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.

Frequently Asked Questions

When a tree becomes a concern, you likely want clear answers before making a decision. Here are the questions we’re most often asked.

What time of year is best for tree service?

Late fall and early spring are often ideal because trees are dormant and their structure is easier to assess without full leaf cover. However, timing depends on the species and whether there are structural issues that shouldn’t wait, such as storm damage or excessive end-weight. If a tree is showing signs of instability, it’s better to address it promptly rather than delay for seasonal preference.

Do My Trees Need Annual Check-Ups?

Not every tree requires yearly inspection, especially younger trees without structural concerns. Mature trees, those exposed to wind, or trees near structures, benefit from periodic assessments to monitor attachment strength and root stability. Also, small issues like developing cracks or early decay are easier to manage when caught early.

How much does tree removal cost in New Minas?

Tree removal costs vary because size, lean, proximity to buildings, and equipment access all influence complexity. A tree growing freely in an open yard is very different from one positioned over a roofline or driveway. We visit the site to evaluate these factors and provide a clear, detailed estimate before any work begins.

How long does it take to remove a tree or prune large trees?

Many removals and major pruning projects are completed within a single day when conditions are straightforward. Trees located near buildings or power lines often require sectional dismantling, which adds time and increases the need for maintaining control and safety. We confirm a realistic timeline after evaluating the tree and surrounding site conditions.

Can you trim or prune my trees safely?

Yes – safe pruning involves understanding load distribution, branch attachment strength, and how the tree will respond to cuts. Improper trimming can actually increase long-term structural weakness. We use controlled climbing and rigging methods to manage limb removal carefully while protecting your property.
