Built for St. Thomas and Central Elgin's mix of city lots and larger rural properties
St. Thomas itself has the same tight, mature-tree neighborhoods as a lot of Southwestern Ontario's older towns, while Central Elgin's township properties tend to run larger, with more open acreage bordering agricultural land. That mix is exactly why Out On A Limb runs both a bucket truck for tight urban access and the equipment to handle bigger lot clearing and tree removal jobs on rural-edge properties.
Ash trees across the area are also a particular concern right now, with the emerald ash borer having weakened large numbers of them, leaving brittle, hollow trunks that can fail without warning, worth a look if there's an ash tree anywhere on the property.

What St. Thomas customers are saying
"Andrew and his team did a spectacular job! They are polite, safety-conscious, and super knowledgeable! We have large, unruly cedars that Andrew has magically turned into a beautiful privacy hedge over the last few years! Also, we have a dwarf willow that needs to be trimmed very aggressively every year, and it has never looked better! Thanks, Andrew!" — Jim Y., St. Thomas, ON
