Tree Removal and Stump Grinding

There is always an end to any journey, and unfortunately this is the same for trees resulting in removal. Perhaps due to old age, a freak storm or human intervention, a tree may become unsafe, a hazard to person, property or damaged to a point where other preservations methods are ineffective and costly. Perhaps you should remove the tree, but only after a detailed tree assessment and analysis by an Arborist. Our staff can aid you in this decision making process and determine the best course of action for your tree.

We specialize in dangerous removals.

Tree removals are hazardous and should be undertaken by professionals only. The objective is to remove the tree safely, effectively and minimize risk to person and property. Techniques in tree removal such as speed lining, the use of cranes and the latest in arboricultural advances are used by Shady Lane to complete this task.

After the brush, branches, wood and debris are removed and taken away the result is the stump. And while most people are satisfied at this stage, why not remove the stump also so that a new tree can be planted or a new garden developed. The stumping procedure turns the stump into a mixture of soil and wood chips.

It is beneficial at this time to analyze the site to discover any factors that may have lead to the decline of the tree. It could have been insufficient water, too much moisture, root compaction, or poor soil conditions, to name a few. As Certified Arborists we can ascertain and alleviate these problems so they do not subject future trees to the same conditions and provide better site conditions.

Bylaws

Within the GTA tree bylaws have become a common practice by our municipalities in effort to keep our cities green. These bylaw limit the removal of trees within a private property with a particular diameter of trunk. For all trees over the determined size an arborist report with an application to the city and a replanting plan is needed. Please refer to the links on the resource page for the municipality in your area for more details.
