Chris and his crew removed a 60+ year old Silver Maple and a dead Ash tree from our yard. They did a great job removing the trees and cleaning up the yard after removal. They work quickly, efficiently and safely. I would recommend them without hesitation.

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.

We hired Sarginsons to take down our silver maple. They arrived at the time they said they would. Had a great organized crew that worked well together. They did a great clean up when they finished the job. I highly recommend them for your tree removal or pruning needs.

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!

Sarginson's Tree Services removed an approximately 70 year old silver maple from my backyard today.
The 5 guys were professional, safe, organized, and had great customer service.
Would recommend Sarginson if you need to remove any tree in a very unusual situation.
Thank you, Sarginson!

Sarginson's tree services were very professional as they did some tree work and tree removals around my property. The boss was very polite and understood what my needs were to have my trees properly maintained, he even educated me on things I had no idea was wrong with some of my trees. 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)

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
