Tree Removal & Stump Grinding
Why Choose Us for Tree Removal & Stump Grinding?
Dead, damaged, or dangerously positioned trees need to come down safely. Our tree removal service handles everything from small ornamental trees to larger specimens that require careful rigging and sectional removal. We assess each tree before starting, identify hazards like overhead wires or nearby structures, and plan the removal so it is done safely and efficiently.
Stump grinding is usually the next step after a tree comes down. We use professional stump grinders to take the stump below grade level so you can cover it with soil and seed, or use the area for new planting. Leaving stumps in place leads to pest problems, tripping hazards, and new shoots sprouting up around the base for years.
We also do hazard assessments for trees you are not sure about. If you have a tree that is leaning, has large dead branches, or shows signs of disease, Ted can evaluate it and give you an honest opinion on whether it needs to come down or just needs some corrective pruning. Not every problem tree needs to be removed — sometimes the right pruning saves the tree and keeps your property safe.

Tree Removal & Stump Grinding — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our tree removal & stump grinding services in Scarborough.
How much does tree removal cost?
Small tree removal starts around $300 to $500. Medium trees typically run $500 to $1,500 depending on size, location, and complexity. Trees near power lines or structures cost more due to the extra care required. We provide a free quote after assessing the tree on-site.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Scarborough?
In Toronto, you generally need a permit to remove trees with a trunk diameter of 30 cm or more. There are exemptions for dead or hazardous trees. We can help you determine if a permit is needed and assist with the application process through the city.
What happens to the wood and debris?
We haul away all branches, leaves, and debris as part of the job. If the tree produces good firewood and you want to keep it, we can cut it to length and stack it on your property. Stump grindings can be left as mulch or hauled away depending on your preference.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to an hour to grind. Larger stumps or those with extensive root systems may take longer. We grind 6 to 8 inches below grade, which is deep enough to cover with topsoil and grow grass over the area.
How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?
Signs that a tree may need removal include large dead branches, significant lean that has developed recently, major trunk cracks or cavities, mushroom growth at the base (indicating root rot), and extensive storm damage. Ted can assess the tree on-site and give you an honest opinion on whether removal or corrective pruning is the better option.
Can you remove trees close to my house or power lines?
Yes. We are experienced with trees in tight spaces near structures, fences, and overhead wires. Trees near power lines require sectional removal — cutting the tree in controlled sections from the top down rather than felling it whole. This takes more time but ensures safety for your property and surrounding structures.
What time of year is best for tree removal?
Tree removal can be done year-round. Winter is often ideal because the ground is frozen (less lawn damage from equipment) and deciduous trees have no leaves (better visibility for the crew). However, if a tree is hazardous, it should be removed as soon as possible regardless of season.
Can you plant a new tree after removing the old one?
Yes. After stump grinding, we can backfill the area with topsoil and plant a new tree. We recommend waiting a few weeks for the ground to settle before planting. Ted can suggest replacement species suited to your yard's conditions — proper spacing, mature size, and sun requirements are all considered.
