CLC Tree Services Ltd

We have been riding a little high over at CLC Tree Services Ltd over the last few days. While we might know that Calvin McCallum is a pretty great guy, apparently his light has shone a little further than the CLC crew. He was recently listed as one of the top 20 Under 40 Class of 2020! Wow! "The people you see here are entrepreneurs, innovators and visionaries who are each making a difference in their field and in the city. The 20 Under 40 list is not just a celebration of y...oung, successful people, but also of the city that, despite a global pandemic, allows their successes to be possible." What an honour to be recognized amongst this worthy group of peers. Way to go Calvin! And Congratulations to the other bright and talented members of this group. Thank you all for making London a better place to live and work. #20under40 #ldnont

We happen to be partial to #trees, so think the planting of two million of them to honour veterans is a fantastic idea. How about you? Good job Canada! #treeplanting https://www.narcity.com//canadas-veterans-to-be-honoured-w

Our work is never done. This failed tree was in need of some TLC from CLC stat! Queue the #clccrew to the rescue. #treeservices #ldnont

We are so thankful for all of our amazing CLC clients. With your support with have fully booked the remainder of the 2020 #treeservices season. Thank you so much from our entire team!!! We appreciate all your patience and dedication.

Just over a year ago, we were finalists for the Better Business Bureau Serving Western Ontario Business Integrity Awards. Ten years earlier, we won that coveted award. Whether you are a finalist or winner, know that both are incredible honours. If you are unfamiliar with the BBB, they are a great resource for anyone thinking about working with a local business. They give you basic information, like how many years the company has been in business, who the owner is, the compan...y's address, and contact information, but also offer a rating and note whether the company has had any recommendations or complaints against it. It is a valuable resource for anyone contemplating hiring a company, whether that be for home improvement, vehicle repair, or another business service. In case you were wondering, CLC Tree Services has proudly been an Accredited Member since 1994, and we carry an A+ rating. Top marks! And top marks to our local BBB office for providing a great service to people and businesses in our area! #TBT #BBB #ldnont

Lest we forget. Take a moment to pause today to honour those who have served our country in wartime and in peace. Your sacrifices are appreciated beyond note. Thank you. #remembranceday #canadaremebers

"Skilled at their trade and thorough in their cleanup -- couldn't be happier with the big pruning job we hired them for!" - Karen Cleanup is a big part of any job we undertake. Our aim is to leave the jobsite in better shape than we arrive. Glad we could be of service Karen. ... #treeservices #ldnont

Did you plant a new tree in your yard this year? Good for you! There are things you should do when taking care of new trees, but other tasks that may do more harm than good. Make sure a newly planted tree gets sufficient water (newly planted trees require more frequent watering, but don't drown them!), has a layer of mulch around the base (but avoid mulch volcanos), and that it has proper pruning and fertilizing. A newly planted trees can provide years of enjoyment if treated well, so learn how to take care of your #trees early. #treecare #treeservices https://www.bhg.com//trees-shrubs/care/tree-care-mistakes/

Maple trees are beautiful, especially this time of year with their iconic blazing reds and oranges. Did you know that Norway maples are considered an invasive species though and that they are over-running native sugar #maple species? Even worse, they have been suffering from tar spot and there is a fear that the fungus might jump to our native species. If you are thinking about planting a tree this fall, please consider choosing #nativetrees. Not only do they build biodivers...ity and are better adapted to survive in our climate, but they promote the overall health of our native ecosystem. Learn the differences. Choose native. http://ow.ly/KZau50BSxcW

"We were very impressed with the service that the CLC crew provided.

Autumn is a great time to get outside and enjoy the fall colours that area trees are sharing with us.

Post From the Past: Watering Trees in the Fall ~Just a reminder that trees continue to need watering even as temperatures drop. It is all in the timing though to ensure your trees go dormant, but retain enough moisture over winter. #wateringtrees #treecare... https://clctreeservices.com/watering-trees-in-fall/

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. ~Chinese Proverb As the Chinese Proverb alludes to, any time to plant a tree is great, but now is ideal. And by now, we actually mean the fall. Autumn is a great time to #planttrees, as the ground is still warm and we often have enough wet fall days to water in and establish root systems. Plus, we are at the end of the growing cycle, so trees can put their energy towards those roots before worrying... about producing buds and growing their stems. So what are you waiting for? Go plant a tree now! https://www.ctvnews.ca//best-time-to-plant-a-tree-probably

