Got it, thanks. Our office phones back to pick a visit time, normally before the following business day wraps up. Tree already on the house? Ring (289) 206-8532 right now.
Past a certain point, a tree is a liability. A dead ash, a maple leaning over the house or a tree with a rotten trunk is safer gone.
We take trees down in small sections, lower each piece on a rope and keep the lawn, the fence and the driveway clean. We also tell you up front if the city needs a permit.
When a tree should come down
- The tree is dead or more than half the crown is bare
- The trunk has a deep crack, a cavity or soft rot
- The tree has started to lean more than it used to
- Roots have lifted the soil or been cut by digging
- The tree stands too close to the house to grow safely
How a removal goes
- Check the tree, the drop zone and the permit need
- Climb or use a bucket truck to take the crown down in pieces
- Lower the trunk in sections instead of felling it in one go
- Chip the brush, haul the wood and rake the site
What it costs
Small trees tend to land between $500 and $1,200. A tall one squeezed into a fenced backyard can reach $2,000 to $5,000+. Stump grinding sits on its own line, and the paper quote is what you pay.

Yards on the west edge of East Credit slope down toward the Credit River. There is little flat ground to land wood, and a slip on the bank is easy. We rig more of the tree on ropes there and carry the wood up by hand when needed.
Questions about tree removal
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Only when the trunk reaches 15 cm. Then it is $399.77 for the first tree and $139.72 more for each healthy one after it, with up to 30 business days for review. Dead or dying trees go through free.
Will the city make me plant a new tree?
Most likely. Count one native sapling per 15 cm of trunk that comes out.
Will removal damage my lawn?
We lower wood on ropes and lay down mats where machines roll. Most lawns look normal again within a few weeks.
Can you remove a tree on the boulevard?
Boulevard trees are city property. Phone 311 and the city sends its own crew.
