It is best to allow an ISA certified arborist to evaluate your specific situation and determine if tree removal is the best course of action for your problem tree. While there are many reasons for complete tree removal, there may be other options to preserve the vitality of your tree and maintain a beautiful green space within your property. Local Arborist provides on-site consultation for all tree care services.

There are several factors to consider when estimating the cost of complete tree removal. The size of tree, location on property, and overall risk level all need to be acknowledged. Local Arborist will work with you to determine the safest, most affordable option for you.

While tree topping is a seemingly convenient fix for trees that have gotten too big or too tall, it is a potentially dangerous practice. The ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) condemns tree topping and deems it to be an unsafe practice. Tree topping has been proven to be harmful to trees as it removes most of the trees’ food source, leaves limbs exposed and susceptible to disease and decay, and encourages rapid and weak regrowth. Proper pruning and trimming are the more favorable alternatives. Local Arborist provides expert tree pruning and trimming services.

Permits are required for the removal or major trimming of any viable tree on private property that has a trunk greater than 30 cm in diameter. If the tree in question is no longer viable, that is it is dead, diseased or poses a significant risk to life or property, it is exempt from permitting requirements. All city owned trees also require permitting for removal or alteration. We recommend contacting an ISA Certified Arborist company if you are unsure about the permitting requirements for your specific situation or to receive additional clarification regarding the Toronto Tree Bylaws. Local Arborist offers complimentary consultations and estimates for all tree care services.
