Most medium to large tree removals in Toronto require a permit — a process that can be complex, time-consuming, and costly. Our certified arborists streamline approvals, with over 90% of our removal requests approved by the City. We provide arborist reports for everything from single tree removals to large-scale projects tied to additions, renovations, or demolition.

Tree removals are regulated by city by-laws. While dead or hazardous trees can often be removed without a permit, healthy trees require an arborist report and formal approval. White Glove guides you through the process, securing permits when needed and helping you stay compliant. In many cases, proper pruning can save a tree — saving you time, money, and risk.

Tree trimming and pruning are essential for maintaining safe, healthy, and attractive trees. Regular care prevents overgrowth, improves resistance to disease and pests, reduces the risk of property damage, and enhances curb appeal — all while supporting strong, balanced growth.
 

In the event of fallen trees, limbs, or property damage, White Glove provides fast, competitive cleanup services — working directly with your insurance company to simplify the process. We prioritize emergency and storm damage calls, clearing our schedule to respond quickly when you need us most.

Most stumps take many years to decompose. Before that, they can be unsightly, pose a tripping hazard, or take up valuable space.  Grinding out a stump after removal is the best way to reclaim your yard. It makes planting a replacement tree faster and easier, or provides you the freedom to fill that space with whatever you’d like.

In the case of some removals, the City of Toronto requires that a replacement tree be planted. Deciding what species to plant depends on many factors, from planting location, to soil type, to personal taste. We provide you with replacement tree recommendations, and make arrangements to plant them. Replanting trees always enhances your property value.
