01
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
While there is little doubt that our increasing human population has put pressure on the natural world, there is still plenty that humans can do to lessen that burden and help the natural environment around them thrive!
02
SUSTAINABILITY
Low impact tree cuts to ensure the continued health of your trees and achieve stability and safety.
03
MINIMIZING WASTE
We aim to protect our environment by prioritizing recycling. We transform most of our trimmed branches into fresh organic wood chips which are used in residential garden beds and in most city parks here on the North Shore.
04
MAXIMIZING REUSE
We cut large slabs of wood from removed trees for those customers who choose to repurpose it into a beautiful piece of furniture for their homes.
05
COMMUNITY
Local means everything to us. Serving our community for more than 6 years gives us opportunity to become involved in different local opportunities.

COMPLETED PROJECTS
Annual hedge trimming
This beautiful hedge in the Ridgeway area is our annual project. It took a few years to restore it to a healthy, attractive condition.
View maintenance
Another of our annual projects is maintaining this 'view window.' While we're up in the tree for maintenance, we also have the opportunity to assess its condition and determine if it requires any further attention to prevent potential hazards.
Hazardous tree removal
We always aim to preserve the tree first, but sometimes removal is necessary due to high hazard. When that happens, we focus on sustainability by reusing the wood. In this case, large Western Cedar logs were donated to the Squamish First Nation for their ceremonies.
Dead tree removal using an aerial lift
The safety of our crew and our clients' property is our top priority. It's important to recognize when it's time to bring in heavy-duty machinery. For our North Vancouver client, a rotten dead tree in the backyard posed a risk, so we used a lift to safely remove it.
Bracing
This is an example of a bracing technique performed by one of our certified arborists. Bracing helps stabilize trees that have been previously topped.
REVIEWS
The workers at Take A Bough did a fantastic job clearing dead branches, getting rid of “suckers “ and pruning back our tree. They even came back to trim back a few branches that I mentioned needed a little more pruning. The tools they used didn’t impact the environment of our garden. They also cleaned up after finishing. Overall I would recommend them to anyone needing help with their tree!
