When to call about a tree

  • Branches are touching the roof, siding, windows or eavestroughs.
  • Low limbs are sweeping the lawn or blocking a walkway, sign or parking area.
  • There is dead or broken wood in the canopy, or a whole tree has died.
  • A storm has brought down branches that need to be cleared.

What's included

  • Pruning for shape, health and clearance
  • Limbing up (crown raising) so people, light and mowers can get underneath
  • Deadwood removal from the canopy
  • Dead and small tree removal, cut down to the stump
  • Shrub pruning and shaping
  • Storm cleanup and full haul-away of branches and debris

Who we do this for

Condo and townhouse corporations with mature spruce and pine along buildings and fences, commercial properties that need clear sightlines and safe walkways, and homeowners with trees crowding the house or yard.

When to book

Most pruning is best in late fall and winter while trees are dormant; dead and broken wood can come out any time. Avoid pruning oaks from April to July because of oak wilt. Toronto and Markham protect larger private trees with tree bylaws, so removing or badly injuring one can need a city permit; we will tell you if your job is likely to need one. Trees touching power lines are a job for the hydro utility's crew.

FAQ

Common questions

What does limbing up a tree mean?

Limbing up, or crown raising, removes the lowest branches so there is clearance underneath for people, mowers, cars and sunlight. It is common for spruce and pine that have grown down onto lawns and walkways.

When is the best time to prune trees in Ontario?

Late fall through late winter, while trees are dormant, is best for most trees. Dead or dangerous branches can be removed any time of year. Oaks should not be pruned from April to July.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Markham or Toronto?

Sometimes. Both cities have tree bylaws that protect larger trees on private property, and removing one can need a permit. Dead trees and small trees are often treated differently. We will flag it if your job is likely to need a permit.

How much does tree trimming cost?

It depends on the size and number of trees, how much is coming off, access, and how much wood has to be hauled away. We look at the trees and give you a free quote first.
