Tree Removal Backed by Hard Work and Straight Talk

When a tree needs to come down, you want it done right – and done safely. At Brett Inc., we provide no-nonsense tree removal across Fredericton and nearby areas.

This isn’t a big franchise. We’re a small, tight-knit crew that works hard and sleeps well because of it. We’ve helped over 1,000 homeowners and businesses clean up storm damage, clear space, and remove dangerous trees without cutting corners.

Be it a massive spruce or a tight spot beside your shed, we have the gear and the grit to make it happen. We show up on time, clean up after ourselves, and take pride in every job.

As a veteran-owned business, we know what it means to serve. That’s why we answer our phones, offer 24/7 emergency support, and give fair pricing – especially to neighbors and fellow vets.

Let’s clear it out, the right way.

Situations Where Tree Removal Makes Sense

Not every tree needs to go, but sometimes, taking one down is the safest and smartest move. Here are some of the most common reasons customers around Fredericton call us for tree removal:

 

Storm Damage

Strong winds and heavy snow can leave trees leaning, split, or ready to fall (in 2020, strong winds and heavy snow brought down over 200 trees in a single Fredericton weekend, leaving many leaning, split, or ready to fall). If it looks unstable, it’s best to take it down before it causes damage.

 

Dead or Dying Trees

Trees that are rotting or no longer growing can become brittle and dangerous. We remove them safely before they fall on their own.

 

Too Close to Structures

A tree growing too close to your home, power lines, or septic system can lead to big headaches. We take it out before roots or limbs cause costly damage.

 

Overcrowding or Poor Placement

Sometimes trees are planted too close together or in the wrong spot. Removing one can give the others room to thrive – and help offset Fredericton’s 3% decline in urban tree canopy from 2015 to 2023.

 

Blocking Sunlight or View

Got a tree that’s casting too much shade or blocking your view? We’ll help open things up without harming the rest of your landscape.

 

Pest or Disease Issues

Infected or infested trees can spread problems to nearby healthy ones. Taking out the source early helps protect the rest of your property (researchers estimate the costs of real and potential impacts of forest pests in Canada to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually).

 

Insurance or Safety Concerns

Some insurance companies require removal if a tree poses a high risk. We can handle it quickly, especially if it’s flagged during a home inspection.

 

Making Space for New Projects

Planning a new driveway, addition, or garden? We’ll clear the way so you can get started without delays.

What Kinds of Trees Do We Remove?

From big maples to overgrown spruce, we’ve taken down just about everything the Fredericton area can grow. Here are some of the most common trees we’re called to remove – whether they’re dead, in the way, or just causing trouble.

 

White Spruce

A common sight across New Brunswick, these trees can grow fast and tall – sometimes too tall for comfort near homes and power lines.

 

Norway Maple

Known for its dense shade and shallow roots, this popular tree can crowd out other plants and damage driveways or foundations.

 

Sugar Maple

While beautiful in the fall, sugar maples can become hazardous if they rot or split over time, especially near buildings or walkways.

 

Red Maple

Quick-growing and often found in yards, red maples can be vulnerable to storm damage and rot, making them a frequent removal request.

White Birch

These iconic trees don’t live forever. As they age, they tend to decline quickly and may lean or break apart.

 

Poplar (Balsam Poplar or Trembling Aspen)

Poplars grow fast – but their wood is weak. If yours is cracking or shedding big limbs, we can safely take it down.

 

Willow Trees

Heavy and moisture-loving, willows can cause big issues near water lines, septic fields, and structures.

 

Eastern White Cedar

Often planted for privacy, cedars can get unruly or decline with age. We remove them when they outgrow their space or become patchy and weak.

 

Red Oak

Oaks are strong, but not invincible. If disease sets in or a storm snaps limbs, we’re ready to take them down before they fall.

 

Black Ash

Ash trees have taken a hit from pests like the emerald ash borer. If yours is dead or dying, removal is the safest step.

 

Linden (Basswood)

Large and sometimes messy, these trees can become a nuisance or hazard when planted too close to homes.

 

If you don’t see your tree type listed here – or you’re not even sure what you’re dealing with – just give us a call. We’re happy to take a look and let you know if we can help. Chances are, if it’s growing (or falling) in Fredericton, we’ve removed it before.

We make tree removal in Fredericton as smooth as possible. Here’s how it goes from the first call to a clean yard.

 

1 – Free On-Site Assessment

Call or message us, and we’ll come take a look, usually within a day or two. We’ll check out the tree and your property layout and go over what needs to be done. There is no pressure, no hidden fees, just a clear, honest quote.

 

2 – Safe, Professional Removal

Once you give us the green light, we’ll schedule a time that works for you. Our small crew shows up with the right gear, takes down the tree safely, and keeps your property protected every step of the way.

 

3 – Cleanup and Haul-Away

After the tree’s down, we clean up the area and haul everything away unless you want to keep the wood. We leave your yard broom-clean. No stray branches or mess left behind.
