Windsor's oldest neighbourhoods are canopied by enormous silver maples and heritage oaks that arch over brick-house streets, but they need expert care to stay safe and healthy. Many properties also carry the legacy of the emerald ash borer, with dead ash standing as hazards, while cedar hedges line nearly every property boundary across the N9A 6S1 postal code and beyond.
Rose City Tree Trimming has served Windsor and the surrounding area since 2014, bringing ISA Certified Arborists to the specific challenges of this southernmost Ontario city: heavy clay soils, ice storms, windstorms, ravine lots with steep access, and tight backyards reachable only through a standard gate. We handle tree removal, trimming, pruning, stump grinding, and emergency storm damage with the local knowledge homeowners in Windsor depend on.
Our Expertise in Windsor (N9A 6S1)
Windsor's tree canopy is shaped by species common to Ontario: silver and sugar maple, red and white oak, birch, Norway spruce, and black locust. The emerald ash borer has left standing dead ash across the region, creating urgent safety concerns for homeowners. Cedar hedges define property lines on nearly every lot. The terrain itself is distinctive: ravine properties with steep access, mature street trees in post-war subdivisions, and older brick homes with limited yard space.
Our crews understand the clay-heavy soil that cracks in dry summers and holds water each spring, the freeze-thaw cycles that split limbs, and the windstorms and ice storms that bring down branches or trunk sections without warning. We've worked on Windsor properties for over a decade, navigating the City's permit requirements for private tree removal (often supported by an arborist report), respecting approach distances near private electrical service entrances, and working safely around the public distribution network operated by Hydro One. When a tree touches the public lines, we refer the matter to your local utility or Hydro One; we never work on the distribution network itself.

How a Tree Care Visit Works in Windsor
Step one: you contact us by phone at (855) 510-1827 or request a free estimate online. We ask about the tree, the work you need, and any concerns specific to your property (tight access, proximity to the house, underground utilities). For removals that may require a municipal permit, we discuss whether an arborist report will support your application to the City of Windsor.
Step two: our ISA Certified Arborist or crew lead visits your property in Windsor, assesses the tree or trees, identifies any hazards, and provides a detailed free quote. If an arborist report is needed for a permit, we can prepare one. We explain the work, the timeline, and any site-specific challenges (ravine access, narrow gate, clay conditions, or proximity to structures).
Step three: once you approve, we schedule the work at a time that suits you. Our crews arrive with the right equipment, complete the job safely and efficiently, and leave your property clean. We chip wood on site if you wish, haul debris, or arrange for materials to be removed. We document the work for your records and for any insurance claim if storm damage is involved.
Pricing in Windsor varies by the scope of work, the size and species of the tree, access to the site, and whether the job is routine or urgent. Tree trimming typically starts from $195; tree pruning from $165; stump grinding from $95; hedge and cedar hedge trimming from $50. Larger removals, full stump and root removal, tree cabling and bracing, emerald ash borer treatment, ash tree removal, wood chipping, deadwood and branch removal, trees near power lines, fruit tree pruning, tree planting, lot and land clearing, tree disease diagnosis, and arborist reports and risk assessments are quoted individually. Ravine lots, tight backyards, or difficult access can increase labour and equipment costs. Emergency tree removal is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Always request a free estimate: we'll assess your specific situation and give you a transparent quote before any work begins.
