Business Origins

How we became “your friendly neighbourhood tree guys.”

We both had a keen interest in natural and environmental sciences which led Graham to pursue studying Arboriculture, while Seth studied Environmental Biology. We independently worked for different outfits across the country gaining skills, knowledge, and experience.

Graham gained experience in all aspects of arboriculture from dealing with storm damaged trees in Southern Ontario to removing fire scorched trees in Kelowna and everything in between – climbing, rigging, proper pruning, removals, cabling/bracing, etc. As a kid he had a top-notch tree house which was the spark that ignited his passion for climbing trees. He also spent time in Northern Quebec at a family property helping to selectively log land for a cabin on the lake.

Seth gained arboriculture experience through environmental restoration – reclaiming both urban and spent agricultural lands back to native forest. He also spent time pruning and removing trees throughout the city. He spent time in the woodlot behind his grandparents farm in Ontario where he grew to love the forest.

We found ourselves in Calgary during the September snowstorm in 2014. We decided it was time to go out on our own and start a business. So we started small and quickly knew we desired to provide every aspect of care to trees and it grew from there. We started advertising at our acreage, attracting neighbours and it snowballed into a lot of work, via word of mouth. Our first big contract, stemmed from a completely satisfied customer in a very small residential job. The project that encompassed, was a complete tree care from planting, mulching, disease/insect control, pruning, removals, shrubs, etc.

Testimonials

Words from other tree loving folks

Sharon Look - Calgary, AB

What a refreshing change from dealing with the impersonal “big name” arborist companies in Calgary. Graham took my call, provided me with a reasonable estimate and skillfully pruned my flowering trees. He also knew what to do to stabilize the trunk of a tree that had begun to split and what would help our Spruce tree get healthy again. His work was done with care and he is extremely personable and delivers a high quality professional arborist service. I certainly will be calling them again for any future tree care needs.

Kim & Gladys Butler - Calgary, AB

A person can usually always take the time to criticize but not take the time to say thank you. So that's what we're doing. We really appreciate your knowledge in absolutely everything tree related and your friendly professional quality service, a person doesn't always receive that these days.

Tina & Gerry Papararo - Calgary, AB

Graham came by to give us an estimate for some work on our Aspens and ended up taking care of it while he was here.
As well, he took the time to give me some pruning tips. For anyone needing tree care, we would highly recommend Prairie
Woodlands.

Judy and Ken Burnett - Calgary, AB

The crew were very professional in the way they conducted themselves, easy to talk to and receptive to additional work that was brought after they came to site, cleanup was beyond expectations and the whole experience for us was stress free.

Jeff Fry - Calgary, AB

Thank you Graham for your all your honesty and professionalism. You gave us a quote and lived up to everything you promised. You removed our mature tree in a difficult location without causing any problems and you left our yard with no mess or without further clean up required. I strongly recommend Prairie Woodlands Tree Care to anyone. Excellent job.

Robert & Laura Phillips - Calgary, AB

Thank you Graham for coming to our home in Strathmore to look at our Swedish Aspen. You diagnosed the problem quickly and dealt with it on the spot.
Thank you for the excellent and timely service.
