Emergency Tree Removal in Bethany

Sarginson's Tree Services Kawartha Lakes

Upon arrival, our team assessed the situation: a row of large poplar trees had suffered extensive storm damage. Several had split trunks, hanging limbs, and dangerous lean angles. The risk of falling debris and further collapse was high, especially near buildings and active outdoor areas.

Given the size and condition of the trees, complete removal was the safest course of action, so we carefully dismantled each tree section by section. The crew coordinated ground cleanup with our chipper and haul-away team, leaving the site clear and ready for the next landscaping phase.

Why Kawartha Lakes Properties Need Tree Care

The Kawartha Lakes region is home to many tree species—from towering pines and maples to fast-growing poplars and willows. Proactive tree care is essential whether you’re in Bethany, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, or nestled deep in cottage country.

Seasonal storms, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles can cause structural damage that may not be obvious to the untrained eye. Tree limbs overhanging cottages, driveways, or trails can quickly become hazards. For homeowners, property managers, and cottage caretakers, scheduling regular inspections helps avoid costly emergency removals down the line.

Tips for Managing Trees in Cottage Country

Tree Services Cottage Country & Kawartha Lakes Ontario

Living or managing properties in Kawartha Lakes comes with its own set of tree care challenges.

Here are a few tips for keeping your trees in top condition

Book a spring inspection

It’s easier to spot structural issues after the snow melts and before full foliage returns.

Watch for fungal growth

Mushrooms or bracket fungi near the base of a tree may indicate rot.

Trim back before summer

Heavy leaf loads can stress weak limbs, but pruning in late spring can reduce that burden.

Schedule fall cleanups

Clear away deadwood and keep sightlines open as leaves drop.

Use a local professional arborist

Hire someone who knows the region’s tree species and local bylaws.

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 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)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!

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.

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
