The TNT Tree Service Story

TNT Tree Service started serving Manitobans in the late Nineties as a cankerworm control service utilizing tree banding in the fall and tree spraying in the spring. After working for several seasons for the original owners, Chris purchased the company in 2004. He had just finished a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Winnipeg majoring in Biology. Chris’ tree planting adventures throughout Manitoba and Alberta in the summer months led to a deep appreciation and love for the outdoors, and trees in particular. TNT Tree seemed like a perfect way to combine his education and enjoyment of the natural world into a rewarding career.

After purchasing TNT Tree service, the business expanded into general arborist services and over the years this has become the main focus of our work. We are blessed to live in a city with such a spectacular urban forest including one of the largest elm tree populations left in North America. Chris feels privileged to have this forest as his office.
