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

A big thank you to Sarginson's Tree Services for doing a fantastic job heavily pruning our 50 year old sunburst locust tree. They had the equipment and manpower to handle the task and did a very thorough cleanup once the pruning was finished. As an added bonus they blew the leaves out of the gutters while up there in their bucket truck!

I have used Sarginson's Tree services throughout the years. The team would be above and beyond service.
Not only was the work done well and neatly the team also communicated really well for a site visit and when they was doing the work. Great communication is hard to find these days and this makes things so much easier. I've also recommended Sarginsons to friends and family and they have all had great experiences. Keep up the good work!

Chris and his team did a fantastic job on our two giant honey locusts that really needed some major trimming of dead branches and taking down a cedar pushing against a neighbours garage. We had booked through another company and the original subcontractor had been a no show. Sarginson’s came out with just two days noticed. They were told it would be a half days work but quickly realized it would be a full day job. Regardless, they finished the whole job and even took the time to give us advice on other trees in the yard as this is our first summer in our house. They team was super efficient and friendly and did a great job with clean up. We will be contacting them directly for our future needs!

Chris and his team recently helped us trim 5 trees. Great service and the job was really quick. After trimming, the clean up was done really well and no debris was left behind. Recommend Sarginson's to anyone who is looking for landscape services. Will be using their services in the future! 😊

Fantastic guys, took our huge blue spruce down in just over an hour. No damage to the house or hydro lines as the tree was smack dab in the middle. Will definitely recommend to anyone asking for tree service.

My wife and I watched Chris dance around 5 large poplars that survived the windstorm last week but were threatening our garage. An absolute wizard with a chainsaw. His approach was a pleasure to watch. His equipment was top of the line and total safety was the priority. Two of the trees were fairly precarious in proximity to the garage but he definitely has vast experience in limbing and rigging so no damage was incurred.
HIGHLY recommend Chris . Great service all around👍👍👍

Very pleased with the work that was done. Chris did a very professional job for us. We are able to enjoy our view of the lake again. The “widow makers” are gone, all cleaned up and tidy again.
