Tree removal, explained
Some trees can be saved and some cannot. When a tree is dead, badly split or simply too big for the spot it was planted in, we take it down in sections and lower each piece on ropes.
Most backyards here are narrow, with a fence on every side. We plan each removal around what is below the tree, and we leave the lawn and the fence the way we found them.
When removal is the right call
- The tree is dead or more than half the crown has died back
- The trunk has a deep crack or a hollow at the base
- It leans more each year toward the house
- Roots are lifting the patio, walkway or foundation
- It is an ash that has lost most of its leaves
- It is planted too close to the house to ever fit
How a removal goes
- We check if you need a City permit and help you with the paperwork.
- The climber takes the tree down from the top in small pieces, lowered on ropes.
- Wood goes out through the side gate, so nothing is dragged across the lawn.
- We cut the stump low, or grind it out if you have added that to the quote.
What it costs
Small trees come down for roughly $500 to $1,200. A big tree squeezed between houses often costs $2,000 to $5,000 or more, because every piece has to be lowered by rope. Your price is set in writing once we have looked.

The houses in Churchill Meadows sit close together on narrow lots. A silver maple or spruce planted by the builder 25 years ago now fills the side yard and pushes into the eaves. Removing it and planting a smaller native tree is often the better choice, and the City's replacement rule works in your favour.
Questions about tree removal
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
For any trunk 15 cm across or wider, Mississauga says yes. The first tree costs $399.77 and each added healthy one $139.72, while dead or dying ones cost nothing.
How long does the permit take?
The City can take up to 30 business days to review it. Apply early if the work is not urgent.
Will a removal damage my lawn?
We use mats and move wood through the gate by hand. Your lawn may show a few marks, which fade in a couple of weeks.
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 fit your yard.
After a removal, most people add stump grinding. Our main page covers that and more.
