Old Earth aims to reach a balance with the tree manager, tree health and environment when prescribing treatment and maintenance solutions. As a priority, practical retention and mitigation options are explored, evaluated, and implemented. Then, where risk from structural, proximal, and decay exist, further assessment and pruning or removal are performed in order to keep people and property out of harm's way.
Trees are sensitive organisms and experience stress from many biological and physical factors including heavy or improper pruning, topping, and stem or branch injury. These factors can cause unnatural growth response, weak limb attachment, structural defects, diminished esthetics and value.
Often a tree will require a schedule of maintenance to achieve and maintain vigor, splendor and an attractive structure while considering the healing capabilities of the tree.Old Earth specializes in corrective pruning, tree retention, risk mitigation; young tree development, maintenance and management solutions for home, business or estate.

Ryan and his team removed 4 huge maple trees from around the back of my shed (in a very tight space) and pruned back another 6 large trees in my back garden. They were so quick and efficient. The cleanup was immaculate. The crew was professional, friendly and they worked HARD all day to get it done. And they provide an option to donate the firewood to a local charity - so we all give back a little. I could not be happier with their service. Highly recommend!

We had a couple old stumps and a few trees to remove from our city lot. The tree was within a meter of the house and also had the cable line through it. The team was very professional and safe. No damage occurred to the house, fence or cable line. The team cleaned up the area and the kiddos were out playing in a safe environment as soon as they left. I would highly recommend this company.

This company cut branches from a tree on my property without my permission. They were hired by my neighbour, who had my permission to cut branches that were hanging over his side of our shared fence. Without contacting me directly, the company trespassed on my property and cut 8 branches that were not hanging over my neighbour’s yard, but were in fact pointing away from my neighbour’s yard. Old Earth Arborist does not seem to know anything about the laws related to the work they do, because the only parts of the tree that they could legally cut for my neighbour were the branches that hung over

Ryan and his crew came today and removed over 13 trees. Mostly maples and some pretty tall. They are professional, efficient, economical and very tidy. Their clean up is outstanding! Their prices are the most reasonable I have encountered. They have all the appropriate gear and insurance. They are like surgeons taking down the trees with a lot of consideration to all surrounding properties. Also, they donate sale from wood and mulch to local charities. I cannot recommend them enough. Thanks so much Ryan for your professionalism, skill, courtesy and attention to the tidiness of our property as well

One of the most professional services of any kind that I've encountered in St. John's. The knowledge, care, consideration, and thoughtfulness were impressive. They really know trees, and are great at balancing out human concerns with what the trees need. The communication about what they were doing was excellent, too. Highly recommended.

Ryan and his team at Old Earth Arborists did an exceptional job for me! I needed some very tall, mature trees pruned in downtown St. John’s , in an area that was difficult to access. His guidance on what to prune and what not to prune was greatly appreciated and the job they did was exceptional. I was very impressed with their equipment and abilities.
Excellent, professional service at a very fair price! Highly recommended.
