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.
We typically grind 20 to 30 centimetres down, which clears enough room for lawn or new planting without any risk of hitting old wood later. Going deeper is possible if you've got something like a patio planned for that spot.
It can add a bit of time - ground that was packed down during the original subdivision build tends to grip a root flare tighter than looser soil would, so an older stump on that kind of lot takes a little longer to clear fully.
Only the footprint of the stump itself gets disturbed. The grindings get raked smooth once we're done, and reseeding that patch usually blends it back into the lawn within a season.
The roots close to the surface come out along with the stump. Anything deeper stays put and breaks down naturally on its own over the following years without causing any issues.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
