Is it time to cut down your Guelph tree?

We’re often asked when the best time to cut down a tree is, and the answer varies from situation to situation. While trees can be an incredible asset to your property, a number of factors can transform these assets into liabilities. Homeowners that leave hazardous or sick trees on their property for too long run the risk of property damage and personal injuries. You may consider cutting down a tree on your property for several different reasons:

  • The tree is dead, dying, diseased or damaged beyond repair
  • The tree is hazardous and poses a risk to people or property
  • The tree or its roots are encroaching our your house, garage, barn, utility lines or other structures
  • The tree drops troublesome leaves or needles, sap, seeds and/or branches
  • A tree is inhibiting your lawn from growing, creating too much shade or blocking a view
  • You are planning to build or are planning landscape renovations in the area where the tree is
  • There is too much crowding amongst other trees in your yard

Whatever the reason, we’re here to help with all your tree removal needs. Contact us and we would be happy to further discuss your specific situation.

Giving your tree the proper diagnosis

If cutting down a tree on your property is your last resort, our arborists will work with you to discuss all of your available options. Depending on the situation, we may be able to create a plan to restore your tree back to health. For example, tree pruning can often be undertaken to remove weak, diseased or dead limbs, and thinning techniques can often improve the structural integrity of your tree to encourage new growth. Or, tree cabling or bracing could help shore up the tree. However, sometimes tree cutting is the safest or most practical option.

Tree cutting comes with a risk, including damage to your property or personal injury. We recommend leaving this work to professional, trained arborists. Tree Menders arborists are ISA-certified and experienced. We follow strict regulations, have the appropriate safety gear and equipment and always keep safety top of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Everything you need to know about tree cutting in Guelph

How much does tree cutting cost in Guelph?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer, as the cost of cutting down a tree depends on a few different factors. These include the size (height and diameter of the tree), location (including proximity to structures and power lines), current condition of the tree and more. Usually, tree cutting costs between one hundred and a few thousand dollars. Contact us for your personalized quote.

How do I know if I have a dangerous tree?

Signs of a dangerous tree are not always obvious, but there are signs to look out for:

  • The trunk is leaning 
  • There are dead, hanging or falling branches
  • The roots are rotting (look for mushrooms growing around the base of a tree, which can often be a clue that the tree is rotting inside)
  • Sections of the tree have no leaves or a thin leaf cover
  • There is missing bark, deep cracks or a hole in the trunk

If you are unsure whether a tree is dangerous or not, contact us today and our arborists can further discuss this with you.

Do I need a permit to cut down a tree on private Guelph property?

Likely, but the rules and regulations depend on the situation and also vary from municipality to municipality. When you work with us, we provide everything you need to know about tree removal rules, regulations, applications and bylaws.

Should I cut down a tree on my own or hire a professional?

Tree cutting is a high risk activity, and we recommend hiring a professional. From our expert knowledge on permits to liability insurance to the right tools and knowledge, Tree Menders can get the job done safely and efficiently.

Can you cut off the top of my tree?

Cutting off the top of a tree—also called tree topping—is not recommended. People top trees for different reasons, but usually because a tall tree is interfering with a nearby structure or electrical wires. Or, they may want to prevent a tall tree from coming down altogether in a storm. However, topping can be harmful to a tree as it is forced to quickly grow new limbs that are often too weak to handle extreme weather events and are more prone to decay, disease and pests. As well, new limbs usually grow back to the original height of the tree, and the cycle continues.

If you have a tree that’s too tall, contact us. We can discuss options including pruning or trimming.
