A rough storm can leave a tree in bad shape fast - limbs split partway through, a trunk pushed further off vertical than it should be, or occasionally a whole tree down over a driveway, fence, or the boulevard strip along the street.
Keep your distance from anything split, cracked, or caught up in the canopy - it can look stable and still be holding a dangerous amount of tension. Get us on the phone first and we'll assess it before anyone goes near it.
Dated photos and a written rundown of the work come standard on every storm call, so your insurer has what it needs without any extra digging on your part.
If it turns out to be a City-owned tree in the strip near the sidewalk, we'll say so clearly and can point you to the right City contact, since a boulevard tree follows a different process than one on your own property.
Storm work goes straight to the front of the line ahead of scheduled jobs. Same-day response is normal; a storm that rolls through late at night usually means we're there early the next morning instead.
Storm calls to (647) 370-2863 get picked up any time, day or night. This isn't urgent?
Ask regardless - there's a fair chance it's already something we do routinely.
Two things happen in a proper trim: overextended limbs lose the excess weight they've been carrying, and the canopy gains enough breathing room for wind to pass through cleanly instead of catching against a dense mass of leaves - a real factor on the neighbourhood's wide, open boulevards.

Gravity eventually wins on a dead limb - the only real choice is whether it comes down on your terms or during the next windstorm.

We only put removal on the table once everything short of it has been ruled out - real structural failure, decay that's gone too deep, or a hazard that's become impossible to manage any other way, never a judgment made from the curb.

The two aren't the same fix. Thinning removes some of the interior clutter without changing the tree's overall size; reduction actually pulls the crown inward, which tends to be the better call on a tight townhouse lot where a tree has simply outgrown the gap to the building next door.
View Crown Thinning and Canopy Reduction
Rather than lose the whole tree over one compromised point, cabling shores up just that spot on its own - hardware placed high in the crown keeps a weak fork or overloaded limb from moving too far, which counts for more along this neighbourhood's open, wind-exposed boulevards than in a tucked-away backyard.

Once a tree comes down, the stump is the one piece still left to deal with, and grinding is what actually clears it - cut low enough below grade that the spot is truly ready for lawn or a fresh planting, instead of sitting there as a bump you have to mow around.

A ballpark size, its spot on the property, and the reason for the call is enough to open a file. Prefer to explain it out loud? Call (647) 370-2863 instead.
