"Austin is a true professional and incredibly knowledgeable. We called Western Red Tree Services for tree pruning and a hazardous tree assessment on our Parksville property. Austin explained everything clearly and gave us peace of mind. The work was clean, efficient, and respectful of our landscape. You won’t find better arborist services on Vancouver Island!"

"I’ve worked with several tree service companies over the years, but Austin Klassen and Western Red Tree Services stand out. They helped us with storm damage cleanup and stump grinding after a major windstorm in Qualicum Beach. Fast response, great communication, and affordable. Highly recommend for emergency tree services and regular maintenance across Vancouver Island."
