When a limb comes down or a trunk splits in a storm, the priority is getting the property secured fast, whatever time of day the call comes in. That is what emergency storm damage cleanup covers.
Keep people and pets clear of the damage, especially if a branch is hung up in the canopy instead of fully down on the ground. If it's safe, take a few photos for your insurance file, then call and walk us through what happened.
Never attempt to cut or pull down a hung-up limb on your own. A branch that looks settled can still be holding tension it releases the moment it's disturbed.
We'll put together the written estimate and photos most insurance companies need, with the damage described before any work starts. Tell us if your policy calls for anything specific and it'll be built into the paperwork.
Midtown Toronto has taken its share of ice storms and severe summer wind over the past couple of decades, and Rosedale's older ravine-edge canopy tends to carry more large deadwood overhead than a street of younger, more open-grown trees. Given that combination, a storm call here gets bumped ahead of everything else on the schedule that day.
Most storm calls get looked at within a few hours, though a storm hitting the whole city at once can push that timeline back. Whatever the wait turns out to be, we'll tell you straight rather than leave you guessing.
Call (647) 370-0583 right away if you have storm damage. We take emergency calls outside normal business hours, and our full service list is there once things are safe again.
Past the main seven, here's what else comes up regularly on Rosedale properties.
A well-timed trim keeps a tree's shape under control and its weight off the parts of the property it shouldn't be touching, from overhead wires to a slope that already has enough going on. Every visit is insured, and you see the number in writing before the first branch comes off.

A branch with no live wood left in it is coming down eventually, and dead branch removal gets ahead of the timing before wind or ice weight forces the issue. Nothing brings in more calls from Rosedale's older estate lots.

Some trees are past saving, unsafe, or simply growing somewhere they no longer belong, and tree removal deals with all three, right through to hauling the last of the wood off the property.

A canopy hanging out over a roofline or leaning toward a neighbouring yard below a slope doesn't always have to come down just to stop being a risk. Crown thinning and canopy reduction take the wind load off that tree while leaving it standing.

One structural problem, on its own, rarely means a tree has to come down: a split trunk or a weak union can often be reinforced instead of removed. That's what cabling and bracing do, taking the strain off the compromised point so the rest of an otherwise sound tree keeps standing.

Once a tree is gone, the stump left behind is usually the last thing standing between you and using that part of the property again. Grinding clears it down to grade so the space is actually usable.
