These folks cut down a large tree that was situated in an awkward spot in the yard. It was masterfully done! The 4 guys who did the work really knew what they were doing. They communicated the process to me well and were most respectful of my property. Everything was spotless when they left! I don’t usually write reviews but was so impressed with this service that I felt compelled to.

When Do You Need To Remove a Tree in Oakville?

There are some situations where efforts to save a tree become more hazardous than removing it. Local Arborist provides safe, effective tree removal in Oakville when keeping a problem tree around is simply not an option.

How Much Does It Cost To Remove A Tree in Oakville?

Tree removal prices in Oakville can range significantly based on a variety of different factors, making it difficult to give an estimate without access to details for each specific case. The size/diameter, height, condition, and location of a tree all impact the overall cost for removal services. For example, a small tree (up to 30’) with no major additional concerns (such as roots near plumbing or electrical lines) averages around $250–$600 for removal. Larger trees (that is, over 30’ tall) are far more dangerous to remove and require extra time, care, and attention to get the job done safely. As such, the price will reflect the increase in risk – large tree removal can cost around $1000-$2000. If there are any additional safety concerns to address, such as proximity to power lines or building or the need for climbing equipment the cost will also be increased. You may also want to consider extra tree services, as well. Stump grinding, limb chipping, and debris removal are all factored into a tree removal estimate.

If you have a tree that needs removal from your Oakville property, contact Local Arborists today. We will discuss your specific situation and provide you with a detailed estimate for tree removal services.

Common Signs that a Tree is a Hazard and Should Be Removed in Oakville

Trees are an important part of many Oakville yards and businesses, providing a variety of advantages from improved aesthetic to additional shade and protection for your property. Sometimes, though, a tree may be more of a hazard than a benefit. There are several common signs that you should be aware of that indicate it is time to consult a professional arborist for removal of hazardous trees in Oakville.

If you notice fungus or other strange growths on the trunk or branches, this may be a concerning sign of decay. Additionally, you may notice other structural concerns with a tree – hollowed out trunks, major cracks, or a significant portion of dead or dying branches all indicate the health of a tree is in significant trouble. If a tree is noticeably leaning to one side it may be due to a weakened root system, which is also a serious hazard. None of these warning signs should be ignored. If you think something might be wrong with a tree on your property, contact Local Arborist today for a tree risk assessment to determine if tree removal is required.

The Tree Removal Process in Oakville

Prepare Work Area

Depending on the size of the tree, there should be enough space cleared around where a felled tree can safely lay flat on the ground. Any valuable items should be removed or reinforced. We, at Local Arborist in Toronto, take special care to protect landscaped areas from significant damage. We also cover siding on buildings with plywood to safeguard against dents and scratches from stray branches.

Assess Conditions

The overall condition of the tree needs to be examined. Does it naturally lean more in one direction than another? Is there significant damage or decay present? All these things need to be taken into consideration when determining the best direction for the tree to be felled.

Organize Emergency Response Plan

Despite all our best planning, sometimes emergencies happen. Always clear a path for an emergency escape in the case of an out-of-control tree.

Collect Appropriate Tools and Equipment

It is essential to have the proper tools on hand to ensure the safest, most effective tree removal in Toronto. Local Arborist uses only ISA approved equipment and methods to complete every Toronto tree removal service.

Begin Cutting

First, we start with the undercut. This is a 45-degree angled V-cut made at the base of the tree on the same side that you want the tree to fall. This cut should be approximately one-quarter of the trunk diameter deep. The next step is to make the backcut. This cut starts on the opposite side of the tree, cutting completely through, and exiting about 2 inches above the previously made undercut.

TIMBER!

Since both the undercut and backcut were methodically placed, the direction that the tree will fall is controlled. Alert those in the area that the tree is about to come down, and stand back.

FAQs

How long does it take to remove a tree?

The actual process of tree removal does not take a long time. Once we are through with the site assessment and have a game plan in play, a tree generally can be safely removed all in a day’s work. We typically work on a first-come-first-serve basis. It is important to note, however, that we do sometimes have to triage tree removal services. If there is an emergency tree removal service, your project may be pushed back in the name of safety. That being said, you can expect to have your tree removal service completed between 10 and 30 days from your initial request being submitted.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree?

Yes, permits are required for the removal of any viable tree on private property that has a trunk with a diameter greater than 30 cm as well as for any city owned trees. Permitting requirements for private properties are nullified, however, if the tree is dead, diseased, or poses a risk to life or property. Local Arborist is familiar with Toronto Tree Bylaws. We offer complimentary consultations for tree removal services and can confidently determine which permits, if any, are necessary for your specific case.

What certification or insurance coverage does Local Arborist hold?

Local Arborist is a fully ISA license and certified tree care company. All our services are regulated and approved by ISA standards, so you can rest assured that you will receive professional workmanship from our team. Additionally, Local Arborist is proud to offer tree removal services that are fully protected with comprehensive liability insurance (up to $5,000,000), WSIB coverage, and WSIB certification.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

As mentioned before, there are several common signs that a tree may need to be removed. Severe leaning in one direction, fungus, growths, a hollowed-out trunk, or large sections of dead limbs and branches are all indications of poor tree health.  Trees may also need to be removed if they are causing an obstruction or posing a risk, such as growing too close to your home or a powerline. Consulting an ISA certified arborist is the best way to determine what the best course of action is for problem trees on your property.

When is the best time to remove a tree?

Tree removal can be done any time of year, though it tends to be easier to assess tree health during dormant stages (typically November through March). It is important, however, to seek assistance immediately if you have a problem tree that you think might pose a significant risk to life or property. Addressing problem trees before damage is caused is always the best course of action.
