What to look for when hiring tree services in Forest

  • Verify the arborist holds ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) certification for pruning and hazard assessment — it's the industry standard credential.
  • Confirm they carry at minimum $2 million in liability insurance — tree work near structures carries significant risk and standard coverage may not be sufficient.
  • Ask whether stump grinding is included in the removal quote or priced separately, and whether all debris is hauled away.
  • Get multiple quotes for large or complex removals — prices vary significantly based on tree size, access, and proximity to structures or utilities.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tree Services in Forest

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Ontario?
Permit requirements vary by municipality. Many Ontario towns protect large or heritage trees and require a permit before removal. Some areas also restrict tree work during bird nesting season (April–July). Check with your local municipality or ask your arborist before removing significant trees.
How much does tree removal cost in Lambton County?
Small tree removal (under 20 ft) typically costs $300–$700. Medium trees (20–50 ft) run $700–$1,800. Large mature trees (over 50 ft) can cost $1,500–$4,000+ depending on access difficulty, proximity to structures, and disposal requirements.
What is the best time of year to prune trees in Ontario?
Late winter to early spring (February–April), before new growth begins, is generally the best time for most pruning in Ontario. Pruning during dormancy reduces tree stress and limits exposure to disease and insects. Some species have specific timing requirements — an ISA-certified arborist can advise.
How do I know if a tree on my property is hazardous?
Warning signs include large dead branches, a significant lean toward a structure, cracks or splits in the main trunk, heaving or exposed roots at the base, hollow sections, or visible fungal growth. An ISA-certified arborist can assess risk levels and recommend the appropriate action.
