When summer storms occur, the first trees/branches to break or fall are the dead ones.  Keeping the dead trees/branches trimmed is a fantastic way to prevent storm damage.

Kitchener-Waterloo Tree Service and Tree Removal | Tree Climbing

What is Tree Climbing?

Calvin, who is the owner and operator here at Metzger's, often climbs the trees when we are trimming or removing a tree.  This means we don't need to bring in a big boom truck which can often have an impact on your lawn.

Often times, even if the client doesn't mind having the boom truck on their property, there isn't the space.  Many trees are in backyard, or side yards, or in tight spaces that we just can't get a boom truck into.  This is why we have 2 climbers on staff for our tree removal service in Kitchener-Waterloo.

These photos were taken by Chase Photography, are of our crews doing tree removal along the LRT route on King Street in Kitchener-Waterloo.  The reason Calvin needed to climb these trees is because we were extremely limited with space.  We were working around the road construction crews, pedestrians, and there was also one lane of traffic passing by.

Kitchener-Waterloo Tree Service and Tree Removal | Removing Trees Along King Street for the LRT

The Kitchener-Waterloo area is going to see some big changes in the next coming year as we prepare for the Light Rail Transit.  http://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/aboutus/abouttheproject.asp

We are honoured to be a part of this project to help create a better public transportation system.

Yesterday we started some of the tree removal along King Street in Kitchener.  Due to the road being widened to accommodate the tracks for the Ion, trees close to the road way need to be removed.
