Hamilton, ON – Dominion Tree Service in Windsor, Ontario, and Mountain Maple Garden & Tree Service, in Vancouver, British Columbia, have joined Davey Tree Expert Company of Canada.
Dominion provides residential and commercial tree care services, operating out of its office in Windsor, On. Dominion has approximately a dozen employees, all of which will be retained. The owner, Robert Laliberty, is also staying on as a production manager in the new Davey Windsor office.
“I wanted to take care of my employees and my clients,” Laliberty said. “With this change, Dominion clients will benefit from more extensive service offerings, including Davey’s wide range of plant health care options. Additionally, employees at Dominion will be exposed to more education and training opportunities, as well as the opportunity to become employee-owners and grow within the Davey Company.”
Current Davey employee Alexandria Buchanan will be the new district manager for Davey Tree Windsor. Buchanan has worked on multiple Davey Windsor-based projects. Most recently she worked on a large telecommunications project for Bell Canada. This entailed several Davey crews being dispatched and managed to ensure proper pruning specifications were executed for the client to install new fiberoptic cable lines for all the neighborhood communities in Windsor.
“We have a great group of people who are very knowledgeable and share a love for this industry,” Buchanan said. “I look forward to working with Rob to make Davey a staple in the Windsor community.”
In western Canada, Mountain Maple, an urban forestry and arboricultural consulting firm based in Vancouver, will be adding a handful of arborists to the Davey Resource Group consulting team.
The owner of the company is Kerin Matthews and her team holds numerous industry certifications as International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborists and Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) Certified Tree Risk Assessors.
“I have great respect for the Davey Company, its history, products and services, and I welcome the opportunity to work with the best in the industry,” Matthews said. “Mountain Maple will bring our experience and expertise on construction and development to Davey clients, and Davey will allow us to expand on the types of services we offer our clients.”
