Regardless of who's property it is on, you need the city's OK to remove the tree. It doesn't matter who pays for it or who owns the tree in Toronto. They need to send their arborist out, confirm it is dead or dying or diseased and should be removed. Then you can remove it.serbianbelle wrote: ↑ Squirrel99@ Thanks! I have spoken to the city about the tree and it is not on city property, unfortunately. And the tree is high. When I look at it from the second floor window I can barely see the top of it.
F that noise, I don't have that kind of money to waste. I already had a chainsaw, rope, ladder and called a buddy over to help. Had a 20 foot tree down to a stump, with all branches, trunk dumped with his truck to the landfill. Cost was a day's work.torontotim wrote: ↑ Regardless of who's property it is on, you need the city's OK to remove the tree. It doesn't matter who pays for it or who owns the tree in Toronto.

Here's my dying elm removed from our back yard 8 years ago. My tree, my $2500 bill, but the city had to OK it.
Depending on location, if there's tree preservation bylaws (most urban municipalities will have one), you will need an arborist to certify the tree is diseased/dead and removed regardless of who does the removalserbianbelle wrote: ↑ Large tree that is hollow inside, bark is coming off and it's splitting needs to be cut down and removed. Don't even know who to call and with the size of the tree I can imagine something like this will be quite expensive. MY son suggested I call arborist, I'm not trying to save it, need to remove it before it falls to prevent damage to anything around.
Ooooooh - big man with a chainsaw.
And $2500 still in my pocket, this is RFD after all.torontotim wrote: ↑ Ooooooh - big man with a chainsaw.

Do you take your car to the mechanic to change your wiper blades too?
I took out 100ft of hedge by myself including an aluminum fence/posts and all, with hand tools and a hi-lift jack with chain - roots and all. When you have manpower, there's a way. I work too hard for my money to throw it away.
