Expect a call back before the end of the next business day. Coming out to see the tree costs you nothing.

Got it, thanks. Someone from our Port Credit office phones you back by the end of the next business day to pick a visit time. Limb already hanging over the house? Skip the wait and dial (289) 206-8283.

Arborist cutting a large broken limb that has fallen into the lower canopy over a backyard

After a windstorm or freezing rain, a broken limb may be hanging over the house, lying on the car or blocking the driveway. Wood that is twisted or under tension can spring when it is cut, so this is work for a crew with ropes and the right gear.

Call (289) 206-8283. We answer storm calls outside regular hours, bring down the hung-up wood before anything else, and leave with every last log on the truck.

What it costs

We name a storm price standing in your yard, after seeing which way the wood fell. Access, size and how much is hung up in the tree set the price. You get the number before we start cutting.

Wind off the lake hits the waterfront streets hardest

Wind coming off Lake Ontario reaches the streets near the marina, the yacht club and the mouth of the Credit River with almost nothing to slow it down. That is why our storm calls bunch up along Port Credit's lakeshore streets after a big blow. If a wire is down or a tree is on a power line, stay back and call Alectra Utilities first. We take over once the power is safe.

Questions about emergency storm damage cleanup

What should I do before you arrive?

Clear people and pets out of range of the fallen wood and whatever it rests on. Stay out from under hanging limbs. Take photos for your insurance. Do not try to pull a branch off a roof or wire.

Will my home insurance cover it?

Policies often pay when a fallen limb hits the house, garage or another covered building. Check your own policy with your broker. You get an itemized invoice plus photos to attach to the claim.

What if the tree is on a power line?

Keep 10 metres back and report it to Alectra Utilities. Alectra decides how the wire gets fixed. Once they have made it safe, our crew lifts the wood away.

Can you take care of a City tree that fell on my property?

Street trees on the boulevard are Mississauga's to fix, so start with a 311 report. When one of those is resting on your roof or across the driveway, phone us as well and we'll tell you what we can safely do.
