Do I need a permit to remove a tree in the GTA?
Often, yes. Richmond Hill, Toronto, Markham, Vaughan, Aurora and Newmarket each regulate private trees above a certain trunk diameter. We check the rules for your property and can prepare the arborist report and permit application for you.
Are you licensed and insured?

Do you handle emergency tree removal?
Yes. We respond quickly to fallen trees, split trunks and hazardous limbs after storms across Richmond Hill and the GTA. Keep away from any downed wires and call us for help.
What is the best time of year for tree pruning?
For most trees, late fall to early spring is best because trees are dormant. Oak trees should not be pruned from April to the end of July because of the risk of oak wilt. Dead or dangerous branches can be removed at any time.
