“Had a dead ash near my well. Robert came out, explained exactly why it had to come down, and removed it cleanly. No mess, no surprises. He knew the regulations around the property too.”
“My cedar hedge was overgrown and ragged. He shaped it back without killing it. Looks like it did twenty years ago. Professional work, fair price, and he cleaned up every branch.”
“Two old stumps from a windstorm sat in my pasture for three years. He ground them out to below grade so I could work the land again. Machine was efficient and the job was done in one morning.”
“Ice storm took down half a spruce across my driveway. Robert came the next day, bucked it up, chipped the branches, and hauled the wood. Reliable and quick when you need it.”
Tree Trimming in Sherwood No. 159: Deadwood and Rubbing Limbs
Sherwood No. 159 wraps around Regina with acreages and farmyards on every grid road. Out here, trees grow larger and older than they do in town, and they grow into problems: dead elm limbs hanging over the roof, branches rubbing the garage, limbs crossing and wearing each other raw. I trim these trees myself rather than running a crew on a schedule, which is why nothing I touch comes back looking hacked. I take out the deadwood first, then the limbs that threaten your buildings or power lines to your house, then the branches that are fighting each other. What's left is the tree's own shape, stronger and cleaner than when I arrived.
The big elms on rural properties need care, and I work only inside the permitted season so the tree can heal properly. I will tell you when that is rather than quietly doing it anyway. Everything gets chipped on site, no mess left behind, no debris scattered across the yard. I climb the tree myself, so I see what's actually happening up there and I don't cut what doesn't need cutting. A free estimate costs nothing and takes the guesswork out of the job.

Tree Removal in Sherwood No. 159: Tight Spaces, Smart Strategy
I get called to Sherwood No. 159 for the removals that need a steady hand and a plan. The acreages and farmyards spread across the grid roads out of town mean I'm working in tight quarters most days: a Manitoba maple split over someone's garage, a back yard I can only reach down a lane, a spruce planted a metre from the foundation decades ago. Those are the jobs where I dismantle the tree in sections and lower every piece on a rope instead of dropping anything. It takes longer, but it keeps your roof, your fence and your neighbour's property safe. Cleanup is in my price.
When I have room to work, I'll tell you straight: a directional fell is faster and cheaper, and I won't charge you for a climb you do not need. I've seen enough trees on acreages where a clean drop is the right call, and I say so rather than overselling the job. Elm wood in this area falls under provincial rules, so I handle the compliance side and make sure the wood is managed correctly. You don't have to think about it.
If you're in Sherwood No. 159 and a tree is coming down, call me for a free estimate. I'll walk the site, show you how I'll do it, and tell you what it costs before I start.
Hedge Trimming in Sherwood No. 159: Prairie Acreages Need Year-Round Care
Out on the grid roads around Sherwood No. 159, I see a lot of caragana, lilac and cotoneaster shelterbelts, and plenty of spruce hedges too. The principle of cutting them is always the same, but the prairie climate here makes the work more urgent than people realize. I taper both faces so the top is narrower than the base, that way light reaches the lower growth. Once the base of a hedge goes bare on these acreages, it does not come back, and the wind just gets worse through the gap.
If your hedge has run away on you over the years, I bring it down over two or three seasons instead of shocking it in one hard cut. That staged approach keeps the plant alive and lets new shoots fill in from the sides. Along the street frontage I also check for salt burn, which looks like disease but is not, it comes from winter road treatment and needs different management than pest damage. Every clipping gets cleared, including whatever lands on your neighbour's property. I chip what I can and haul the rest.
The acreages here sit exposed, so a well-maintained hedge earns its keep as a windbreak and privacy screen. Call me for a free estimate and I will walk the line with you and explain what I see.
Stump Grinding in Sherwood No. 159 After Tree Removal
Once I fell a tree on an acreage or farmyard out here in Sherwood No. 159, the stump is what keeps annoying you. It catches the mower blade, it draws ants into the yard, and you cannot plant anything in that same spot for years. That is when I bring the grinder in, usually straight down the back lane or through the gate, depending on how the property sits. I take the stump well below grade so you can put soil and sod right over it, or even plant a shrub there later without hitting old wood.
The rural ground around here is mostly clay, and that changes how I schedule the work. When the soil is dry, Regina gumbo sets like cement, and grinding becomes slow and hard on the equipment. I prefer to come in after a good rain has softened the ground, because that means cleaner cuts, faster work, and a fairer result for your pocket. The chips that come out either leave with me in the truck or stay in a pile at the edge of your beds if you want them for mulch or fill.
I have been doing this work long enough to know the gates, the lanes, and the terrain on every grid road out of town. If you have just had a tree removed and the stump is in your way, call me for a free estimate and we will sort out the best time to grind it down.
Sherwood No. 159, as the arborist sees it
When I drive the grid roads out of Regina into Sherwood No. 159, the landscape shifts. The acreages and farmyards spread across every concession line, and the trees change with them. I see mature maples and oaks that were planted decades ago around old homesteads, spruce windbreaks running north to south, and cedar hedges marking property lines. The soil here is Saskatchewan clay, which means trees root deep but also means I need to plan carefully when I'm working near foundations or septic fields. Winter brings ice storms that snap branches clean off, and the freeze-thaw cycle works on stumps year after year. Spring mud slows the truck down, but it also means I can see exactly which trees survived the winter and which ones didn't.
What makes the work different out here is the space and the isolation. I'm not working in a backyard ten metres from a neighbour's deck. I have room to drop wood, to manoeuvre my chipper, to set up safely. But that also means I'm covering more ground between jobs, and the acreage owners often have multiple trees they've been watching for years. I see a lot of dead ash on these properties now, and I see storm damage that sits for months because the owner is waiting for the right contractor. I work across Emerald Ash Borer territory, and I document what I find so owners can plan ahead. The rural character of Sherwood No. 159 means I'm doing land clearing work, hedge maintenance, and stump grinding jobs that you simply don't see in town.
