Heritage Tree Care is a passionate team of educated, skilled and highly experienced arborists working out of Toronto’s Parkdale neighbourhood since 2006. From large technical removals in tight downtown locations, to precision pruning of every possible species and size, we have performed thousands of jobs throughout the GTA over many years.
In that time, we have maintained an exemplary, steadfast reputation amongst our peers, competitors, one-time and repeat clients. (And we‘ve got the recognition to prove it.)
We offer some of the best perks around, leading the industry in the work-life balance revolution, offering a four-day work week to our hard-working team, as well as excellent pay and work flexibility.
At HTC, we encourage and financially support our close-knit team members to pursue varied careers in arboriculture. From technical skills advancement and training to furthering academic studies within the field, team members are mentored by an ISA board-certified master arborist and a strong management team.
Safety is our first and foremost concern. We employ robust internal systems and protocols to ensure optimal safety on our job sites at all times.
We are constantly improving our infrastructure to run smooth operations. With the help of a dedicated team, daily activities and safety protocols are maintained to ensure everyone is happy, and well-looked after at all times (trees included). On the technical side, we use Jobber, an in-field software program, to help us organize work orders, articulate job specs, delegate crew members, and line up jobs weeks in advance.
After 16 years of hard graft and quality tree work, we’ve emerged as an industry leader in the GTA. Join our team as a junior pro and grow your career in the field. We’re eager to work and have a great season with you!