Throwback to earlier this summer when the crew tackled a large #treeremoval job. Man that was a hot day! Far cry from the chilly mornings in October we have now. Us #treeclimbers love the fact that we get to be outside regardless of the weather though. What is your favourite part of the fall? #TBT #getoutside

The things we come across over the course of a day as an arborist. This little bit of memorabilia is going back to the homeowners. #arblife #memories

High time for a road trip for the crew! The equipment is loaded and we're ready to hit cottage country. Off for a work trip (and hopefully some fun too!). #CLCcrew #roadtrip

As summer slips into memory and fall begins, most people think about packing up their outside world and heading indoors for the winter. But did you know that CLC Tree Services Ltd works all year long? It has been a busy summer, but we are still going strong and have jobs scheduled into the winter. If you would like to get some tree work done later this winter, know that we would love to help you out! Why not enjoy the beautiful weather we are having now and leave the tree wo...rk until later. Thank you for your patience and continued support! #treeservice

Good luck to area children (and teachers) returning to school this week. The start of the 2020 school year might look a little different this year, but that doesnt mean it wont be anything but fantastic. Its all what you make of it, so make sure it is the best year ever! New season, new experiences! Youve got this! #backttoschool

"... a study conducted in Toronto revealed that people who live in neighborhoods with a higher density of trees on their streets report significantly higher health perception and less cardio-metabolic conditions. Having ten more trees on average in a city block improves health perception in ways comparable to an increase in annual personal income of 10.000 dollars or being 7 years younger. " Do you need a better reason to plant more trees? How about that the fall is an excellent time to plant trees too. So what are you waiting for? Time for some #treeplanting! https://ceoworld.biz//why-do-cities-need-trees-more-than-/

"I was extremely satisfied with the service that was given last week when that storm came through London and a tree fell on my roof. Dakota came that evening to make sure our roof was safe and we didnt have damage where rain was coming in. The next morning an amazing team came and took the tree down...I was so impressed at their safety and professional work. The clean up was done so well. Thank-you Calvin and the entire team that came and did an amazing job." ~Stephanie Always happy to know that our customers are pleased with our work. Especially when it comes to emergency storm cleanup. Downed trees can be dangerous to work with and should be left to professionals. Thank you for the 5 review Stephanie!

The storm that blasted through London Friday afternoon didn't last long, but it sure packed a wallop. Here's a tree we had to clear up with the help of our friends at Cameron Crane. #stormcleanup #EmergencyTreeServices

Happy Labour Day from everyone at CLC Tree Services Ltd. We hope everyone flies through the last long weekend of summer with sunshine and a smile!

Hard to get ahead when we keep getting storm calls like this. It seems like as soon as we finish cleaning up all the storm damage from one blast another storm blows through. Thank you to all our clients who are patient and understanding as we reschedule jobs to ensure everyone remains safe. #emergencytreecare #stormresponse

"Insect samples collected in 2019 from traps placed along the Ontario border tested positive for DNA of the oak wilt pathogen (Bretziella fagacearum)." The threat of #OakWilt is real and getting closer. Keep on the lookout for signs of this dreaded disease. Dont move firewood. Dont prune #oaktrees between April and July. Report summer leaf fall and sudden die off of oak trees to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Identification and Prevention is key in stopping Oak Wilt in Ontario. https://www.invasivespeciescentre.ca//invasive-p/oak-wilt/

Are you looking for a way to get outside and make a difference to the Forest City this summer? Why not participate in one of ReForest Londons Aftercare Programs. Newly planted trees need a little extra TLC. You can help by adding extra mulch, pulling weeds, checking tree collars, and more! Many hands makes light work. Head out to volunteer today or at one of the upcoming events. #treecare #ldnont

Did you know that August is Tree Check Month? 2020 is the International Year of Plant Health and you can do your part to keep your trees and plants healthy by getting outside and taking a closer look at them. Look for insects, signs of disease, or the threat of invasive species. If you find anything, report it to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Together with planting native species and not moving wood, we can help keep our forests (urban or otherwise) healthier. #TreeC...heckMonth #HealthyTrees https://www.newswire.ca//canada-encourages-everyone-to-get

Great news regarding the greenhouse set to be built at the London Food Bank. The project is that much closer to fruition! The material is finally on hand and the actual greenhouse will be built in the next couple of weeks. Next steps will be getting fresh produce in the ground. Even more important though is getting other landowners on board. Do you have space on your property to setup a #greenhouse to help feed people in the Forest City? Talk to John Fleming and Glen Pearson about how you can help! #communitybuilding #foodsecurity #londonontario

Happy Civic Holiday long weekend from all of us at CLC Tree Services Ltd. Stay safe and enjoy the long weekend!

