Our tree felling and removing services include tree removal, shrub and hedge removal, felling, and emergency tree removal. We can remove trees of all shapes and sizes. We also do commercial tree removal for construction and renovation.

We are able to remove trees in tight spaces where felling the tree isn’t possible, using advanced techniques and equipment. This is challenging, precise work that only a professional arborist should undertake. When necessary, we use Spyder lifts, cranes and skid steers to make the removal process safe and efficient. No matter what technique we use, we do a meticulous clean of your property when we’re done.If your tree requires a permit, we will write the arborist report for you and submit the application on your behalf. Toronto tree removal bylaws require a permit to remove trees wider than 30 cm in diameter. That’s a trunk roughly the size of a telephone post at 4.5ft, for reference.

Most trees in Toronto are removed for construction, followed by the tree being hazardous. Tree hazards are not the same as tree problems. The risk a tree poses can only be assessed by a certified arborist trained in tree risk assessment. If you feel your tree is a risk, contact us to get a free assessment.

Storm damage is another common reason for trees to be removed. After a wind or ice storm, trees many have significant damage and may need to be removed for safety. Signs of risk include broken branches, cracks or splits, tree roots moving and significant changes to the tree after a storm.

If something is wrong with your tree, it may be a problem with how it has grown, or damage that occurred in the past. The best way to handle the tree problem is to have it assessed before it becomes a bigger issue.

First, read our post about how to tell if your tree is dangerous. If the tree is small, it may be removed right away. If it is a large tree, however, you will have to get a permit to remove it. You are allowed to remove trees from your property without a permit only when it is an imminent hazard and the city grants an exemption.

For this application, you’ll need to prove the tree is at imminent risk of failure which means it could fall at any minute and is likely to harm someone or cause property damage. This threshold is very high. An arborist report can help you make the argument to the city that the tree needs to go. If the tree is entirely dead, no permit is required but proof must still be retained and submitted.

If your tree qualifies for an exemption as a hazardous tree or is dead (died naturally or destroyed in a storm), you’ll need to remove it as soon as possible. The maximum time allotted by the city is 72 hours after granting an exemption.

Since tree companies are generally very busy during summer and after storms, it is better to consult with an arborist before you contact the city. Since you’ll need to remove the tree on an emergency basis, it is better to have a tree removal company in place before you receive approval.
If your tree doesn’t receive an exemption, you can still remove it through the regular tree permit process.

When you’re searching for a tree company, getting a professional, locally owned option is tough. Big box companies aren’t local, and they don’t offer the high quality or customer service you need. On the other hand, how can you tell if a small, locally owned tree company is trustworthy? We have a list of the best tree removal companies in Toronto, and the best smaller, local tree removal companies as well.

Our tree removal service is fully insured. We are certified arborists with diplomas in Urban Arboriculture from Humber College, among many other credentials and certifications. We are a professional, family-owned business with employees located in the City of Toronto. We’re big enough to handle all your needs, and small enough to care about all the details deeply.
