A west end that sees weather
Recent storms have hit Ottawa's west end hard, and Stittsville properties know it. After high wind, keep clear of hanging limbs, split unions, new lean and moving root plates. Wires go to the electrical utility and public-road obstructions to 3-1-1 before a private crew is engaged.
Storm history is also a reason to look up before the next event: deadwood, cracked unions and over-extended limbs over targets are cheaper to address on a scheduled visit than in an emergency window.
Village-core trees and new-build lots
The older core carries mature trees close to homes, wires and lot lines, where the plan is about rigging, protection and material routes. Newer subdivisions bring compact side yards, young trees that benefit from structural pruning, and construction traffic that compacts root zones.
Removal decisions should consider alternatives, Ottawa protection rules, method, wood, stump and cleanup. If the tree relates to a construction or landscaping project, raise it early so protection and sequencing are planned rather than repaired.
Prepare a Stittsville quote request
Send the address, tree count, concern, gate width, wide photos and whether wood or chips can stay. Mention trails, shared fences, pools and parking limits. These details decide whether a simple quote or a site visit comes next.
