Junction Tree Service looks after trees on the streets of the Junction, over in the Junction Triangle, down in Baby Point and through the nearby west end. We trim, prune, cable, remove and grind stumps for homeowners, landlords and small businesses. Insurance covers the work from setup to cleanup.
We chose to focus on this part of Toronto because its trees need a certain kind of care. The houses are old and close together, the lots are narrow, and most wires still run overhead. Big trees here grow in tight spaces, and that shapes every job we take on. Visit our home page to see the full list of services.
Each job begins with a free visit. We look at the tree from every side, check the wires and the lane, and figure out the safest way to bring each piece down. Afterward, a quote on paper sets out each tree, each task, the cleanup and any permit step.
On the day, the crew arrives on time and sets up a safe zone below the tree. We climb, rig and lower wood by rope when there is anything below to protect. When the cutting is done, we chip the branches, haul the logs and rake the yard. Before we leave, we walk through it with you.
The Junction grew fast as a railway and factory town in the late 1800s. It became a town in 1889, a city in 1908, and joined Toronto in 1909. Many of the houses from those years are still standing, and so are some of the trees planted beside them.
That history leaves a clear mark on tree work today. Semi-detached and row houses sit on narrow lots with side gates barely wide enough for a wheelbarrow. Many yards back onto lanes with garages behind them. Hydro wires cross between poles right above the yards. A tree job here means planning for all three at once.
The area also has large parks and green edges nearby. High Park lies to the south, and Baby Point sits above the Humber River, where the City's ravine protection rules may apply. We keep these rules in mind so your project goes ahead without trouble.
We put everything in writing, from the scope to the price. Prices track what Toronto tree work actually costs, and each service page lists a range so you have a rough idea early. Your quote holds as written.
We treat your neighbours' property with the same care as yours. Fences, sheds, flower beds and parked cars next door are protected just as closely as your own. When a job needs access from a neighbour's side, we help you ask.
We keep you informed. If a City permit is needed, we explain the steps. Saving a tree through pruning or cabling always comes up before cutting it down does.
Dial (647) 370-3833 to arrange a visit, or send the form and expect a callback with a few time options. The visit and the written quote cost nothing. The Junction Tree Service home page has more about each service we offer.
These are the tree jobs we take on most across the Junction and nearby streets.
Our tree trimming and pruning keeps big old trees in the Junction clear of roofs, wires and the lot next door. Our arborists leave the swollen collar where a limb meets the trunk intact, so the bark can close over the wound in time.

With dead branch removal, our arborists cut away the grey, lifeless wood in a crown while it is still up there, instead of waiting for a gust or an ice load to send it onto shingles, windshields or pedestrians. Each lifeless limb is cut back to healthy tissue and brought down on a line.

Our emergency storm damage cleanup crews pull downed trees and snapped limbs off Junction roofs, vehicles, fences and laneways at any hour. We make the scene safe first, then remove the wood and clean up the yard.

Tree removal on a tight Junction lot is done piece by piece, from the top down, with each section lowered by rope so the houses and fences around it stay untouched. We handle the permit questions, the rigging and the full cleanup.

With crown thinning and canopy reduction, an oversized tree keeps its trunk and its place in the yard while shedding weight and spread. Thinning removes selected inner limbs so wind and light pass through, and reduction shortens the outer branches so the tree takes up less space over a house or yard.

Tree cabling and bracing give a weak fork or cracked union in a mature tree the extra strength to hold together. Steel cables are fixed high in the crown to link heavy stems, and rods are placed through split areas to keep them from spreading.

Our stump grinding and removal service turns a leftover stump into a shallow bed of chips under the soil line, ready for sod, pavers or a new planting. Our grinder is narrow enough to squeeze through the typical Junction side gate and into a small fenced yard.
