Whether it's a dead elm leaning toward the garage or a healthy tree that's simply in the wrong spot, full tree removal isn't a job for a weekend and a chainsaw. Our matched crews are licensed, insured, and equipped to take down trees of any size — including the tricky ones wedged between a fence, a shed, and a power line.

When you need full removal

  • The tree is dead, dying, or visibly diseased
  • Storm damage has left it cracked, split, or leaning
  • Roots are threatening a foundation, driveway, or sewer line
  • It's blocking a construction, landscaping, or fencing project
  • It's simply grown too large or too close to the house

How our local crews handle a removal

Every job starts with a free, no-obligation assessment — a crew looks at the tree's size, condition, and access before quoting a price. From there:

  1. Site check. Confirming property lines, boulevard status, and anything overhead (power lines, structures) that changes the approach.
  2. Safe takedown. Larger, open-yard trees usually come down as a whole section; tight-access trees are taken down piece by piece with rigging to protect nearby structures.
  3. Full cleanup. Wood and brush are hauled away and the site is left clean — stump grinding can be added on if you want the stump gone too.
Boulevard trees belong to the City of Winnipeg — homeowners can't remove or prune them without City approval. And if the tree is a Dutch Elm Disease–infected American elm, it needs to be reported to 311 before it comes down, with specific rules for handling the wood.

Common questions

In most cases, no — but boulevard trees require City of Winnipeg approval, and American elms fall under Manitoba's Dutch Elm Disease rules. Your matched crew will confirm what applies before starting.

Most residential removals are finished in a few hours to a full day, depending on size and access. Tight-access jobs that need sectional takedown or crane work can take longer.

Standard removals include full cleanup and hauling — wood, branches, and debris are all taken away unless you'd rather keep the wood for firewood.
