides and onto the back of our home. They did a phenomenal job and our backyard looks so much better and brighter. The guys were polite and helpful. They took care of the lawn debris and cleaned up the lawn after they completed their job. One guy who's name is also Chris found my neighbor's phone on the road and gave it back to him. They even went above and beyond by cutting the dead bushes in front of our home when we asked for a favor. I would recommend Sarginson's tree services to all my neighbors and friends! Thanks guys!

Well yes, we gave Sarginsons Tree Service a 5 out of a 5. In all reality they are really a 100 out of a 10! Communications with the office, couldn't ask for better from quote to completion. The friendly "A" crew were promptly here. Worked together quickly as a team. Were so organized, paying attention to every detail, insuring safety to the crew, us, neighbors and property. "A" Crew you ask? AMAZING!!!! Would recommend to anyone who wants a PROFESSIONAL JOB DONE! Totally Impressed!!

We hired Sarginsons Tree Services to chip some wood piles and grind a couple of stumps and they were absolutely amazing. Chris and his team got the work done quickly and professionally and communicated exceptionally. In addition, the cleanup was done so well that you would never have known there had been piles of tree limbs before or that wood chipping had even occurred. Highly recommend them and will use them for all our future tree cutting needs.

Chris and the guys were amazing, really helped me out with cutting a really old tree that could have fallen on our new home. Chris was super helpful, understood our scenario, gave us a really good price, and cut the tree down. We left a bit of the tree so we can maybe make a treehouse for the kids in the future. Excellent team.

The owner Chris showed up promptly to give a quote on our Willow tree. He was to the point and extremely knowledgeable. Guiding us on the best way to trim the Willow to ensure it stayed healthy and gave us a clear rundown of the process. He showed up with his crew and immediately got to work. I was impressed by how quickly everything went and the quality of their equipment. His crew lead (can't remember his name) explained that Chris keeps updating their equipment, which helps them move quicker. Would recommend, professional, knowledgeable, and efficient.

We recently had a tree removed and were extremely impressed with the entire experience. The team was professional, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing. The equipment they used was top-notch, and it was obvious they invest in the right tools to get the job done safely and properly. What really stood out was the cleanup 🥰 everything was left spotless, as if the tree had never been there. Highly recommend their services to anyone needing tree removal. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The crew from Sarginsons Tree Services were top notch. Skilled at tree removal, we had 3, and excellent cleanup. Because of the snow, they ploughed the area where the trees were to be dropped which made for a thorough cleanup. The crew were polite and didn’t cut corners. Stacked wood where requested. The price was better than we’ve had with other companies. We will not hesitate to call Sarginsons again!

We used Sarginson’s tree service twice this year to address severe damage caused by the ice storm in April. We were so very impressed with this company! Both times the work was completed with care and expertise. The team was wonderful and everything looked fantastic when they were done. We found Chris, who provided the on-site quotes, to be very knowledgeable and provided fair pricing. We also appreciated that this company is excellent when it comes to difficult areas to reach and they come with all the equipment necessary to complete the work safely. The office staff are also well organized and a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely be using them again next year!

Chris removed a 30 year old poplar from our backyard that grown to over 75 feet tall. Chris arrived early as scheduled on Oct 16 with a team of 6 people, and they worked incredibly hard to cut the tree down limb by limb. They were incredibly efficient, clean, and even my neighbour was super impressed with how well they did the job, and did not leave a single leaf on either of our backyards as they cleaned up. Would highly recommend Chris and his team for any tree work you need.

We used Sarginson's to trim back our big English oak tree. They had the proper equipment and did a great job. They cleaned up the cuttings and were done in approximately one hour. They communicated with us at every step along the way. Chris and his crew were excellent to deal with. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for any tree work.

Chris and his team did an exceptional job removing several large trees from our property. They arrived punctually with all the necessary equipment and took great care to protect our lawn by laying down protective tracks, allowing the heavy cherry picker truck to access the trees without causing damage. The crew was well-organized, with multiple team members efficiently cutting and clearing debris. They used 2 wood chippers to process branches and worked swiftly while maintaining a strong focus on safety. What truly set them apart was their meticulous cleanup—when they were done, the area was spotless. Chris is highly knowledgeable about tree health and diseases, and he provided valuable guidance on which trees needed to be removed and which could be preserved. Beyond his professionalism, he was genuinely a pleasure to work with—just an all-around nice guy. I highly recommend his services without hesitation.

