About Valley Tree Services – Ottawa’s Trusted Tree Care Partner
At Valley Tree Services, our roots run deep. Founded in 2005 by Lee Purcell, a forestry professional and lifelong nature enthusiast, the company was born from a passion for tree care and a commitment to preserving Ottawa’s green heritage. After gaining years of experience working in forests across Canada, Lee brought his expertise to Ottawa, where he saw the growing need for professional, reliable tree services.
Today, nearly two decades later, Valley Tree Services has become a pillar in the community, trusted by homeowners, businesses, and municipalities across the Ottawa region. Our team of ISA-certified arborists delivers expert care with a focus on safety, sustainability, and outstanding customer service.
From Local Beginnings to Citywide Leadership
Lee Purcell’s vision was simple: deliver tree care services that combined industry best practices with local knowledge and heart. What started as a one-person operation quickly expanded into a full-service team known for precision, professionalism, and people-first values.
We now support:
- City infrastructure projects with utility and infrastructure tree work
- Residential homeowners through services like tree pruning and hedge trimming
- Businesses and developments with municipal and commercial tree services
- Emergency response for storm damage via our emergency tree services
A Legacy Built on Trust and Results
We believe in doing things the right way, from safe tree removals and cabling & bracing to in-depth tree risk assessments and permitting guidance through the City of Ottawa’s tree bylaw.
Our reputation is rooted in results. That’s why so many Ottawa homeowners leave glowing testimonials and return to us season after season. We don’t just service trees, we build relationships.
Our Mission: Healthy Trees, Safer Communities
Valley Tree Services exists to protect Ottawa’s urban canopy while enhancing property value and public safety. Whether we’re planting new life through our tree planting services or mitigating invasive pests like the Emerald Ash Borer, we approach every job with care and clarity.
