What tree removal involves
Some trees are past saving. If one has died, rotted inside or started leaning at the house, we dismantle it piece by piece and rope each section down, so fences, flower beds and roofs stay untouched.
Before we recommend removal, we check whether trimming or cabling could fix the problem. If the tree can stay, we will say so.
When a tree should come down
- The tree is dead or more than half of the crown is bare
- The trunk is hollow, cracked or soft
- The lean has gotten worse or the soil is heaving
- Large mushrooms are growing at the base
- It is a dead ash killed by emerald ash borer
- Roots are lifting the foundation or driveway
What we do
- Check the tree and tell you if a city permit is needed.
- Climb and take the crown down in small sections on ropes.
- Cut the trunk into manageable rounds.
- Chip the brush, haul the wood and rake the yard. Stump grinding can be added.
What it costs
Small trees usually come down for $500 to $1,200. Big trees hemmed in by houses and fences sit around $2,000 to $5,000+. Height, access and what is underneath decide where yours falls, and the quote you get in writing is binding.

Many Erindale lots drop toward the Credit River valley. A tree on a slope can fall downhill the moment a cut goes wrong, so on those lots we always take the tree down in sections from the top, never in one piece.
Questions about tree removal
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Yes, once the trunk measures 15 cm or wider. Mississauga charges $399.77 for the first tree and $139.72 for each additional healthy one, and waives it for a tree that has already died.
How long does the permit take?
Plan on as long as six weeks. Mississauga gives itself 30 business days to decide, so file early when the tree is not an emergency.
Does the city want a new tree planted?
Yes. Count on planting one native tree for each 15 cm of trunk that comes out.
Is the stump removed too?
Not unless you want it. We leave the stump cut low, or add stump grinding to the same visit.
