Damage cleanup
Fallen Tree and Broken Limb Cleanup After a Storm
Wind, ice and heavy snow are hard on trees around Georgian Bay. Lake-effect squalls can pile wet snow on branches fast, and a limb that was already weak gives way. After a storm, the problem is rarely just what's on the ground; it's what's still up in the tree.
We start with the hazards: limbs hung up in the canopy, cracked leaders and trees that have started to lean. Those come down in a controlled way first. Then we clean up what fell, chip the brush and haul it away.
Once the mess is gone, we'll tell you honestly whether the tree can be saved with corrective pruning or should come down. It's the same judgment our Midland tree care team brings to every job.
What we deal with
Damage We Clear Up
Split trunks and torn crotches
Where two leaders split apart, the tree usually can't close the wound and becomes unstable.
Uprooted and leaning trees
Soil lifted on one side of the base means the roots have let go.
Debris on roofs and lawns
Limbs off the roof, out of the eavestroughs and off the yard, chipped and hauled away.
Claims
Storm Tree Cleanup and Your Insurance Claim
If a tree has damaged your house, garage or car, call your insurer early and take photos before anything is moved. Coverage depends on your policy and what the tree hit, so your insurer has the final word.
We can give you an itemized invoice showing what was removed and why, which you can pass along with your claim.
If anything is on power lines or a person is hurt, call 911 and your hydro utility before calling us. For urgent jobs, our line is answered 24/7.

Costs
What Cleanup Typically Costs
Typical local prices, not a quote: clearing broken limbs and pruning damaged trees usually falls in the $250 to $1,200 range. Taking down a damaged tree typically runs $400 to $1,500 for small to mid-size trees and $1,500 to $4,000 or more for large or hazardous ones.
Limbs hanging over a roof, wood bent under tension and poor access all add time. Estimates are free.
Common questions
Questions After Bad Weather
Can a storm-damaged tree be saved?
Often, if the main trunk and roots are sound and the damage is limited to branches. Split trunks and lifted roots usually mean it has to come down.
What shouldn't I do myself?
Don't climb a damaged tree or cut a trunk or limb that's bent under tension. Wood under load can spring back with real force.
Do you handle cleanup across the Midland area?
Yes, in Midland and the surrounding towns. After a big storm, hazards over homes and driveways are dealt with first.
Will you help with my insurance claim?
Coverage is between you and your insurer, but we can give you an itemized invoice showing what was removed and why.
