In Toronto, ON, typical quotes tend to come in above the Canadian average, so the table below nudges these national figures up by roughly 15% at the low end of each range and up to 30% at the top end.
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.

| Small tree removal (under 30 ft) | $550 $300 to $900 per tree |
| Medium tree removal (30-60 ft) | $1,200 $700 to $2,100 per tree |

What changes the price of arborists in Toronto
- 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.
- 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.
How arborists 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.

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.
Is tree removal cheaper in winter?
Often, yes. Demand drops in the off-season, frozen ground can make it easier to get equipment in without tearing up the yard, and bare branches are simpler to assess. Many companies quote lower prices in late fall and winter than during peak spring and summer.
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.
