Erindale Tree Service
Erindale ยท Mississauga, Ontario
Erindale Tree Service provides tree trimming, tree removal and emergency storm damage cleanup throughout Erindale and the surrounding Mississauga neighbourhoods. Our team is fully insured and set up for a canopy that has been growing since Erindale was first settled in 1805, one of the oldest communities in the region. Every tree trimming quote is written down before any work begins, and the visit that produces it costs you nothing.

Tell us which tree needs attention and what is underneath it. We will come and look at it in person. Or call (289) 206-8543.
We work throughout one of Mississauga's oldest communities, where the Credit River valley carries genuinely old-growth forest alongside decades of residential street trees. Every quote is written, every price is agreed before the climbers go up, and the crew that gives the quote is the crew that does the work.
We provide seven tree services throughout Erindale and central Mississauga, from tree trimming to stump grinding.
Regular trimming keeps a tree healthy, safe, and shaped the way you want it, whether that is a tree near Erindale's historic Dundas Street core or a younger tree closer to Sheridan. We remove deadwood, correct weak branch unions, and thin crowns so wind passes through rather than against them - see our full range of tree services for everything else we handle.
View Tree Trimming and Pruning
A dead branch does not heal or come back, it only gets weaker and more likely to fail. We identify every dead limb worth removing, not only the one you called about, since a mature tree often carries more than one. Each piece is lowered on a rope rather than dropped, particularly over flower beds, patios, or anything else worth protecting underneath.

Storm damage will not wait for a convenient time, and neither do we. We prioritize calls involving a tree on a structure, a hanging limb over a driveway, or anything blocking safe access to a home, and we can usually be on site the same day.

Removal is always our last recommendation, not our first, and we will tell you plainly when a tree can be saved with the right pruning or cabling instead. When removal genuinely is the right call, we take the tree down in sections, protecting the lawn, fences, and anything else nearby.

Crown thinning removes select interior branches to let light and air move through a canopy without changing its overall shape. Canopy reduction brings the whole crown in evenly, which is useful for a tree that has outgrown its space near a roofline or property line.

Cabling and bracing support a tree with a structural weakness, like a codominant trunk or a wide, included-bark union, instead of removing it outright. A properly installed cable reduces the load on a weak union without changing how the tree looks day to day.

A stump left behind after removal can attract pests, become a tripping hazard, and get in the way of replanting. We grind stumps down below grade so the area can be reseeded, mulched, or replanted without a mound in the way.
View Stump Grinding and RemovalA tree trimmed on a regular schedule holds its shape and sheds less deadwood on its own near the driveway, walkway or fence line.
Removing weak or overextended limbs early lowers the weight a canopy has to carry through a wind or ice event.
Good pruning lets more light reach a yard without changing a tree's overall shape or character.
A tree that gets attention every few years is far less likely to need emergency work after the fact.
Photographs do not show a lean, a cracked root plate or decay at the base of a trunk. Half an hour on site does.
Erindale was settled in 1805 after a treaty with Chief Quenippenon, making it one of the oldest communities in the Mississauga area, and its history along Dundas Street runs from a stagecoach stop through several names before Erindale stuck. Erindale Park, developed on the site of a former hydroelectric dam that operated from 1910 to 1941, protects a stretch of the Credit River valley with mature forest cover far older than the surrounding residential streets. That mix, century-old street trees near the historic core and genuine old-growth forest along the river, means we see a wider range of tree conditions here than almost anywhere else in Mississauga.
The City of Mississauga's Private Tree Protection By-law requires a permit before a tree of 15 centimetres in diameter or more is removed from private property. The base permit fee is $399.77, with $139.72 for each additional healthy tree removed under the same application, and the city allows up to 30 business days to review it. A dead or dying tree is exempt from those fees, though a permit application is still usually needed, and a native replacement tree is required for every 15 centimetres of diameter removed. Tree trimming does not fall under this bylaw at all - only removal of a living tree does, and we can tell you before you apply whether your situation needs a permit.
Erindale Park and the University of Toronto Mississauga campus sit along the Credit River's west bank, and properties near that valley carry mature tree cover on slopes with different drainage and root-stability conditions than a flat interior lot. A tree growing near the riverbank or valley edge needs a more careful read on lean and root exposure, which is part of why we walk every property before quoting.
We walk the property with you and look at each tree from more than one angle, since a lean or a crack often only shows from one side.
We explain what we are recommending and why in plain language before any cutting starts.
Every cut is made with the tree's long-term shape and health in mind, not just the branch in front of us.
We clean up all debris and leave the property the way we found it, aside from the tree itself.

Yes, we carry full insurance for every job, from a single branch to a full removal.
We prioritize storm calls and can usually get someone out within the same day for a hazardous limb or a tree down on a structure.
If the tree is 15 centimetres or more in diameter, yes, under the City of Mississauga's Private Tree Protection By-law. We can tell you before you apply whether your situation needs one.
Yes. Some owners want the stump gone right away, others wait a season - either way works, and we quote it as its own line item.
The species and rough height are helpful, and so is your street, since access affects the price more than size does. Prefer to talk it through instead? Call (289) 206-8543 directly.
