Arborist Assessment & Consulting Rates
When you need a professional opinion on the health, safety or legal requirements of a tree, our ISA‑certified arborists provide on‑site assessments and written reports.
All fees are presented in a free, itemised quote that lists the hourly charge, estimated hours, and any extra modifiers (such as after‑hours or crane access). This ensures you know exactly what you are paying for before any work starts.

How We Quote Our Services
Toronto Tree Removal provides written, no‑obligation quotes for every job, whether it is a simple pruning task or a large‑scale removal. The quoting process follows these steps:
- Initial contact – You can call, email or use the online form to describe the work you need.
- Site visit (optional) – For most jobs we schedule a brief on‑site visit. During this visit the arborist records tree height, trunk diameter, access constraints and any safety concerns.
- Itemised quote – You receive a written quote that breaks down each cost component: labour hours, equipment fees, permits, and optional services such as stump grinding.
- No deposit for standard work – For routine jobs (e.g., pruning, standard removals) we do not require a deposit. Emergency or highly specialised jobs may have a small upfront fee, which is disclosed in the quote.
Because the quote is itemised, you can see exactly how the hourly labour cost contributes to the total price. If you have questions about any line item, our team is happy to explain before you approve the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there additional fees for after‑hours or special equipment? Yes. If work is required outside normal business hours, or if a crane, lift or other specialised equipment is needed, those costs are added as separate line items in the quote. All premiums are explained up front.
Do I need to pay anything before the work begins? For most standard services (pruning, routine removals) no deposit is required. Emergency or highly specialised jobs may have a small upfront fee, which will be shown in the quote.
