How tree removal works
We take trees down in sections, from the top, and lower each piece on a rope. That keeps the roof, the fence and the neighbour's yard safe, even when there is no room to drop the tree in one piece.
Removal is the last choice, not the first. If trimming, thinning or a cable can save the tree, we tell you so.
When a tree should come down
- The tree is dead, or more than half the crown is bare
- The trunk has a deep split or a large hollow
- It leans toward the house and the lean is getting worse
- Mushrooms grow at the base, a sign of root rot
- Roots are lifting the driveway or pushing on the foundation
What happens on the day
- We confirm the permit is in place if the tree needs one.
- The climber takes off the limbs, then the trunk in sections.
- Each piece is lowered to the ground crew on a rope.
- Wood is hauled away or cut to firewood length, your choice.
What it usually costs
Taking out a small tree tends to land between $500 and $1,200. A big tree boxed in by a garage and fences can run from $2,000 to past $5,000. The stump shows up as its own line, so grinding it is your call.
Get my written priceTight village lots mean roping every piece
Many lots near the old village core are narrow, with a garage, a shed and a fence all close to the tree. There is rarely room to fell a tree whole, so each section is roped down. If the trunk measures 15 cm or wider, a City permit comes first: $399.77 when the tree is healthy, nothing when it is dead.
Questions about tree removal
When is removal better than trimming?
When the tree has deep decay, a split trunk, a serious lean toward a building, or root damage that trimming cannot fix. We explain which one applies before we recommend it.
Do I need a permit to take a tree down?
Once the trunk measures 15 cm or wider, yes. The City charges $399.77 to start and $139.72 for each further healthy tree, waives the charge for dead or dying ones, and may need up to 30 business days.
What happens to the wood?
We chip the branches and haul the logs away. If you would like firewood, we can cut it to length and stack it for you.
Will the truck damage my lawn?
We lay ground mats where equipment has to cross the grass, and we use ropes rather than dropping heavy pieces.
