Whether you’re preparing for construction, protecting your property, or enhancing your outdoor space, professional stump and root removal is essential. We provide thorough, safe solutions to clear away stumps and roots, giving you a clean, functional space.

The Benefits of Stump and Root Removal
Whether you’re planning new landscaping, preparing for construction, or simply want peace of mind knowing your home is protected, our expert team ensures your property is safe, stable, and ready for whatever comes next.
A clear yard gives you a blank canvas to design your ideal outdoor space. Stump removal is the first step to a beautiful, functional landscape.
If stumps and roots are not properly removed, they can also cause persistent landscaping issues. Invasive roots left in the ground may continue to grow, sprouting unwanted saplings that can disrupt your yard and require ongoing maintenance. These regrowth issues can spread across your property, making it difficult to maintain a clean, organized outdoor space.
Tree roots can crack foundations, lift patios, and break underground pipes. Removing them now prevents expensive repairs later. Invasive roots and leftover stumps can lead to unwanted saplings and regrowth. Our thorough removal services stop the problem at its source.
Tree stumps and exposed roots aren’t just unattractive—they can be dangerous. They create tripping hazards, especially in areas where kids or pets play, or where people frequently walk. These obstacles can cause falls and injuries, and they can damage lawn equipment if not addressed. Uneven ground caused by roots can also make navigating your yard difficult, especially during winter when snow or ice hides these dangers.
Stumps and roots also attract pests. As they decay, they become a breeding ground for insects like termites, ants, and beetles. These pests can quickly spread to nearby plants or even your home, creating bigger problems. Rotting stumps can also encourage the growth of fungi, which can pose risks to pets and children.
Removing stumps and roots eliminates these issues and leaves your property safer and more practical. Without these obstacles, your yard will feel cleaner, more open, and easier to use.

Great Reviews of Our Toronto Tree Service
The day of the job, James and his team arrived at 7am and promptly dealt with everything, removing all trace of the trees, disposing of the wood and leaving the area spotless. From start to finish, Vista demonstrated professionalism, efficiency and a great deal of expertise. Highly recommended!
First guy I met was James. Super friendly and professional. He walked me through everything and seemed to really care about what he does. Great price with the quality of work they did too. Kudos to the whole team!
This year, I hired Vista Tree, and the difference was night and day. Not only did they fix the problems caused by the previous company, but they also reassured me that my tree is going to be OK moving forward. Their professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were outstanding.
I’m so impressed with their work that I’ve now hired them on a 10-year maintenance plan, with pruning scheduled every two years, to ensure my tree remains in great shape. If you’re debating between cost and quality, trust me—Vista Tree is worth every penny. They’ve earned my trust, and I’m thrilled to have them caring for my property.
Thank you for a job well done.
