A small ornamental tree under 30 feet starts near $250-$700, while large trees over 60 feet, or hazardous storm-damaged removals, run $2,000-$6,000 or more. Stump grinding, debris hauling, and permits are usually billed on top.
In Ottawa, ON, typical quotes tend to track the Canadian average, so the table below shows these national figures unchanged.
What moves the price: The low end is a small ornamental tree or grinding a stump; the top end is a very tall tree or a hazardous storm-damaged removal, with hauling and permits often billed on top.

| Medium tree removal (30-60 ft) | $1,000 $600 to $1,600 per tree |

What changes the price of tree removal in Ottawa
- Tree height and trunk diameter - the single biggest factor. A towering 70-ft tree can cost five to ten times more than a small ornamental to take down.
- Access and proximity to buildings or power lines - a tree jammed next to the house, fence, or hydro wires has to be climbed and dismantled piece by piece with ropes and rigging instead of simply felled, which adds hours of skilled labour.
- Tree condition and urgency - dead, diseased, leaning, or storm-damaged trees are more dangerous to work on, and unscheduled emergency or same-day jobs carry a premium of roughly 20-50% over a planned removal.
- Extras billed on top - stump grinding, hauling away the debris, and chipping the wood are almost always separate line items, not part of the base removal price.
- Permits and arborist reports - many Canadian cities require a permit (and sometimes a certified arborist report) before you can remove a healthy tree over a set trunk size, adding $50-$400 for the permit and $300-$600 for the report.
- Number of trees and season - booking several trees in one visit lowers the per-tree price, and quotes are often cheaper in late fall and winter than during the busy spring-summer stretch.
How tree removal prices vary across Canada
Big cities cost noticeably more - roughly 20-40% above the national average. Toronto and Vancouver are the priciest, driven both by higher labour rates and by strict tree-protection bylaws that force permits and arborist reports before a healthy tree can come down. In Toronto a typical removal starts around $800 and climbs past $1,800; Vancouver is similar ($400-$2,000+). Calgary, Edmonton, and smaller Prairie and Atlantic markets tend to sit at or slightly below the national average (about $400-$900 typical). Montreal ranges widely.

Why does emergency or fallen-tree removal cost so much more?
Storm work is dangerous and unscheduled, and the tree is often tangled in a roof, fence, or power lines. Crews charge a premium (commonly 20-50% more) and may need extra gear like a crane. For a large tree down on a house, expect $1,500-$4,000 or more.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Often, yes. Many Canadian municipalities require a permit to remove a healthy tree above a set trunk diameter, and cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Mississauga, and Oakville have strict tree-protection bylaws. Permit fees typically run $50-$400, and a required arborist report can add $300-$600. Dead or clearly hazardous trees are sometimes exempt, but you may still have to notify the city. Always check your local bylaw before booking.
Does the removal price include the stump?
Usually not. Most quotes cover cutting down and hauling away the tree only. Grinding the stump is a separate charge, commonly $100-$450 for a single stump (roughly $2-$5 per inch of diameter, with about a $100 minimum). Fully digging out the stump and roots costs more, typically $300-$800.
