OTTAWA, ON – July 28, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Croft Tree Experts, a certified and insured arboriculture company serving the Ottawa region since 2015, has expanded its commercial tree services division to serve a growing number of business properties, property management firms, and municipal contracts across the region. The expansion adds capacity for large-scale risk assessment, compliance-driven pruning, and ongoing maintenance programs designed for commercial and institutional landholders.
The move responds to increased demand from businesses navigating Ottawa’s Tree Protection Bylaw, which requires permits for trees above a certain trunk diameter and carries fines ranging from $500 to $100,000 for unauthorized removal. Commercial property managers and municipal contractors are increasingly seeking arborists who can combine technical tree care with bylaw compliance, liability management, and long-term maintenance planning rather than one-time service calls.
The timing follows a period of increased bylaw enforcement across the region, as well as growing recognition among commercial landholders that deferred tree maintenance carries both safety and financial risk. Insurance reviews and municipal audits have pushed more property managers to seek documented, proactive tree care rather than addressing issues only after storm damage or a resident complaint. Croft Tree Experts has structured its expanded commercial division to meet that shift directly, with dedicated scheduling for multi-property clients and standardized documentation that can be provided to municipalities or insurers on request.
Croft Tree Experts’ commercial offering now includes expanded scheduling capacity for commercial tree pruning in Ottawa business parks, retail plazas, and multi-unit properties, along with risk assessments for aging tree stock near parking areas, walkways, and building structures. The company’s arborists work with property managers to develop maintenance schedules that reduce liability exposure while preserving mature tree canopy, a factor increasingly weighed in municipal and commercial landscaping standards.
Each commercial engagement begins with an on-site inspection of the property’s full tree inventory, followed by a written risk assessment that flags structural concerns, proximity to utility lines or foot traffic, and any bylaw considerations tied to trunk diameter or protected status. From there, Croft Tree Experts builds a maintenance schedule tailored to the property’s size and use, rather than treating each visit as an isolated service call.
“Commercial clients are not just looking for someone to cut a tree down. They need a partner who understands bylaw requirements, documentation, and how tree health affects long-term property value,” said David Koshurba, co-founder and ISA Certified Arborist at Croft Tree Experts. “Expanding this side of the business lets us bring the same inspection and risk-assessment process we use residentially to properties with dozens or hundreds of trees.”
The company reports that requests for reliable commercial tree service in Ottawa from municipal and property management clients have grown steadily over the past two years, driven in part by aging urban tree canopy and stricter enforcement of local tree protection rules. Croft Tree Experts’ team includes ISA-certified arborists and a forest technician with a combined 65 years of industry experience, and all staff are covered under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.
“A lot of commercial properties defer tree maintenance until there’s a storm or a complaint,” said Kyle Hewitt, co-founder of Croft Tree Experts. “Our goal with this expansion is to give property managers and municipal partners a proactive option instead, with documented inspections and a maintenance plan they can rely on year over year.”
Croft Tree Experts is a locally owned and operated tree care company serving Ottawa and the surrounding Valley region since 2015. Founded by David Koshurba and Kyle Hewitt, the company provides tree removal, pruning, stump grinding, planting, risk assessment, storm damage cleanup, and commercial tree care, delivered by ISA-certified arborists and WSIB-insured staff with a combined 65 years of industry experience.
