A limb down or a trunk split in a storm needs the property made safe fast, no matter the hour. That urgency is the whole point of emergency storm damage cleanup.
Distance is the priority — people and animals both — and doubly so if a branch is still hung up rather than resting on the ground. A photo helps your insurance claim if you can get one safely, and then a call to us with a description of what you're seeing gets things moving.
Never attempt to pull down a hung-up limb yourself — one that looks stable can still be under tension it releases the instant it's disturbed.
We put together the written estimate and photo record most insurers ask for, describing the damage before touching anything. Mention anything specific your policy needs and we'll fold it into the paperwork.
Toronto's west end has taken its share of summer wind events and ice storms over the years, and a canopy this mature — especially the oaks — tends to carry more large deadwood aloft than a street of younger trees. That combination is exactly why a storm call gets bumped ahead of everything else here.
A few hours is the typical wait for a look at storm damage, unless the whole city got hit at once and every crew is stretched thin. Either way you'll get a straight answer on timing, not a runaround, and a broken oak gets its wound sealed on the spot no matter what month it is.
Call (647) 370-3913 right away for storm damage — we take these calls outside normal hours. The rest of what we handle is there once things are safe again.
A handful of other jobs show up often enough around here to mention.
Keeping a tree's shape in check does two things at once: it takes weight off the limbs most likely to fail, and it keeps growth clear of the roofline, the wires and the sidewalk below. Every visit here runs on insurance and a written number, with oak species scheduled around the city's pruning window rather than whenever it's convenient.

A branch that's already dead is on its way down regardless — dead branch removal just decides when, on your terms, rather than the wind's. It's one of the most requested services on High Park's older, oak-heavy streets.

Some trees are too far gone, too hazardous, or simply in the wrong spot to keep, and removal covers all three, wood and all, down to the last load hauled off the property.

Not every oversized canopy needs a chainsaw at the base. If a tree has simply gotten too wide for the roofline underneath it or the yard next door, thinning and reduction pull back the reach and lighten the load in the wind — the tree stays put, just smaller and less of a liability.

Picture a tree that's fine everywhere except one spot — a trunk that forks and splits low down, say. Taking the whole tree out over a single weak point is often overkill; a cable or brace installed at that exact point can carry the load instead, and the tree keeps its size, its shade and its place in the yard.

A stump left in the ground doesn't rot away fast enough to matter — it just sits there, in the way, for years. Grinding is the shortcut: the wood goes down below grade in one visit, and the spot is yours to use again.

One business day is the usual turnaround once we know what you're dealing with — species, size, and roughly where it stands. Rather just call? Ring (647) 370-3913 and skip the form altogether.