It's Friday! Time to park the Bobcat for the weekend. That's something to celebrate, right Dakota! #CLCcrew #celebratethelittlethings #treeservices #ldnont

Good to hear that the threat to #oaktrees is being taken very seriously in Ontario. #OakWilt is not in Canada yet, but proper protocols need to be in place now, like NOT pruning oak trees in the summer months.

When it's lunch time, but you forgot to bring the necessary tools for the job... These are about the only tools that the #CLCcrew might ever forget while doing #treeservices work. Good thing they can improvise! #woodcookies #chopsticks #gotwood

Teamwork is essential in this line of work. As #arborists, we need to communicate effectively, and always be aware of what is going on around us and where we need to be. Safety is critical in the arboriculture industry and #teamwork helps to keep us protected every day. Its all about watching each others backs and constantly stepping up to do whats needed. We wouldnt have it any other way. #CLCcrew #arblife #treeservices

A little crane job this morning before the heat of the day kicks in. Couldn't do it without our amazing crew working hard together. These guys are machines getting it done! Thanks for the support Cameron Crane! #treeremoval #treeservice #ldnont

"On Sunday, July 19 a big storm tore a large branch off of our large London Plain in our backyard and it fell in the neighbours yard. I called at 3:00 that afternoon and Calvin and Dakota were here from a call in Exeter Ont the evening at 7 p.m. They cleaned up and made sure things were secure and safe. Dakota was back with his crew Wed at 8 a.m. and cut all the damage limbs down, cut up the big pieces for firewood for the neighbour, and were knowledgeable on everything they... did! And the clean up was fantastic! It was like they were never there or no damage had ever occurred! Super Job!!!" ~ Brian & Lorraine Thank you so much for the review Brian and Lorraine! That day was a busy one and the storm calls kept coming all last week. We are happy to step up for people in emergency situations, but the only downfall is that these #emergencytreecare jobs mean that regularly scheduled #treeservice work ends up being postponed. Our apologies for those patiently waiting for tree care, but once the worst of the storm response calls are handled, we will be back to our previous schedule. #stormresponse #ldnont

Have you noticed yellow spots on leaves of area Norway maple trees? We have too. The cause is probably Rhytisma or tar spot. While the infection wont kill a tree, it certainly leaves it looking less than aesthetically pleasing. Those yellow spots will eventually turn black and early leaf drop may occur. There isnt anything that can be done at this point in the season, but to prevent it for next year make sure to rake any infected leaves up and either burn them or bag them... for the city to compost. Leaving them to overwinter at the base of trees will likely mean new infections in subsequent seasons. #leafspot #fungalinfection #ldnont

"Excellent work by the crew from CLC Tree Services Ltd. They arrived on time with a well staffed crew and methodically set up all their gear, including a crane to remove a tree. They assessed the task at hand, formulated a plan for the removal of the tree and several large limbs on two other trees and then set to work as a team in an efficient and safe manner. The crew is professional and highly skilled. I would have no hesitation recommending CLC Tree Services." ~Andrew T Th...ank you Andrew. We pride ourselves on our teamwork and professionalism. All in a days work. #arblife #treeservices #ldnont ~

When the forecast calls for stormy weather, we pay close attention for this very reason. Got a phone call from an unfortunate homeowner yesterday after they had a tree land on their house. This is a dangerous situation that needs to be handled by professionals as quickly as possible. We were on-site as soon as we could get there, quickly assessed the situation, and jumped into action. It is never ideal, but we are glad to help. #emergencytreecare #stormresponse #ldnont

As climate change affects the environment, it also means that many species have to adapt. That might mean moving to different and more hospitable climate, but in the case of trees, relocating is a little difficult. Hence why some scientists are lending a helping hand in the migration department. Time to head north! #treeplanting #climatechange
