Sometimes a tree cannot be saved. Maybe it died, maybe it leans at the house, maybe the base has split, or maybe it has outgrown the lot. Taking it apart from the top down keeps every piece away from the things you care about.
Tight backyards mean a climber roping sections down, or a crane swinging them over the roof. You get a written price and a clear plan before we start.
Signs a tree may need to come down
- The whole tree is dead or has no leaves in summer
- A deep crack or split runs down the trunk
- The tree has started to lean more than before
- Mushrooms or soft, hollow wood at the base
- Roots are lifting the foundation, driveway or sewer line
How a removal goes
- Check the permit rules and help you apply if one is needed
- Protect the lawn, fence and driveway before work starts
- Take the tree down in sections, top to bottom
- Cut the trunk low and haul away all the wood
- Grind the stump the same day if you choose
What it usually costs
Small trees usually come down for $500 to $1,200. When a big one stands close to the house or wires in a cramped yard, $2,000 to $5,000 and up is common. The stump gets a separate price.

Many Applewood lots have houses close together, a single side gate and a big tree right behind the house. That means most removals are done by climbing and roping, not by dropping the tree. We plan the rigging before the quote, so the price already includes it.
Questions about tree removal
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Yes, when the trunk is at least 15 cm wide. Applying costs $399.77, then $139.72 for every extra healthy tree, while a dead or dying one is free. The City takes as many as 30 business days.
Can the tree be saved instead?
Often, yes. If the problem is one bad limb or a crowded crown, trimming or cabling may fix it. We tell you honestly which choice makes sense.
Will you damage my lawn?
We lay down boards or mats where the wood is moved and keep heavy pieces off soft ground. Any ruts are raked out before we leave.
What about the stump?
We can grind it below the ground the same day, or leave it low and flat if you would rather wait.
