Leamington’s lakefront and farm properties lose trees to Lake Erie storms each year, and dead ash is common in Wheatley, Mersea and along rural roads. Point Pelee area properties may have conservation restrictions on tree removal.
Uptown Leamington has early-1900s to 1950s homes, with 1960s to 1980s bungalows in the surrounding grid and newer subdivisions on the north and east edges driven by greenhouse-sector growth. Seacliff and Point Pelee Drive are lakefront areas with cottages and larger newer homes. Wheatley is a historic fishing village with older homes, and the surrounding rural area is farm properties and greenhouse operations on septic and wells. Housing demand from agricultural workers has produced many secondary suites and conversions, not all permitted.

Tree Service in Leamington: FAQs
How much does tree removal cost in Leamington?
In 2026, removing a small tree in Leamington typically costs $400 to $1,200, a medium tree $1,200 to $3,200, and a large mature tree $3,000 to $8,000. Access, proximity to structures and wires, and whether the tree is dead and brittle are the main factors. Stump grinding is usually $150 to $450 extra.
Do I need a permit to cut down a tree in Leamington?
Trees on your own private lot in Leamington generally do not need a permit, but municipal trees on the boulevard, woodlots covered by the Essex County Woodlands Conservation By-law, and properties in Essex Region Conservation Authority regulated areas have rules. The crews we match in Leamington will confirm before cutting.
Can I get emergency tree removal in Leamington after a storm?
Yes. Our matched tree services offer emergency response in Leamington for trees on houses, garages, vehicles and across driveways, often within hours. Take photos first for your insurer and keep the invoice.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Windsor?
For a tree entirely on your own private property in the City of Windsor, generally no. Trees on City property, including boulevard trees between the sidewalk and the street, are protected and require the City’s involvement. In the county, the Essex County Woodlands Conservation By-law applies to woodlots above a minimum size, and properties near watercourses or the shoreline may fall under Essex Region Conservation Authority regulation. Your tree company should confirm before cutting.
My ash tree is dead. Is it urgent?
Yes. Ash killed by the Emerald Ash Borer dries out and becomes brittle within a year or two of dying. Limbs and whole tops can fail without wind. If a dead ash is within falling distance of your house, your neighbour’s house, a driveway or a sidewalk, remove it this season. Nearly all untreated ash in Essex County is now dead or dying.
How much does it cost to remove a big silver maple?
A mature silver maple of 60 to 80 feet over a house in Windsor typically costs $3,000 to $8,000 to remove in 2026, depending on access, how much has to be rigged over the roof and whether a crane is needed. Stump grinding is usually extra. Trees with open backyard access and a drop zone are at the low end.
Who is responsible for a tree on the property line?
Under Ontario’s Forestry Act, a tree whose trunk straddles the boundary is co-owned, and neither owner can remove it without the other’s consent. You may prune branches that overhang your side back to the property line, as long as you do not harm the tree. Get agreement in writing before removal.
