Tree removal takes a tree out entirely, whether it has died, become a hazard, or just never belonged where it was planted, handling everything from the first cut to hauling the wood off site.
It is the right call once more than half the tree has died, the trunk has split or hollowed out, or construction near the roots has undermined the base. A big tree that is otherwise sound just needs trimming, not removal.
If the trunk measures more than 30 centimetres across at chest height, Toronto's private tree bylaw requires a permit before removal, along with a replacement planting plan. We handle that application and the documentation it needs as part of the job.
We remove all of the wood and brush from your property unless you specifically want firewood-length rounds left behind. On a narrow lot with laneway access only, wood comes out in smaller loads rather than one large truck delivery.
Before the saw starts, we map out where the tree will land and the path the cut sections will travel, and we lay protection over walkways, yards and driveways along that path. A century-old tree on a tight Victorian lot takes real planning to bring down without marking up the yard around it, and that planning happens before the saw does.
Call (647) 370-0523, or describe the tree and your lot and take a look at our other services while you wait to hear back.
Beyond the core list, these are the jobs we get asked about most in this neighbourhood.
Tree trimming and pruning in Cabbagetown keeps mature street trees and yard trees healthy and clear of the houses, laneways and fences that sit close beside them. The job is insured from the first branch to the last, and you see a price in writing before we touch a saw.

Dead branch removal takes down limbs that no longer have live wood, before wind or the weight of ice brings them down on their own. This is the most common call we get from Cabbagetown's older streets.

Crown thinning and canopy reduction lighten a tree's load and its wind resistance without removing it, which matters on lots where a big canopy sits close to a roof or a neighbour's property.

Tree cabling and bracing reinforce a weak union or a split trunk so a tree that is sound in every other respect can stay standing instead of coming down.
