Climbing Bear Tree Care

Colin set up a time via e-mail to sight the hedge and arrived promptly to do the estimate (then found out that 10 other neighbours wanted their hedge done :-). A very fair quote was rec'd by all 10 and a start date set up for the following week. All 10 of the group were very pleased with the results. We (all 10) will be asking for him next fall for sure.

Very old oak tree branches on our roof and neighbours both sides. Contractor trimmed back all the overhanging branches, removed dead branches in oak and cedar.

5 star because -
a) they were here when they said they would be
b) did exactly what we wanted done
c) cleaned up all the debris
d) asked us to check we were satisfied when they were finished, before we paid.
e) were pleasant and polite

Have absolutely no hesitation about recommending them and will definitely hire them again.

Colin did a great job pruning and shaping my apple tree. He arrived on time, the tree looks great and he cleaned up all of the branches and sawdust when he was done. He was also respectful to my townhouse neighbors. Highly recommend.

After visiting my property, Colin gave me a very reasonable estimate and came back to trim the two trees not long after. The work was to trim two very large tall trees that are also close to hydro lines.
He did a great job of clearing out the deadwood and trimming lower branches to lift up the branches, as well as climbing up to get to branches further up the tree nearer the top. Left the property clear of all the cut branches and debris.
Colin was polite and professional, and Ive already recommended him to friends of mine

Colin is an amazing tree professional. He does his work in a safe and thoughtful way. We had a number of very large trees to trim in a tight urban space in downtown Ottawa. He took the time to figure out in advance how to remove the branches without danger or risk of damaging property. He was efficient, cleaned up after his work and reasonable in his prices. Highly recommend him.

After my research of tree service experts in Ottawa (thanks to HomeStars.com to facilitate my research), I finalized my top 3 companies to prune my 30-year-old Norway maple tree in the front lawn and another small tree on the side. Colin from Climbing Bear came to my house to look at the trees and told us what needed to be done. He gave us a very reasonable quote, and we decided to go ahead with Climbing Bear and booked the time for the job in the same week. Colin did an amazing job! Colin and his assistant also did a good clean-up job as well. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Exceptional work, reliable, and reasonably priced. He looked after the application to the city, a complicated removal of a dying tree, and all of the cleanup afterwards. We would recommend Colin to anyone needing tree service. In fact, both of our neighbours asked for his contact information.

It started with an emergency situation.  The contractor working on the house told us that they can't finish their job until the big branches over the roof are removed.  They didn't mention it before starting the work.  It was already Friday evening and I desperately contacted six tree removal companies.  Colin was the first to reply, came to have a look, and removed the branches.  Everything was done in a week. He saved us from paying extra for keeping the contractors.  We had him again for pruning other trees also, and now are in the process of removing two mature Manitoba Maple trees.  Professional, easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and the rate is reasonable.  Feeling so lucky to find him in Ottawa! Highly recommended.

Colin is the best in the business. Hard working, honest and professional. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him. He was very responsive to my emails and always accommodating to my needs. Great job Colin!!

Colin is a wealth of knowledge and very thorough and clearly experienced. He effortlessly planted 10 trees at our house. He ensured to provide watering and feeding tips to ensure best growth. He also returned to our home a few days later to ensure all was in order with the trees. Highly recommended for any tree planting, removal or maintenance projects.
