We plan the cut, handle the City paperwork when a permit is needed, and leave the site tidy.
When removal is the right call
You may need a tree taken down if it is dead or dying, storm-damaged, leaning toward a roof or wires, lifting a driveway or sidewalk with its roots, crowded by other trees, or planted in the wrong spot for the house. Pest problems, including emerald ash borer on ash, are another common reason. Aesthetic preferences and construction plans also drive removals. We will say so if pruning or a crown reduction can solve the problem without taking the tree down.
In Ottawa’s urban area, a private tree 30 cm or more across, measured 1.3 m up the trunk, on a lot of one hectare or less usually needs a City tree permit. You apply online with a Tree Information Report. Fees and rules change, so we check the current City of Ottawa tree protection pages before we file. Dead or hazardous trees that are an immediate threat, and ash trees with emerald ash borer, can be exempt. Pruning does not need a permit. Boundary trees shared with a neighbour need that neighbour’s written consent under Ontario’s Forestry Act before work starts. Tree King’s arborists prepare Tree Information Reports when a distinctive-tree permit is required. See our Ottawa tree removal permits page for the step-by-step.
How a Tree King removal works
On-site walkthrough and free quote.
Permit and Tree Information Report if the by-law applies.
Rigging and sectional removal, or a carefully planned open fall where space allows.
Brush chipping and log handling.
Optional stump grinding (priced separately unless you ask for it in the same quote).
Final sweep of the work area.
We use aerial lifts, cranes, and chippers when the site needs them. Safety for the crew, your house, and neighbouring properties comes first.
A clear scope, whether a permit is likely, and whether stump grinding is included. No surprise add-ons after the job starts. What changes the price is covered in what sets the cost of tree removal in Ottawa.
