Brand Origin & Milestones
Upanoak launched with a single mandate: every cut follows ANSI A300 pruning standards and every climb follows ANSI Z133 safety protocol. Certified arborist oversight on every job site from day one — no shortcuts, no untrained crews.
Behind the Equipment
Our compact tracked lift walks through a standard yard gate and stabilizes on outriggers, giving climbers a stable platform 82 feet up. It reaches canopies over pools, decks and neighbouring rooflines that a bucket truck can never touch from the street.
Every machine travels over heavy-duty ground protection matting. Load is spread across the surface instead of concentrated under a tire, preventing ruts on soft turf, sod, irrigation lines and interlock pavers — even during a wet spring removal.
Heavy-duty chippers process brush on site while our grinders take stumps 8 to 12 inches below grade so the area is ready for sod, garden beds or a new planting. Chips and debris leave with us unless you ask us to leave mulch behind.

Homeowner Reviews
“Upanoak brought their spider lift into our tight Pickering backyard through a 33-inch gate and safely dismantled a massive dead pine near our pool. Barely a mark left on the lawn!”
“They handled the entire tree removal permit application with the City of Ajax and coordinated our arborist report seamlessly. Highly recommend!”
“Fast emergency response after the storm. They cleared a huge oak limb off our driveway in Whitby within hours and cleaned up every twig.”
“Ground out 3 stubborn maple stumps 10 inches below grade so we could lay new sod right away. Professional, insured, and fair pricing.”
“Extremely knowledgeable crew. Pruned our mature oaks according to ANSI standards and left the yard cleaner than when they arrived.”
