Burford Tree Service
Burford, Ontario
Serving Burford & the country west of Brantford
(226) 546-3837Open ground is the cheapest tree removal situation there is. A truck parks beside the trunk, sections are dropped straight onto grass, and the chipper sits a few steps away.
That is the ordinary tree removal situation on a farm lane or a field edge around Burford, and it shows up in the price. Village lots with buildings and wires nearby cost considerably more for the same tree.
Loose sand cuts both ways for tree removal. It carries machinery well in wet weather, which is a real advantage over clay townships, but it gives outriggers and cranes very little to bear on.
On deep dry sand a crane pad has to be built up before the machine can lift safely. Where that applies, it is on the quote before you agree to anything.
These four conditions normally rule tree trimming out and point to tree removal:
- The tree is dead outright rather than declining, which describes nearly every ash still standing here - Rot near the foot of the stem, generally announced by fungus at the base, well past what a saw can correct - A fork that has parted and opens a little more every year - Broken or heaved ground on one flank of the stem, proof the root plate is on the move
Noticing even one of these justifies a call. Somebody comes out, looks properly, tells you honestly what it needs, and confirms it on paper.
Two years after death an ash will often still take a climber. Five years after, it will not, because the unions a climbing line anchors to are the first things to go.
Climbing off the table means tree removal from an aerial lift or beneath a crane, and the figure jumps. Leave the dead ash another year and one more affordable tree removal option disappears.
After a tree removal, choose a species that suits dry sand rather than one that merely looks good in a catalogue. Bur oak, red oak, hackberry and honey locust all do well here.
Plant it in the fall, water through the first two summers, and keep fresh chip clear of the stem, because decomposing chip draws nitrogen from nearby soil.
Where a tree has reached the end, tree removal is available in Burford, Bishopsgate, Harley, Cathcart and the concessions nearby, and quoting it is free.

After felling there is still something in the ground, and stump grinding and removal is what takes it out. Its price stands apart from the felling price, so the choice is yours to make. Insurance covers the work, and we serve Burford and the old township.
View Stump Grinding and RemovalGive us the problem and the address. A site visit comes first, then a written quote that spells out how the work gets done, where the debris ends up, and what falls outside the figure.
Include the species and a rough height if either is known to you. Always include the road, since getting a truck in matters more to the price than the tree does. Say what lies under the crown. Mark anything storm related as urgent. Everything else is optional apart from your contact details. You are welcome to call us instead on (226) 546-3837.
