We believe that there's a lot of creativity involved in caring for trees. It's an art, really. We try to allow that sense of nature-led artistry trickle into all we do (and it's a whole lot more fun that way, I think). For example, check out our awesome trucks below! Have you seen us around the city? We're pretty hard to miss! If you do see us, be sure to say hi. We love meeting fellow arborists in and around Toronto. #heritagetreecare #treecare #arborist #torontoarborist#treecarecompany #smallbusiness #nowhiring

The Tree Still Sings
Heritage Tree Care Inc. together with Just be Woodsy presents:
The Tree Still Sings
As generations turn and weather patterns intensify, many mature trees are lost in our city. Most of the time, these giant beauties end their lives in the landfill. But not always.
When possible, a dedicated team of arborists and wood specialists collaborate to extract this invaluable urban resource and give it a new life in various forms.
Together Heritage Tree Care and Just Be Woodsy are the specialists behind the scenes.
The process is a full cycle.
For every tree that is cut, one is planted.

Our Jobs Over the Years
During lockdown, we had a chance to go through our old work diaries and have added all the addresses into one map just for the heck of it and to show prospective clients the extent of our experience.
HTC is happily amazed to see the amount of places/addresses/locations we have done tree work across this fine city over the years.
It seems we have High park pretty much entirely covered!.
We look forward to another 14 years and thousands of more properties in which to provide excellent tree care.
Thank you, Toronto!
