Removal is always our last recommendation, not our first, and we will tell you plainly when a tree can be saved with the right pruning or cabling instead. When removal genuinely is the right call, we take the tree down in sections, protecting the lawn, fences, and anything else nearby.
Removal makes sense when a tree has significant internal decay, a split trunk, a fatal lean toward a structure, or root damage that trimming cannot fix. We explain exactly which of these applies before recommending it.
Yes, if the tree is 15 centimetres or more in diameter, under the City of Mississauga's Private Tree Protection By-law. The base permit fee is $399.77 plus $139.72 per additional tree, with up to 30 business days for review; a dead or dying tree is generally exempt from the fee, though a replacement planting is still required.
We haul away everything unless you want to keep firewood-length rounds or wood chips for your own use, which we are always happy to leave behind on request.
We plan the drop zone and rigging to avoid hardscaping wherever possible, and where a tree must come down in sections over a structure, we lower each piece on rope rather than letting anything free-fall.

Most trees need more than tree trimming alone. Here is everything else we do.
Regular trimming keeps a tree healthy, safe, and shaped the way you want it, which matters even more in a young neighbourhood like Churchill Meadows where most trees are still building their structure. We remove deadwood, correct weak branch unions, and thin crowns so wind passes through rather than against them - see our full range of tree services for everything else we handle.

A dead branch does not heal or come back, it only gets weaker and more likely to fail. We identify every dead limb worth removing, not only the one you called about, since even a younger tree can carry storm-damaged or diseased wood. Each piece is lowered on a rope rather than dropped, particularly over flower beds, patios, or anything else worth protecting underneath.

Storm damage will not wait for a convenient time, and neither do we. We prioritize calls involving a tree on a structure, a hanging limb over a driveway, or anything blocking safe access to a home, and we can usually be on site the same day.

Crown thinning removes select interior branches to let light and air move through a canopy without changing its overall shape. Canopy reduction brings the whole crown in evenly, which is useful for a tree that has outgrown its space near a roofline or property line.

Cabling and bracing support a tree with a structural weakness, like a codominant trunk or a wide, included-bark union, instead of removing it outright. A properly installed cable reduces the load on a weak union without changing how the tree looks day to day.

A stump left behind after removal can attract pests, become a tripping hazard, and get in the way of replanting. We grind stumps down below grade so the area can be reseeded, mulched, or replanted without a mound in the way.

The species and rough height are helpful, and so is your street, since access affects the price more than size does. Prefer to talk it through instead? Call (289) 206-8539 directly.
