The neighbourhood we work traces back to 1907, when it was laid out as one of Toronto's first planned garden suburbs - and Lawrence Park Tree Service is built around what that history actually means in practice: trees that have often grown untouched for close to a hundred years. Full insurance backs every job we take on.
A price never gets set before someone's actually stood in front of the tree. Its likely age and condition both factor in, and the written number follows from that, not the other way around.
The neighbourhood's boulevards and parks were designed by Howard and Lorrie Dunington-Grubb, the landscape architects who went on to found Sheridan Nurseries, and that original planting scheme is still visible in how the mature trees here are spaced and positioned. Because the build-out itself stretched from before the First World War into the 1950s, the canopy isn't uniform in age - reading which era a tree belongs to, and what that means for its remaining lifespan, shapes most of the recommendations we make.
Real insurance and a written price come standard on every job, not as an upsell. We take a tree's age and structural history seriously at the quote stage, and we leave the property the way we found it.
A call to (647) 370-3917 works, as does a note through the contact page or a scan of what we offer before you decide.
The same standard applies across everything we offer.
A well-planned trim removes what's failing or in the way while leaving the tree's natural form intact - and on a hundred-year-old tree, getting that judgment right matters more than on a young one still finding its shape.

A dead branch has already made its decision - it's coming down eventually, the only open question is when and onto what. Getting ahead of it before that answer arrives on its own is the whole point of this service.

Storm damage on a hundred-year-old tree can mean a lot more wood coming down than expected, and we treat every call that way until we've actually seen the site.
View Emergency Storm Damage Cleanup
Removal is the last recommendation we make, not the first, but when a tree's decline or damage has gone past the point of saving, we handle the whole job - cutting, hauling and cleanup in one visit.
View Tree Removal
Outgrowing its original footprint isn't, by itself, a reason to remove a tree that's spent a hundred years getting to this size. Thinning and reduction offer a middle path - scaling the canopy back into proportion while keeping the tree that took generations to build.
View Crown Thinning and Canopy Reduction
A cable installed between two major limbs takes the load off a weak union before it fails - often the difference between keeping a tree that's stood for a century and losing it over one bad storm.
View Tree Cabling and Bracing
Left alone, a stump sticks around far longer than anyone wants to wait, and one from a tree that spent a century building out its root system is no exception. A single grinding visit takes it down below grade, freeing up the spot the same day.
