Do I need a permit to cut down a tree?

Permit requirements depend on local municipal laws. In the City of Ottawa, a tree removal permit is required if the tree is over 30 cm in diameter at chest height. In the Township of Russell, a permit is not required to cut down a tree.

How will the tree be cut down?

Tree removal methods depend on the size, condition, and location of the tree. We may climb the tree or use bucket trucks and cranes when needed. Professional rigging equipment is used to safely lower branches and logs to avoid damage to surrounding property.

When should a tree be removed?

A tree should only be removed when there is no other option. This includes situations where a tree is dead, unsafe, diseased, insect-infested, leaning, blocking construction, or growing too close to a home or structure.

Our Tree Removal Process in Annapolis County

We do not show up and start cutting. Every job begins with a thorough walkthrough of your property so our Tree Care Pros can assess the tree, surrounding structures, underground utilities, and site conditions. We then explain our recommended approach and confirm you are comfortable before any work begins.

Tree removal is carried out methodically, using ropes and rigging where needed to control the fall of large limbs or sections of trunk. Once the tree is down, we chip or remove all debris and leave your property cleaner than we found it. You will not be left with a pile of brush and a hole in the ground.

That thoroughness is part of what makes Knotty Tree Care the trusted tree removal nd tree services company in Annapolis County. It is also why our clients refer us to their neighbours and come back to us when the next job comes along.
