When a tree should come down
- The tree is dead, or more than half the crown is bare
- A large crack or split runs down the main trunk
- It leans toward the house and the lean is getting worse
- Roots are lifting the foundation, driveway or walkway
- Mushrooms or soft wood show up at the base of the trunk
Some trees are past saving: dead, badly split, leaning over the house, or simply too big for the spot. We take them down in sections, lowering each piece on ropes, so nothing lands on the roof, fence or lawn.
Most Erin Mills backyards are fenced and close to the neighbours, so every cut is planned before anyone climbs.
How a removal goes
- Check whether a City permit is needed and help with the application
- Protect the lawn, driveway and anything under the tree
- Take the tree down in sections, lowered on ropes
- Chip the branches, haul the wood and rake the yard
What it costs
Small trees come down for about $500 to $1,200. Big trees wedged between the house, the fence and the neighbours are a different job, commonly $2,000 to $5,000 or more. Grinding the stump is listed on its own line at $150 to $450, and the quote shows every line.

Mississauga's by-law covers any private tree with a trunk 15 cm across or wider. One tree on an application is $399.77, and each additional healthy tree is another $139.72. A decision can take the City up to 30 business days, dead or dying trees go through without the fee, and for each 15 cm of trunk removed you will plant one native tree.
Questions about tree removal
How long does a tree removal take?
Most removals take a day or less. A very large tree over the house can take longer. The permit, if you need one, usually takes the most time, so apply early.
Will removing a tree damage my lawn or driveway?
We lay boards over the lawn and driveway, and lower the wood on ropes. The grass may show some marks for a few weeks, and then it grows back.
What happens to the wood?
We chip the branches and haul away the trunk. If you'd like firewood or wood chips for the flower beds, tell us and we'll leave some.
Do you remove the stump too?
Sure. It shows up as a separate line on the quote, so you decide. If a replacement tree is going in, grinding clears the spot.
