Tree removal, done carefully
Some trees can't be saved. They are dead, badly decayed, leaning toward the house, or in the way of an addition or a new driveway. Removing a big tree in a small yard is careful work, and it's where an experienced crew earns its price.
We take trees down in sections, lower each piece on ropes, and keep your roof, fence and gardens clear the whole time.
When removal is the right call
- More than half the crown is dead
- Deep cracks, cavities or fungus at the base of the trunk
- A new lean toward the house, or roots lifting from the soil
- Ash trees killed by emerald ash borer
- The tree is in the way of a building project
What we do on a removal
- Tell you if the tree needs a City permit, and what's involved
- Plan where every piece will be cut and lowered
- Take the tree down in sections from the top
- Cut the trunk low, and grind the stump if you want it gone
- Chip, haul and rake, so the yard is clean when we leave
What it costs
Removing a small tree usually costs $500 to $1,200. A large tree in a tight yard, with rigging over a house, is often $2,000 to $5,000 or more. Stump grinding is priced as its own line.

Any private tree that measures 15 cm or more across the trunk needs a City permit before it comes down. The base fee is $399.77, and dead or dying trees have no fee. We'll measure the tree on the visit and tell you whether you need to apply.
Questions about tree removal
How long does a removal take?
Most yard trees come down in a day. A very large tree with lots of rigging can take longer, and we'll tell you up front.
Do you remove the stump too?
Only if you want it. Stump grinding is quoted as a separate line so you can choose.
What if the tree is on the property line?
A tree on the line belongs to both owners, so both need to agree before it comes down. It's best to talk to your neighbour first.
Can you save the tree instead?
Sometimes. If the problem is one weak union or a heavy side, cabling or a reduction can keep it standing. We'll tell you honestly which makes sense.
