Dead branch removal gets grey, leafless limbs out of Kingsway maples and oaks before one breaks loose and punches through slate, a windshield or a porch roof. Each job is fully insured, and the quote says exactly which limbs are coming off.
Dead limbs are the first thing to break in a windstorm, and in a mature canopy they can be large. A dead maple limb as thick as a leg can weigh more than 200 pounds. On these streets that weight often hangs over clay tile or slate, which cracks easily and is costly to match.
We climb or use a lift to reach each dead branch, cut it back to healthy wood and lower it on a rope. Nothing is dropped over the house. Small wood is chipped on site and the larger pieces are hauled away.
Clearing deadwood from one Toronto tree is often priced from $300 to $900, and reach plus limb count set where it falls. You get a written number before we start.
Summer is the easiest time to spot one. In July, a dead limb stands out bare against green leaves. The bark may be loose, cracked or falling off, and you may see fungus growing on it. If you are not sure, scratch a twig with your thumbnail. Green under the bark means it is still alive.
The side that faces the house often gets less light, especially next to a tall Tudor roof that blocks the sun for part of the day. Branches in deep shade slowly die off. Root damage from old paving, a new addition or a patio can also kill limbs on one side.
Toronto lost nearly all its ash to the emerald ash borer beetle. Any that are still standing are usually very brittle. If it is on your lot, we can take off the dead limbs or remove the whole tree. If it is a City tree on the boulevard, call 311.
Branches go through the chipper right in the driveway. Logs are hauled away unless you would like some left for firewood. We rake and blow the area before the truck leaves.
A dry limb hanging over the roof is worth dealing with before the next wind. We can usually come to look within a few days. Snap a picture of the limb and send it through the box on our front page. Phoning (647) 370-3513 works just as well.
Most tree problems link to one another, so these services often go together on one visit.
