-- Ottawa's Locally Owned Tree Care Company Marks a Major Milestone — Seven Years of ISA-Certified Service, 1,500+ Completed Jobs, and a Perfect Zero Property Damage Record Across the Capital Region
Green Thumb Tree Specialists Inc. is proud to celebrate a landmark milestone — seven years of delivering professional, ISA-certified tree removal and arborist services to homeowners and property managers across the Ottawa region. Since opening its doors in 2018, the locally owned, family-operated company has grown into one of Ottawa's most recognised and highest-rated tree care teams, completing more than 1,500 jobs across the capital with a perfect zero property damage claim record — an achievement the entire Green Thumb team is honoured to mark as it enters its eighth year of serving Ottawa.
A Milestone Seven Years in the Making
Founded in 2018 by ISA Certified Arborist Riley Sheldrick, Green Thumb Tree Specialists was built on a single conviction — that Ottawa homeowners deserved better. Better communication. Better pricing transparency. Better on-site safety. And most importantly, a certified arborist who would show up personally, assess the job honestly, and stand behind every single cut.
Seven years later, that conviction has shaped every one of the company's 1,500+ completed jobs across Ottawa — from routine pruning in Westboro and stump removals in Barrhaven to technically complex 80-foot tree removals beside century homes in the Glebe and same-day ice storm emergency responses across Kanata, Nepean, and Orléans.
"Reaching seven years is something our entire team is genuinely proud of," said Riley Sheldrick, Founder and Lead ISA-Certified Arborist at Green Thumb Tree Specialists. "But what means more to me than any number is the trust Ottawa homeowners have placed in us year after year. Every job we have completed — every call we answered at 2 am during an ice storm, every permit we managed, every property we left cleaner than we found it — that is what these seven years are really about. We are deeply grateful to the Ottawa community for making this milestone possible."
Seven Years of Milestones Worth Celebrating
Seven years of consistent, certified service to Ottawa homeowners has produced a record that Green Thumb Tree Specialists is proud to stand behind:
- 1,500+ Jobs Completed Across Ottawa — Across every Ottawa neighbourhood, from Centretown and Hintonburg to Gloucester, Stittsville, Manotick, Rockcliffe Park, Alta Vista, and Riverside South. Every job is completed to ISA-certified standards.
- Zero Property Damage Claims — Across seven years and 1,500+ completed jobs, Green Thumb has maintained a perfect zero property damage claim record. Every branch lowered. Every log is controlled. Every Ottawa property is protected from start to finish.
- 24/7 Emergency Response — Every Year, Every Storm — Through Ottawa's most severe ice storms and wind events, Green Thumb's team has answered the call around the clock — often arriving same-day when other Ottawa Tree Removal companies were fully booked.
- Ottawa's Fastest Permit Approval Times — Seven years of managing tree permits under Ottawa's Tree Protection By-law has made Green Thumb the most experienced permit handler in the city, consistently achieving City of Ottawa approvals in approximately two weeks against an industry standard of four to six weeks.
- Hundreds of Five-Star Reviews From Ottawa Homeowners — Verified five-star ratings across Google, HomeStars, and the Better Business Bureau reflect seven years of earning — and keeping — the trust of Ottawa families across the capital.
Rooted in Ottawa — Looking Ahead to the Next Seven Years
As Green Thumb Tree Specialists celebrates this seven-year milestone, the company's commitment to Ottawa homeowners remains as strong as the day it was founded. With an established presence serving all Ottawa communities — including Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, Orléans, Gloucester, Manotick, Westboro, Centretown, Stittsville, Rockcliffe Park, Alta Vista, and Riverside South — Green Thumb enters its eighth year with the same founding promise: certified expertise, zero-damage methodology, and genuine care for every Ottawa property and every Ottawa family it serves.
"Seven years is a celebration — but it is also a reminder of the responsibility we carry," added Sheldrick. "Ottawa homeowners trust us with their homes, their trees, and their safety. That trust is something we will never take for granted, whether it is year seven or year twenty-seven."
