Yes — any tree with a trunk diameter of 30 cm (about 12 inches) or greater requires a permit under Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 813. Fines for unpermitted removal range from $500 to $100,000 per tree. Toronto Tree Removal provides the required arborist supporting letter and guides you through the process; typical permit processing takes 5–10 business days.

Typical price ranges: small trees (under 30 ft) $300–$500 CAD, medium (30–50 ft) $500–$900 CAD, large (50–70 ft) $900–$1,800 CAD, very large (70 ft+) $1,800–$3,500+ CAD. Final cost depends on height, trunk diameter, access, and hazard level. All quotes are free, written, and itemised with no obligation.

We target a 2-hour response window across the GTA and are available 24/7 including weekends and statutory holidays. After-hours premiums are disclosed upfront at the time of booking. Call 647-558-1366 directly.

Yes. Our lead arborists hold ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) certification, requiring a comprehensive exam and ongoing continuing education. All work follows ISA standards and ANSI A300 pruning standards. We do not perform tree topping.

We carry $5,000,000 in general liability insurance. All crew members are covered under WSIB (Workplace Safety & Insurance Board). Certificates of insurance are available on request before work begins.

A small to medium tree (under 40 ft) typically takes 2–4 hours. Large trees may require a full day. Very large or complex removals may span two days. All debris is hauled off-site on the same visit.

Stump grinding is a separate service. Adding it at the time of tree removal costs $150–$250 CAD — less than a standalone booking at $200–$400 CAD. Stumps are ground to 6–8 inches below grade.

We serve the full Greater Toronto Area: Toronto (all neighbourhoods), North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Vaughan, Mississauga, Markham, Brampton, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Oakville, Burlington, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, and the surrounding Durham, York, Peel, and Halton regions.

Yes. We use specialised rigging, sectional felling, and utility-coordination protocols for line-clearance work and tight-access removals near fences or structures. Ontario One Call locate service is used before any digging or grinding.

All debris is hauled off-site and properly disposed of at no extra charge. Firewood sections can be left on request. Wood from disease-positive trees is handled according to Ontario MNRF guidelines.

An arborist report is a written ISA-standard assessment documenting a tree’s health, structure, and risk level. You need one to support a Toronto Chapter 813 permit application, file an insurance claim after storm damage, assess a tree before construction, or document tree condition for a property sale. We produce reports for all these purposes; a separate fee applies.

Yes. Volume discounts of 15–25% per additional tree are available when bundling multiple removals into a single visit. Late fall and winter bookings may also qualify for seasonal pricing.

ISA-certified arborists assess tree structure, disease, and failure risk before cutting. Only a certified arborist can produce the arborist letter required for Toronto Chapter 813 permits. Uninsured operators cannot produce permit-compliant reports and leave any property damage costs with the homeowner.
