TREEWORKS How They Started, to Where They Are
Conrad and Brennan Lanouette are the proud owners and founders of TREEWORKS Professional Tree Care. The Lanouette brothers’ passion for trees and the great outdoors started when they were just small boys on their parents 150-acre farm/woodlot outside of Lakefield, Ontario.
Knowing that they wanted to work outdoors and with their hands, both boys attended programs at Fleming College in Lindsay to further their outdoor skills. Conrad, 15 months older than Brennan, first enrolled in the two-year forestry technician program; and at the same time, Brennan began taking the heavy equipment operator program while he worked after classes towards receiving his AZ driver’s license. Once they had completed their individual programs, they furthered their achievements by enrolling in Fleming’s arboriculture program. It wasn’t long before they were nicknamed by their classmates and teachers as “the brothers”. They both successfully graduated and then took their incredible amount of knowledge and safety awareness into the field.
A few months later, the thought of running their own business sprung to mind. To make this dream a reality, they decided to prepare themselves for all aspects of running a successful business by enrolling in a business course. With the course completed, and with the help of their father and his great mind for business, their goals were reached – it was time to start their entrepreneurship.
Well prepared, the brothers put their superior work ethic and dedication to the test by starting their business, TREEWORKS, in 2009. They began by working out of their chicken coop with an old hydro 1981 Bandit chipper and old dodge 3500 that their dad found for them – fast forward 13 years, TREEWORKS now has 11 trucks on the road and 4 chippers.
