Tree removal takes down a dead, dying or unsafe tree in small, controlled pieces so nothing lands on the house. All of the work is fully insured, and a written quote lists the tree, the permit status and the cleanup before anything is cut.
Dropping a whole tree in one go is almost never an option on these lots. The trees are tall, the houses are close and the yards are full of stone walls, flower beds and old paths. We climb the tree or use a crane or lift, then cut it from the top down. Each piece is tied off and lowered to the ground on a rope.
Before we quote, we check whether the tree needs a City permit. Any private trunk measuring 30 cm or wider at 1.4 m off the ground falls under Toronto's permit rule. Since September 1, 2026, a tree 61 cm or wider is called a distinctive tree, and the City can refuse to allow it to be removed. Properties stepping down into the Humber valley may also answer to Chapter 658, the ravine by-law.
Taking out one tree here often comes to something like $900 to $4,000. Giants hanging over a Tudor roof, or crane jobs, run higher. Your written quote is the real answer.
Common reasons are major decay in the trunk, a large split, heavy root damage, a dead crown or a lean that keeps getting worse. We also look at what is under the tree. A problem tree over an empty lawn is less urgent than the same tree over a bedroom.
It depends on the season and the size of the tree. The City can take several weeks to a few months to review an application. Dead or badly damaged trees may be handled faster. We tell you what forms to send and what photos help.
Yes. Trees growing right against a stone or brick wall are common here. We cut the trunk down in short sections, then grind the stump carefully so the foundation is not disturbed. Big roots near the wall are cut by hand instead of torn out.
It is not included unless you ask. Many people want it, so we price it on the same quote as a separate line. That way you can choose.
To plan a tree removal, tell us about the tree and what stands near it. We visit, check if a permit is needed and write out a price. Call (647) 370-3513, or head back to our home page to send the details online.
Most tree problems link to one another, so these services often go together on one visit.
