Tree Removal in Preston
Tree work through Preston, from the old streets off King and Dolph to the Speed River lots around Riverside Park and the post-war blocks toward Hespeler Road.
Preston's older core was laid out in the 1800s on narrow lots, and the maples and spruce planted a metre from the house a century ago are now on the roof, over the neighbour and beyond the reach of any machine from the back. That makes Preston crane country: a crane on King Street or a side street lifting sections over the house is often cheaper and far safer than two days of rigging in a yard with a one-metre side passage. The Speed River lots around Riverside Park and down toward the confluence with the Grand add the GRCA's regulated area to the picture, and the willows and silver maples there grow tall and one-sided over the water. Virtually every mature tree in Preston is over the City's 20 cm permit threshold, so a healthy tree removal here means the arborist report, the application and replacement trees or cash-in-lieu, with several weeks built into the schedule, while the plentiful dead ash goes through the quicker dead-tree request. Boundary trees between the narrow lots need the neighbour's signed consent under the by-law before the application goes in.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Cambridge tree permit apply in Ayr?
No. Ayr is in North Dumfries Township, so Cambridge's By-law 23-105 stops at the city boundary and the township's own requirements apply. The Region's Woodland Conservation By-law and the CFIA ash regulated area cover the whole region including North Dumfries. We confirm the rules for the address before quoting.
Is there a travel charge for Blair or Ayr?
No. The villages and township properties around Cambridge are quoted on the same terms as the city. The tree, the access and the paperwork set the price, not the distance.
Do you handle the permit application for me?
Yes, where one is needed. The arborist report, the photographs and the application go in together, and the neighbour's consent form is organised with you for a boundary tree. The City's application fee and any cash-in-lieu are paid to the City and shown separately on the quote.
