Straight answers on prices, permits and what happens on the day. If yours is not here, ask on the form or call. The Port Credit Tree Service main page covers each service.
How much does it cost to trim a tree?
A tree up to about roof height usually lands in the $300 to $800 band. The tall, old ones sit nearer $800 to $1,500 and up. After the free visit, the price we write down is the one you pay.
How much does tree removal cost?
Taking out a short tree runs $500 to $1,200. A big one squeezed into a narrow lot climbs to $2,000 to $5,000 or more. Grinding the stump adds $150 to $450.
Do I need a permit to cut down a tree in Mississauga?
When the trunk on private land reaches 15 cm across, yes. The first tree costs $399.77 to apply for and each extra healthy one adds $139.72. Dead or dying trees are exempt. The City asks for one native replacement tree for every 15 cm removed.
How long does the permit take?
The City allows up to 30 business days to review an application. Apply early if you have a build or a deadline.
Do I need a permit to trim a tree?
No. Limb work is permit-free. Save any oak cuts for November through March so oak wilt stays out of the tree.
Who looks after the tree between the sidewalk and the road?
It is a City tree. Mississauga's 311 line takes those requests.
A tree is on a power line. What do I do?
Leave it alone and report it to Alectra Utilities. When they say the line is dead, we come in and take the tree off.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully insured. We send proof of coverage on request before the work starts.
Do you clean up after the job?
Always. Brush goes through the chipper, logs go on the truck or into a stack for you, and the lawn is swept.
How soon can you come?
For a quote, usually within a few days. For storm damage, call (289) 206-8283 and we'll tell you how fast we can be there.
Can I get a quote without being home?
Yes. Tell us which tree it is and leave the gate unlocked. We'll send the written quote by email or text.
What areas do you serve?
Port Credit, Lakeview, Mineola and the rest of south Mississauga.
Still have a question?
Ask it on the form and we will answer, or call.
(289) 206-8283We pick up from 7 in the morning to 6 at night, six days a week (Sunday off). Storm damage? That number rings through nights and Sundays too.

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.
