Tree Removal
Hazardous, dead or in-the-way trees taken down safely — climbed and lowered piece by piece when there's no room to drop them.

Downed trees and broken limbs dealt with fast — safely cut, cleared and hauled before they do any more damage.
Simcoe County weather doesn’t ease up on trees: wet spring snow, summer squalls rolling off the lakes, ice in the shoulder seasons. When a storm takes a tree — or half of one — the mess in the yard is the easy part. The dangerous part is the wood you can’t see the problem with: limbs under tension, split trunks holding their own weight the wrong way, and hangers waiting for the next gust.
What storm work actually involves
Storm-damaged wood behaves nothing like a standing tree. A trunk pinned across a fence is loaded like a spring, and cutting it in the wrong order is how people get hurt. We work the damage in sequence — release the tension safely, clear the weight off whatever it’s landed on, and get the rest of the tree down to something stable.
Then it’s clean-up: brush chipped, wood bucked and stacked or hauled, the yard raked back to usable.
After the storm passes
Once the urgent wood is on the ground, it’s worth a walk around the property. Storms advertise the weak trees — the deadwood, the cracked unions, the leaners — and dealing with them on your schedule is a lot cheaper than dealing with them on the weather’s schedule. Ask for the walk-around; the assessment is free.
Questions about storm clean-up
A tree came down on my house — what should I do?
Keep everyone away from it, including the parts that look stable — storm wood is under tension and moves without warning. Take photos for your insurance from a safe distance, then call us at (705) 238-8435. We'll assess it, make it safe, and give you a written quote you can hand to your insurer.
How fast can you get here?
Storm calls jump the queue. Response depends on how widespread the damage is — after a big blow the whole area is calling at once — but call and we'll tell you straight when we can be there.
A branch is hanging halfway out of my tree. Is that urgent?
Treat it like it is. A cracked limb that hasn't fallen yet ("a hanger") is the most dangerous wood on the property, because it drops the moment the wind swings around. Stay out from under it and get it dealt with.