For anyone needing tree services, look no further than Sarginson's! They deliver on efficiency, capability, and professionalism, all while offering genuinely reasonable pricing. Their estimate was so fair, I had to ask if they were sure! Our 50-year-old Norway maple was safely removed in less than 90 minutes, with the stump gone just a couple of days later. Their quick and reliable service provides excellent value, and I'd absolutely use them again.

My husband and I contacted Sarginsons Tree Services to remove a large, unhealthy maple tree from our backyard. Chris and his team showed up on time and well prepared. The job was completed in a timely manner and the team cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend Chris and Sarginsons Tree Services, as they exceeded my expectations.

Chris and his team did a phenomenal job removing an old, rotting tree from my backyard. Before starting the job, Chris came to the house to provide a quote and answer any questions. He is a very knowledgeable and friendly person. He explained the “how” and the “why” behind the problems with our tree and how he would remove the tree and stump. On the day of the job, Chris and his team showed up on time and took very little time to remove the tree. I was so impressed with how efficiently the team operated (this is reflected by their google reviews) and even more impressed with their clean up job. They literally left my property cleaner than it was before - truly impressive. I would highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for any tree related services and I would not hesitate to use them again. They are extremely hardworking and nothing but professional. Thanks again!

Definitely would recommend Sarginson's tree services to any family or friends!

Highly recommend Chris and his team from Sarginson’s Tree Removal Services from Courtice. Chris removed a large sugar maple tree from backyard in Oshawa that was very close to house and garage and extending over to neighbours. It took 8 hrs to remove the tree and cleanup. Chris is very skilled and knowledgeable. His quotes and options provided were very reasonable and all communication was excellent. He and team worked diligently, safely and were professional and polite. A bucket truck was used to reach part of tree but for most part Chris had to climb the tree to cut down each limb carefully and they used ropes to guide. They cut up wood (as requested) and even stacked for me. (I saved some $ by not having logs removed)They removed all smaller branches and debris and used a chipper. They swept and blew away shavings as part of cleanup. I was very satisfied with the job and Chris. Would recommend for tree removal. (I didn’t get tree stump grinded as an extra cost, but may do later) Wendy

Chris and his team are super efficient and informative. He came out gave me a quote and then measured the trees to make sure that they were able to be removed. All trees passed and within no time he was back to complete the work with his team. We will be using his services again in the spring.

What a dream it was working with Chris. He is so professional - prompt - and best of all his price was so fair! He went above and beyond at my house from start to finish and the job is perfect. Thank you to this amazing team for getting the job done quickly and with 0 hiccups. Have recommended them to family who have already got quotes and are having the work done this week! 10/10 would recommend.

We hired Chris and his team to take down our massive 55 year old willow tree and 2 other trees. They also pruned two others. They were here early and stayed late until everything was finished. They cleaned up the yard after and took all the wood with them! Very hard workers. They offered to leave some of the wood that is good for burning, which we weren't aware of. So now we have firewood as well! 10/10 will use them again and would recommend to anyone! Thanks guys for the amazing job. Here are some photos of during and after!

Chris and his team at Sarginson's Tree Service did an absolutely phenomenal job removing a large tree off my property. The tree was very close to the house, causing concern. However, they were able to remove the tree and all branches / debris without provoking any damage to the building or lawn. They were quick, professional and completely tidied everything up when they were done. This crew went over and above my expectations. If you want a quality service, please hire Sarginson's Tree Service ! ! ! Many thanks ! ! ! I will be recommending your company to everyone I know ! ! !

Recently Chris and his team remove a huge maple from our front yard (needed to go). It was about 80 feet tall and was within 8 feet of our house. I watched in amazement as they took the tree down and was totally impressed with both their bravery and professionalism. The clean up after was fantastic and he even cut a few large slices for me to use in the future for a woodworking project. I would highly recommend them for tree care services
