Tree Removal In Mimico, Toronto

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.

Most removals in Mimico are tight. The narrow lots mean a tree often sits beside a fence, over a garage and next to a neighbour's driveway, so dropping it in one piece is rarely possible. We climb, cut and lower the tree top down until only a short trunk is left, then bring that down safely.

Construction near a tree is a common reason for removal here. When deep excavation for a condo or a new house cuts through a big share of the roots, a tree can lose its footing and begin to decline over the next few years. We look at how much root area was lost and give you an honest opinion on whether the tree can recover.

Across Toronto, taking down a small tree often lands near $500, while a big one boxed in between houses can reach $2,500 to $5,000 or beyond. Your written estimate will spell out the exact cost.

The main reasons are deep decay in the trunk, a serious crack or split, a lean that is getting worse, roots that have been badly cut, or a dead ash that is too brittle to climb safely. We always look at pruning or cabling first.

Toronto's Private Tree By-law kicks in at a 30 cm trunk diameter taken 1.4 m up, and since the fall of 2026 anything 61 cm or wider is classed as a distinctive tree with tougher rules. We measure the trunk and tell you where you stand. Lots mapped under the Ravine and Natural Feature Protection by-law carry a second set of rules on top of that.

Yes. That is most of what we do here. Every section hangs from a rope as it comes down, which keeps it off the shingles, the siding and the glass.

The removal price normally leaves a low stump. Stump grinding is a separate step that we can price at the same time, so the whole job can be finished in one visit.
