Old trees need a few careful cuts
From the lakeshore up to the QEW, Lorne Park Tree Service keeps big yard trees safe: trimming, removals, storm cleanup and stumps. Our arborists carry full insurance. Before any saw starts, you hold a written price from a free visit.
Most trees here are older and larger than the Mississauga average. A mature oak or maple over a roof needs a few well-chosen cuts, planned from the ground first. That is how we work. You can read who we are or send us a photo of the tree.

Why trees fail near the lake
Wind and ice come straight off Lake Ontario
Streets south of Lakeshore Road take the wind with nothing to slow it down. Freezing rain coats a wide crown in ice, and long, heavy limbs snap first. Thinning and shortening those limbs before winter takes weight off the canopy where it matters.
Trees on ravine slopes lean and lose roots
Along Sheridan Creek and the edges of Rattray Marsh, trees grow on slopes and wet soil. Trunks bend out toward open sky, and spring runoff strips soil from the low side of the root plate. A lean that is getting worse is worth a look before the next storm.
Old oaks need winter pruning
Many Lorne Park lots still carry oaks older than the houses. Cutting an oak between April and October invites oak wilt, carried by beetles that find fresh wounds, so oak pruning waits for November through March. Book summer oak work now and we schedule it for the cold months.
Ash trees are dying off
Emerald ash borer wiped out most of the city's ash. Once an ash dies, its wood dries hard and snaps, sending dead wood down with no warning. It is also harder to climb safely the longer it stands, so it costs less to remove sooner.
What tree work costs in Lorne Park
Ballpark figures only. What you pay is the number on the paper we hand you after the walk-around.
| Trimming a small or mid-size tree | $300 to $800 |
|---|---|
| Trimming a large, mature tree | $800 to $1,500+ |
| Removing a small tree | $500 to $1,200 |
| Removing a large tree in a tight yard | $2,000 to $5,000+ |
| Grinding a stump | $150 to $450 |
| Cabling a split fork | $400 to $1,200 |
Do you need a City permit?
Taking down a private tree whose trunk measures 15 cm across or more calls for a City of Mississauga permit. Plan on $399.77 for the application, then $139.72 on top for every additional healthy tree listed. Allow as long as 30 business days for a decision.
A dead or dying tree carries no fee. Expect to plant a native tree in return for every 15 cm of trunk that comes out.
Pruning is permit-free, so tree trimming can start as soon as you book. Boulevard trees out front are looked after by the City through 311, and Alectra Utilities handles branches on the main power lines.

Common questions
How much does tree trimming cost in Lorne Park?
Budget between $300 and $800 for a small or medium tree, and from $800 past $1,500 for a big mature one. Getting gear into the yard shapes the cost as much as height does. The figure on your written quote is final.
Do I need a permit to trim a tree?
No. The City only asks for a permit when a tree of 15 cm trunk width or larger is coming out, and trimming never triggers it.
Can you come the same day for storm damage?
Yes, as soon as a crew can work safely. Phone (289) 206-8232. A trunk through a roof or across a car outranks a limb on the lawn.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully insured, on small lots and big estate properties alike.
Do you haul everything away?
Yes. Everything goes on the truck. Want to keep firewood or a pile of chips for the beds? Just say so.
