Heritage Tree Care Inc. is a well established, deeply experienced and highly regarded expert tree service based in Toronto’s west end since 2006. We have worked on countless trees in thousands of spaces across the GTA over 13years. Throughout this time our safety record and reputation have remained exemplary.

We are a progressive and thoughtful company that pride ourselves on bringing an extra layer of creative consideration to the urban treescapes we are invited to work on.

Safety is our first and foremost concern and we employ strong internal systems and protocols to ensure the safety of customers and employees at all times.

People seem to appreciate our conscientious and considered approach to the Urban forest and over time we have slowly and surely built a solid foundation of repeat and referral customers. We are set to expand operations throughout the GTA, hence we are keenly seeking to hire a selection of exceptional professionals for a great 2020 ahead.
