What Our Happy Clients Are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After contacting a number of arborists to remove some shrubbery and juniper trees close to my house, Matt was the first one to respond and show up! He was able to remove them right on the spot and took the trees away the very next day. I was very impressed with his price and the speed & attention to get the job done. I would gladly use Nortree Arborists again for any tree issues on my property.

Matt did a great job taking down two trees that were hanging over my house. He took time to explain the different cuts he was doing to get the trees to fall safely. I highly recommend Nortree.

Common Questions
Tree Trimming Questions From Barrie Homeowners
When is the best time to trim trees in Barrie?
For most Barrie trees, the best time to prune is late winter through early spring — typically February through April — before new growth begins. Pruning during dormancy reduces stress on the tree and lowers the risk of insect or disease problems. Light pruning and dead wood removal can be done any time of year. Some species, like maples and birches, are best pruned in summer to avoid heavy sap loss.
How often should Barrie trees be pruned?
Most healthy trees benefit from pruning every 3 to 5 years. Fast-growing species, trees near your home, and trees over hydro lines may need attention more often. Young trees benefit from annual structural pruning during their first few years. We can recommend the right schedule for your specific Barrie property during your free estimate.
Can you prune large trees over my Barrie house?
Yes. Large trees near or over Barrie homes are one of our specialties. Our crew uses rigging to lower limbs in controlled sections, so we can safely prune trees over roofs, garages, fences, and other structures without damage. We’re fully insured and experienced with tight residential properties.
Do you offer ongoing tree maintenance in Barrie?
Yes — we offer ongoing maintenance programs for Barrie homeowners and property managers. Most clients book us annually or every 2–3 years for inspection and pruning. We’ll set up a schedule that fits your trees and your budget so nothing falls through the cracks.
