Here are the questions Kingsway homeowners ask us most about permits, roofs, storms and stumps.
Call (647) 370-3513, and we will answer it over the phone or on a free visit.
Kingsway Park filled in between 1924 and 1947, and shade trees went in just steps from each new front door. Almost a hundred years later, many of those trees are taller than the houses. Their limbs spread over steep roofs and chimneys unless they are trimmed back every few years.
For a private tree 30 cm or more across at 1.4 m high, yes. Toronto's Private Tree By-law requires a permit. Once a trunk reaches 61 cm across, it now counts as a distinctive tree, and Toronto is allowed to say no to cutting it down. On ravine lots near the Humber, a separate by-law may also apply.
We aim to arrive the same day or early the next morning. Trees on roofs, cars and driveways are handled first. Call (647) 370-3513 as soon as it is safe.
It is priced separately on the same quote, so you can choose. Most people add it. We can grind right after the removal or come back later.
Yes, when the limbs are lowered on ropes instead of dropped. We tie off each branch over the roof and swing it away from the house before cutting. That keeps weight off fragile tiles.
When a trunk straddles two lots, Ontario law treats it as shared. Each owner has a say in heavy pruning or removal, and each signs any permit. Both households are welcome on the same walk-through.
