Certified arborist services for residential and commercial properties across York and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Services We Offer in York
Tree Doctors provides tree care for homeowners and property managers across York. Our certified arborists handle everything from routine pruning to full removals on tight urban lots.
Tree Removal
Dead, diseased, or dangerously leaning trees don't get safer with time. We remove trees of all sizes quickly and safely, with minimal impact to your property and full permit handling included.
Tree Trimming and Pruning
Healthy trees start with proper pruning. Our arborists remove dead or overgrown branches to improve structure, promote growth, and reduce the risk of branch failure – keeping your trees looking great and your property safer.
Emergency Storm & Tree Removal Services
Storms don't follow a schedule – and neither do we. Our dedicated emergency team is available 24/7 to respond to fallen trees, downed limbs, and post-storm hazards. Fast response. Safe removal. Peace of mind restored.
Arborist Reporting
Need a professional assessment? Our ISA-certified arborists provide detailed reports for permits, insurance claims, property disputes, or development projects. Clear, reliable documentation you can act on.
Stump Grinding & Removal
A leftover stump is more than an eyesore – it's a tripping hazard and an obstacle for your next landscaping project. We grind stumps down to below grade so your yard is clean, safe, and ready for what's next.
Tree Risk Assessments
A formal risk assessment identifies structural defects, root issues, and site hazards – and assigns a risk rating based on ISA methodology. Essential for insurance purposes, property transactions, and liability management.
Certified Arborists Serving York
York has some of the older residential tree stock in the GTA. Mature maples, oaks, and silver birches are common across the neighbourhood - and so are the problems that come with trees that have been growing for 40 or 50 years without much attention.
Our team is ISA-certified and OCT-trained, with over a decade of hands-on experience across Toronto. We know how Toronto's tree bylaw applies in York, what to look for on mature properties, and how to work safely on lots where there isn't much room to manoeuvre.
Every job is backed by $5,000,000 in liability insurance and completed by working-at-heights certified professionals. Proof of Insurance and WSIB Clearance Certificates are available on request.

Signs You Need a Tree Service in York
Leaning or shifting trunk. A tree that has started leaning recently may have root damage underneath. On York's narrower lots, a falling tree can reach a fence, a neighbour's property, or a parked car quickly.
Dead or dying branches. Deadwood doesn't hold. Branches can drop without warning and the longer they stay up, the heavier and more brittle they get.
Fungal growth or visible decay. Shelf mushrooms at the base, soft spots in the trunk, or large areas of missing bark usually mean the decay is further along than it looks from the outside.
Branches growing toward your house or utility lines. Ice loading on overhanging branches puts real stress on whatever they're touching. This is one of the most common causes of roof and fence damage we see in York.
A tree that hasn't been pruned in years. Mature trees that have gone a long time without pruning often have crossing branches, deadwood buildup, and weight distribution issues that aren't safe to ignore.
Post-storm damage. A tree can look fine after a storm while having taken serious structural damage. A quick inspection is cheaper than dealing with a failure later.

How Much Does Tree Service Cost in York?
Pricing depends on the size of the tree, where it sits on the property, what equipment is needed to access it, and the scope of work. Emergency callouts and permit-required removals are priced differently than a standard pruning visit.
The most accurate way to get a number is to have one of our arborists walk the property. We do that at no charge, and we don't start any work until you've approved a written quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tree trimming cost in York?
It depends on the size of the tree, how much work the canopy needs, and access on the property. A tree that hasn't been trimmed in several years typically takes more time than one on a regular maintenance schedule. We assess in person and give you a written quote before anything starts.
Do you provide tree trimming and pruning in Hanwell?
Yes. We service Hanwell and surrounding York neighbourhoods regularly. Call us or request a quote online to confirm coverage and get scheduled.
What is a tree health assessment and when is it needed?
A health assessment looks at the overall condition of a tree - canopy density, bark integrity, root zone, and signs of disease or pest activity. It's useful when a tree looks like it's declining but the cause isn't obvious, or before buying a property with mature trees on the lot.
Can you move a tree instead of removing it?
In some cases yes. Tree transplanting is possible for younger or smaller trees with intact root systems. Our arborists assess whether the tree is a good candidate before recommending it - not every tree survives a move.
What does a tree surgeon do differently from a regular tree service?
A tree surgeon handles more complex structural work - cabling, bracing, crown reduction, and targeted pruning to correct defects. It's the same crew with additional training and techniques for trees that need more than basic maintenance.
Do you handle complete tree care for properties in York on an ongoing basis?
Yes. We work with homeowners who want scheduled visits for pruning, health checks, and general maintenance rather than calling only when there's a problem. Ask about maintenance contracts when you request your assessment.
