A look at what it could hit
Before quoting, we check the lean, deadwood, cracks and root lift, and what sits underneath: roof, wires, fence or driveway.

Planned takedowns
Safe Removal for Dead, Leaning and Problem Trees
Most removals start with a tree that's past saving: a dead ash, a split maple, a pine leaning harder toward the garage every year. Others are healthy but in the wrong place, crowding a foundation or standing where an addition needs to go. Either way, the job is the same: get it down without hitting anything.
When there's room, we fell the tree in one piece. When there isn't, we climb it and take it apart from the top, lowering each limb and section by rope into a clear drop zone. That's how we work around roofs, decks, fences and the neighbour's shed.
Taking trees down is one part of the Midland tree service work we do, alongside trimming, storm cleanup and stump grinding.
What you get
What's Included in the Price
Rigging in tight spaces
Limbs and trunk sections are lowered on ropes when there's no safe place to drop them.
Ground protection
We plan where the chipper and brush will travel, and lay down protection on soft or finished ground where it's practical.
Chipping and hauling
Brush is chipped on site and taken away. The chips can stay as mulch if you'd like them.
Wood your way
Logs are hauled off, or cut to firewood length and stacked if you'd like to keep them.
Stump options
A takedown leaves a low stump. Grinding can be added to the same visit so you can seed or plant over the spot.

Tree Cutting Near Homes and Hydro Lines
The trickiest jobs are trees growing over a roof or through overhead wires. Over a house, we rig and lower everything, so nothing free-falls onto shingles or eavestroughs.
If a tree is touching power lines, the local hydro utility needs to be involved before anyone cuts. We'll tell you if that applies to your tree and plan the job around it.
Dead ash are one of the most common calls. Emerald ash borer has been killing ash trees across the area, and the town has been removing infected ash from its own parks. A dead ash gets harder to climb and rig the longer it stands, so it's better taken down sooner.
Dead ash or a leaning tree? Get it down on your schedule.

How the Day Goes
A clear sequence keeps everyone safe and the yard in good shape.
01
Walkthrough and price
We confirm which trees are coming down, point out anything we'll protect, and agree on what happens with the wood.
02
Setting up the work zone
Cones and drop zones go out, equipment is positioned, and rigging is set if the tree is coming down in sections.
03
Cutting and lowering
The tree is felled in a safe direction or taken down from the top, piece by piece.
04
Cleanup and final rake
Brush is chipped, wood is hauled or stacked, and the area is raked and blown off.
What to budget
Typical Prices
Typical local prices, not a quote: a small to mid-size tree with easy access usually runs $400 to $1,500. Large trees, tight backyards and hazard jobs often run $1,500 to $4,000 or more. Stump grinding is typically $150 to $500 per stump if you add it.
The price depends on height and trunk size, what's under it, whether it has to come down in sections, and how far brush has to travel to the chipper. The estimate is free.
Before you book
Questions Before You Book
Can you take a tree down in a small backyard?
Usually, yes. We climb it and lower it in sections, so it doesn't need room to fall.
Is the stump removed too?
Not unless you add stump grinding. Removal leaves a low stump; grinding takes it below the surface so you can seed or plant over it.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Midland?
It depends on where the tree is. Trees on the town's road allowance belong to the town, so we only take down trees on your property. We'll tell you if anything needs checking before we cut.
Can I keep the wood?
Yes. Tell us at the estimate and we'll cut it to firewood length and stack it where you want.
