Tree trimming on these streets takes local knowledge. Mimico's first survey plan is from 1856, and a large share of the homes between the tracks and the lake were built from the 1920s into the 1940s, packed onto slim lots. That means tree trimming here often happens a few feet from a roof, a fence and a neighbour's driveway all at once. Our arborists plan every cut around that. Rigging lines lower wood in controlled pieces, and nothing gets dropped where it can bounce into a window.
Your price is on paper before a single cut, and hauling the brush is part of it. We rake the lawn and feed every branch through the chipper, so the yard looks better than when we arrived. The team is fully insured on every job, and we will gladly send the policy details to you or your property manager on request.
Condo boards, landlords of the low-rise apartment blocks along the side streets, and families in the old cottage homes all call us for the same reason: a straight answer, a fair number and a tidy site. The story behind our approach in this corner of south Etobicoke is on our about page.
From a single overhanging limb to a full removal beside the house, these are the services we bring to Mimico properties.
Tree trimming and pruning from Mimico Tree Service shapes a crown so it sheds wind, clears the roof and keeps its natural form. We cut at the branch collar, remove only what the tree can spare, and leave the yard swept clean. Each trim is covered by our insurance.

Dead branch removal clears out the bleached, bark-shedding limbs before they break loose over a driveway, a shed or a roof. We rope each piece down, cut back to healthy wood, and chip the brush on site. Mimico Tree Service carries full insurance for this work.

Emergency storm damage cleanup gets broken trees off houses, cars and driveways fast, then makes what is left of the tree safe. Our phone is answered around the clock, and we bring saws, rigging and a chipper on the first trip. All work is fully insured.

Tree removal from Mimico Tree Service brings unsafe or failing trees to the ground piece by piece, including the ones planted an arm's length from a brick wall. We handle permits, lower every piece on ropes, and clean up completely afterward. The work is insured in full.

Crown thinning and canopy reduction let more light and wind pass through a tree and shorten limbs that have grown too long for the space. Thinning removes select inner branches, while reduction cuts long leaders back to strong side branches. Full insurance stands behind the job.

Tree cabling and bracing support weak forks and heavy limbs with steel cable and threaded rods, so a valuable tree can stay standing safely. The hardware sits high in the crown where it is barely visible from the ground. Insurance covers the work.

Stump grinding and removal wipe out old stumps below the surface so the spot can be planted, paved or turned back into lawn. Our grinders fit through narrow side gates, and we rake the chips and clean the area when we finish. The work is fully insured.
View Stump Grinding and RemovalA balanced crown handles wind better. When a tree has been shaded on one side by a new building, tree trimming takes weight off the heavy side so the trunk is not being levered over every time a gust rolls down off the tower.
Tree trimming keeps roofs and eavestroughs clear. On lots this narrow, a single overhanging limb can drop leaves into two sets of gutters and scrape shingles in every storm. Pruning it back protects both houses.
Dead wood comes out before it falls. Dead branch removal done on a schedule is cheaper and safer than dealing with a limb after it lands on a car parked on Mimico Avenue.
Careful tree trimming helps the tree live longer. Good cuts close over cleanly, the tree puts its energy into healthy growth, and a mature shade tree on a small lot is worth keeping for as long as it stays safe.
We visit the yard, check the tree from trunk to tip, and leave you with a price in writing before any saw starts.
A maple planted beside a 1920s cottage never expected a thirty-floor neighbour. When a tower goes up nearby, the side of the tree facing it falls into shade and slowly thins out, while the sunny side keeps growing. The crown turns lopsided, and all that extra weight hangs over one side of the yard. Tree trimming that evens out the load, paired with regular crown thinning, brings the balance back before a limb fails.
Tall buildings also bend the wind. Air that hits the face of a tower gets pushed down and around its base, so a street that used to feel sheltered can now see sharp gusts. Branches that were fine for fifty years start to crack at old weak joints. We look for those joints first and deal with them through pruning, tree cabling or, when the wood is too far gone, careful tree removal.
It starts with a phone call or the online form, which gets you a booked slot for a look at the tree. Most visits take less than half an hour.
Next, an arborist walks the tree with you and explains the tree trimming plan. We look at the trunk, the branch unions, the roots near any digging, and anything below the canopy that has to be protected.
Then we write the tree trimming estimate down. The estimate lists each cut or each tree, the price, and what cleanup is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
On the booked day the crew marks off a landing area, ties in the heavy wood and brings it down a section at a time. Brush is chipped on site.
Last comes the tidy-up, followed by a stroll around the yard together to confirm the result matches the estimate.

Our tree trimming crews work every street between the Gardiner and the lake, from the old grid around Mimico Avenue and Station Road down to Lake Shore Boulevard West. We also cover the towers and townhouse rows at Humber Bay Shores, the houses by Mimico Creek, and the blocks west through New Toronto. Nearby parts of south Etobicoke are welcome too.
Along the creek, the soil tends to stay wet after heavy rain, and trees on those lots can loosen at the roots. Near the new towers, construction hoarding and excavation often come close to yard trees. We check both before we suggest any tree trimming or stump grinding work. For storm calls, our emergency storm damage cleanup team answers the phone around the clock.
Booking is simple on our contact page, where a short note about the tree gets things rolling.

It can. Digging for foundations and underground parking can cut roots that reach well past the property line, and the new building may block sunlight for part of the day. We can look at the tree, note any root damage or lean, and suggest pruning that helps it adjust to the new conditions.
Toronto requires a permit to remove or seriously injure any private tree measuring 30 cm or more in diameter at 1.4 m from grade. From September 1, 2026, a trunk of 61 cm or more makes it a distinctive tree, and the City may say no to taking it down. Trees on the city boulevard belong to the City, and you report problems with those through 311.
We keep a phone line open day and night for storm damage. Anything resting on a roof, a vehicle or a doorway moves to the front of our list. We make the site safe first and then plan the full cleanup.
Often, yes. Tree trimming there aims for a lighter crown, because the ground near the creek can stay soggy after a big rain, which makes it easier for a tree to tip. We check for soil heaving and root damage and thin the canopy so the tree catches less wind.
Pruning a typical Toronto yard tree tends to cost from about $300 up to $1,200, with height, access and the volume of wood setting the figure. Tall trees squeezed between houses can cost more because everything has to be roped down. The written estimate after our visit is the real number.
A few lines about the tree and its location are all we need to book the free visit. If you would rather talk to a person, our phone at (647) 370-3478 is answered all day.
