Oakstead is a team of Certified Arborists, Arborist Technicians, and Horticulturalists with a focus on the environmental impact and sustainability of our work. We provide Southern Vancouver Island with professional tree, yard, and garden care for a variety of residential, commercial, and government clients.
We look forward to assisting you with your project - however big or small! Oakstead Tree & Property Care is a full service property, garden, and tree consulting company in Brentwood Bay and Duncan, British Columbia. Although we provide all the services that are common to most tree & garden service companies on Southern Vancouver Island, we are not just another tree & garden company.
We, at Oakstead, think about the future and plan for the long-term. Climate change is happening all around us, and we work hard to find the right vegetation for you that will survive these changes. You know a tree should be suitable for its location; these days though, it's not that simple. We choose our vegetation for their resilience during watering restrictions, wildlife growth, and resistance to wildfires.

Services
Oakstead Tree & Property Care is a family business that has operated in the lower Victoria island region for 10 years. Richard and Jon Heinrichs are the "roots" of this company. When one of us comes to help you, you're in good hands. In addition, we bring an enormous range of tree care knowledge from mechanical support to environmental protection.
Trees are beautiful. They give us so much and take so little. Studies show that a healthy tree on your front yard can increase property value by over $7,000. That dollar amount doesn't even factor into the mental health improvements. If these are both true, why wouldn't you want more foliage in your life?
Planting a tree is one of the most generous things you can do for the future of your property and your neighborhood. The best times to plant trees are in the Spring, once soil temperatures are warm enough, and again in the Fall, while soils are still slightly warm so that the roots can establish themselves before the winter.
A neglected fruit tree can take 3-5 year to restore. Some trees need very little pruning. It can be quite confusing. We can help you to sort all that out. What is important is that your pruning is done by someone who prunes according to the Canadian Landscape Standards or ANSI (The American National Standards Institute).
Across the Saanich Peninsula there are approximately 14 districts, and 14 different approaches to tree protection (Bylaws). These bylaws are in place primarily to ensure that minimum canopy levels will be retained over time. This is important because of all the services urban trees provide and the on-going pressures to remove them.
