“Fabulous lower north shore job by AATree Services, excellent customer service, prompt response and competitive pricing.”
Linda Greene
“Well, it’s been weeks since AA Tree Service, Ahmed and his team removed a massive bamboo from my front garden. Every time I step out of my house, I am delighted and relieved. They were quick and efficient from the first text message to the end of the job upfront with all communications, including insurances, competitively priced and very easy to talk with. I highly recommend AA Tree Service to anyone I talk to in my neighbourhood. And will use them again in the future.”

“A Local Expert You Can Trust Ahmed and his team helped me cut down a tree and trim some branches that were very close to the power lines. They were professional, skilled, and attentive. They listened carefully, offered expert advice, and gave a very reasonable price. They also did a great job cleaning up afterward.”
Crystal Cheung
“AA Tree Service provided excellent service. The tree was in a very dangerous condition, and they removed it safely and professionally. The pricing was fair and reasonable, especially considering the level of risk involved. There was no damage to the fence or surrounding area, and everything was cleaned up thoroughly after the job. I’m very happy with the result and would highly recommend AA Tree Service to others.”
