What recent reviews say

Staff take time to educate new plant owners and point buyers toward specialty varieties big-box stores don't stock, backed by consistent knowledge and friendly service. The family-owned operation competes on selection, plant health, and pricing honesty rather than scale, though occasional scheduling gaps with Google listings have caught at least one visitor.

Every review is five stars. Across residential projects from patios to retaining walls to full yard redesigns, reviewers consistently praise Mike's design expertise, the crew's speed and professionalism, and quality finishes that last. Site stays clean, quotes stay accurate, and changes mid-project are handled without fuss or surprise charges. The work spans interlocking stone, wood and composite decks, retaining walls, fences, and garden beds. Reviewers repeatedly note that Mike solves unusual problems (unlevelled properties, wheelchair accessibility, existing structures) with creative solutions and clear communication. Repeat clients and contractor referrals are common.

Heritage Tree Care's crew combines certified arborist knowledge with straightforward pricing and speed. Reviewers consistently report professional site work, thorough cleanup, and owner Joseph's willingness to mobilize cranes and crews for complex or hazardous removals within days of contact. Named technicians Andre, David, Jevon, and others handle everything from routine pruning to emergency stabilization. The business earned trust on urgent jobs by maintaining clear communication through insurance claims and neighbour coordination, while keeping sites cleaner than the original condition.
