What Don Mills homeowners tend to ask us most.

Size, species and condition drive the number, and condition carries extra weight here given how much of the neighbourhood's canopy shares an age. A written price comes only after an in-person visit.
Construction here happened in one concentrated push between 1952 and 1965, and a large share of the tree stock went in during that same window, often from similar nursery sources. When decline turns up in one tree, it's worth checking others nearby of the same age and species too.
Once a trunk passes 30 centimetres, yes. Properties near the ravine or greenbelt corridor running through parts of Don Mills can carry extra natural-feature rules on top of that. We handle the permit paperwork regardless.
A storm call moves ahead of routine work the day it comes in. Because so much of the local canopy is at a similar stage, a single weather event tends to touch more properties here than it would in a neighbourhood with a wider spread of tree ages.
Yes, priced separately, though we're happy to combine it with a removal in the same visit if that works better for your schedule.
You don't need sign-off to trim back whatever's crossed onto your property. Removal or cutting into the trunk is a separate matter, though - that requires the neighbour's consent, and failing that, a decision from the City.
Each one leads to the full write-up.
Good trimming clears out what's dead or in the way and leaves the tree's shape intact - straightforward on a young tree still finding its form, considerably less so on one that's spent close to seven decades settling into its final structure.

A dead branch has one direction left to go, and the only real question is timing. Getting to it before gravity does is the whole job here, especially on trees this far along that have already built up plenty of deadwood.

A downed limb or a split trunk after a storm calls for a fast response no matter the circumstances - and on a neighbourhood where so many trees share a similar age, one storm can leave more damage spread across more yards than it would somewhere with a younger, more varied canopy.

We recommend removal last, not first - but once a tree's decline has moved past the point where saving it makes sense, the job covers cutting, hauling and cleanup together in one visit.
View Tree Removal
Size alone rarely justifies removing a tree that's simply gotten bigger than its original spot allows for. Thinning and reduction exist for exactly this situation - scaling a canopy back down without sacrificing the decades it took to grow.

Running a cable between two major limbs relieves the strain on a union that's starting to give way, before it fails outright - frequently the difference between a mature tree surviving a bad storm and losing it entirely.
View Tree Cabling and Bracing
Grinding is the fast way to close out a removal: the wheel works the stump down below the surrounding grade in one pass, and by the time we're packing up, the space is already usable again. Root systems built over six or seven decades still come down to size in that same single visit.
