How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Vaughan?

Tree removal in Vaughan typically costs $300 to $800 for a small tree, $800 to $2,000 for a medium one and $2,000 to $5,000 or more for a large tree, based on typical Canadian ranges for 2026. Where your tree falls inside its band depends on access, what sits under it, its condition and the stump. We give you a firm number, free, on the day you call (289) 444-0864.

Price by Tree Size

Height sets the starting band, and trunk width matters almost as much. A 20 m silver maple with a 70 cm trunk on an older Woodbridge street needs far more cuts, rigging and hauling than a 20 m spruce with a trunk half that width. As a rough guide:

• Under about 9 m (30 ft): ornamental trees, young maples, cedars and crabapples. $300 to $800.
• About 9 to 18 m (30 to 60 ft): most backyard maples, ash and spruce in Maple and Vellore Village. $800 to $2,000.
• Over about 18 m (60 ft): mature silver maples, willows and big spruce near houses. $2,000 to $5,000 or more.

Six Things That Move the Price

Two trees of the same height can land at opposite ends of a price range. These six factors explain why.

Trunk Width and Spread

More wood means more cuts and more loads to the chipper and truck. A wide crown also means more limbs to lower one at a time.

Access

A front-yard tree with the truck parked beside it is the cheapest setup. A backyard tree behind a 90 cm side gate, common on newer Patterson and Vellore Village lots, means carrying every piece out by hand. That can add hours.

What Sits Underneath

Roof, garage, deck, pool, fence, hydro service line or the neighbour’s shed. Anything we can’t drop wood on means sectional takedown with ropes, which takes longer than letting pieces fall into open lawn.

Condition of the Wood

Dead ash and storm-split trees snap without warning, so they can need extra rigging and slower work. That is why the typical range for a dead or ash tree runs $400 to $3,500 rather than following size alone.

Number of Trees

Setup happens once. Three trees on one visit cost less than three separate bookings.

The Stump

The removal price takes the tree down to a low stump. Grinding typically adds $150 to $500 per stump, and doing it on the same visit saves a second trip. Our tree removal page covers how we handle both on one day.

City Costs on Top

A healthy private tree 20 cm or wider needs a City of Vaughan permit with an arborist report, and the City charges a fee it sets, so check the current amount with them. Replacement planting can be a permit condition. Dead, hazardous and ash trees still need a permit, but with no fee and no replacement.

Commercial Lots

Plazas, rental properties and industrial lots in Concord follow the same price drivers, plus working hours, parking-lot traffic and how much of the site has to stay open during the job.

Why the Quote Happens On Site

A phone price is a guess, padded to cover what nobody has seen. On the visit we measure the trunk, check the gate width, look at the wires and the lean, and hand you one number. It is free and it stays firm. A photo by text helps us plan the visit; it doesn’t replace it.

Ways to Pay Less

• Ask whether the tree needs to come out. A trim at $250 to $800 sometimes solves the problem, and we will say so.
• Bundle trees and stumps into one visit.
• Keep the wood for the fire pit.
• Clear the path: move the car, the patio set and anything along the side yard before the crew arrives.
