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.

Some trees need to come down: a dead ash, a tree leaning toward the house, or one with a trunk split open. We take them down in pieces, lowering each section on a rope or lifting it out with a crane, so nothing drops on the roof, fence or flower beds.

Before the work, we check whether the tree needs a City permit and walk you through the steps. Once the last section is down, the trunk leaves on our truck and the lawn gets swept.

When a tree should come down

The tree is dead, or more than half the crown is bare
It leans more than it did last year, or the roots are lifting
The trunk has a large crack, cavity or soft rot
It is an ash that emerald ash borer has killed
It is growing into the foundation or the new build needs the space

How we take a tree down

Check the permit rules and mark a safe drop zone
Climb and remove the limbs first, lowering them on a rope
Take the trunk down in sections, top to bottom
Use a crane when the yard is too tight to lower wood safely
Chip the branches, haul the wood and grind the stump if you want

What it costs

Budget $500 to $1,200 to take out a young or short tree. Big trunks pinned between a house and a fence are a bigger job, from $2,000 to $5,000 and beyond. Stump grinding is quoted as its own line. You pay the total on the quote, nothing more.

Rebuilt lots leave trees with tight access

Across Port Credit, older bungalows are being replaced with bigger homes that sit closer to the lot lines. That leaves mature trees in narrow side yards with little room to drop wood. On those jobs we rig every piece down on ropes or lift it out with a crane, and plan the route to the truck before the first cut.

Questions about tree removal

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Mississauga?

When the trunk is 15 cm across or wider, yes. The City charges $399.77 for the first tree and $139.72 for each other healthy one, and dead or dying trees are exempt. Allow up to 30 business days for approval.

Do I have to plant a new tree?

The City asks for one native replacement tree for every 15 cm of trunk removed. We can suggest trees that suit your yard.

Is the stump included?

Stump grinding is priced separately so you can choose. Most people add it. It usually costs $150 to $450 per stump.

How long does a removal take?

Most trees come down in a few hours. A large tree in a tight yard, or one that needs a crane, can take a full day.
