How We Work
We start with a free visit. We look at each tree with you, listen to what is bothering you and explain what we see. After that, we send a written quote with a clear list of the work.
On work day, our arborists set up before cutting a single branch. Tarps go down over plants, and ropes are rigged to lower wood away from the house. We cut, lower and chip as we go, then rake, blow and sweep before we leave.
If anything changes during the job, we stop and talk with you before doing more. The price on the quote is the price you pay.
What Makes Tree Work In The Kingsway Different
The Kingsway was laid out by Robert Home Smith, who bought land along the Humber River in the early 1900s. The first two houses were built on The Kingsway in 1924, and about 665 homes went up in Kingsway Park by 1947. Buyers had to follow strict rules, including architect-designed plans and outer walls made only of stone, brick or stucco.
For a tree crew, that history shows up on the roof. Steep gables, deep valleys and tall chimneys are common here, and some roofs still carry slate or clay tile, and the trees beside them are now very tall. Almost every job has a roof or chimney close by. That means careful rigging and slow, steady work.
The Humber valley adds another layer. Lots near the river sit on loose slopes, and some fall under Toronto's ravine by-law. We check the rules for each property before we give you a price.
What Sets Us Apart
We plan every cut around the house, not just the tree. Heavy limbs come down on ropes instead of falling. Every quote is written, and every quote is free. We tell you when a tree needs a permit, and we tell you honestly when a tree should stay, even if that means a smaller job for us.
