TREE REMOVAL
Safe. Honest. Local.

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.
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.
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.

I hired Brett and his crew to do a retaining wall in my front yard by my front deck, did an exceptional job, very professional thank you again Brett and your crew I'm very happy with my retainingwall 🤍Posted onEdna EsteyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brett Inc. and his team did an exceptional job at our home after the Dec 18/23 windstorm. Removing challenging, 100+ year old pine trees, along with approximately 30 or more trees and debris. The crew showed empathy, professionalism, honesty, very knowledgeable and respectful. After working a hard day and a half cleaning up our property the crew stayed a little longer to help out my elderly neighbour with some trees. We very much appreciate all the excellent work you provided and would recommend your services to anyone!Posted onMarc LundriganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Brett Inc. To landscape my yard. It was a huge undertaking that required many loads of fill, top soil, and gravel. There were dealys caused by weather and having product delivered during peak construction season. To start off with Sean was the only contractor who showed up when he said he would! He was professional, responsive to the type of work I was looking for and took his time to take measurements to produce a good accurate quote. During the job Sean was great to maintain communication with us and we made a few small changes to the plan along the way. Overall we are very happy with the results. Our yard looks like a yard now and I can't wait for the spring to see it all green. To top it off we came in under budget! I highly recommend Sean and his team for any of your landscaping needs.Posted onRomantic GeekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sean Brett and his crew took down a couple of dangerous trees (one of which was very large and very dead) on our property, and also sorted out a connection between our garden path and a small walking path between our property and the neighboring property. I would wholeheartedly recommend Brett Inc. Sean was professional, courteous, honest, communicated clearly and frequently, and showed up on time. The entire crew wore proper safety gear and was extremely professional, I was very impressed. I could tell they genuinely enjoyed the work they were doing, and taking pride in their work. I will be calling Sean up again for more work in the future - we are very happy customers.Posted onAleisha AlbrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
