Escarpment Tree Trimming has served homeowners across Hamilton and the surrounding area since 2013, handling everything from routine trimming to emergency storm damage removal.

We're here when you need us, from scheduled maintenance to 24/7 emergency response.
Our Expertise in Hamilton, L8P 1A1
Hamilton sits on the Niagara Escarpment with a tree canopy shaped by Ontario's climate and soil. Silver and sugar maples dominate our mature streets; red and white oaks anchor older neighbourhoods; birch and Norway spruce thrive in our ravine lots. Nearly every property line carries a cedar hedge, and many yards are accessible only through a standard gate, which means our crews must work efficiently in tight spaces without damaging fences, gardens or parked cars.
The emerald ash borer has claimed thousands of ash trees across the Hamilton area, leaving behind brittle, unsafe specimens that require careful removal or preventive treatment. Ice storms and summer windstorms regularly split limbs over houses, service lines and driveways, creating urgent hazards. We've managed these challenges for over a decade, and we know exactly how to navigate the City of Hamilton's permit requirements, approach distances near private electrical service entrances, and the logistics of working safely around Hydro One's public distribution network.

How a Tree Care Visit Works in Hamilton
Your first step is a free estimate. Call us at (289) 796-3100 or request a quote online, and we'll visit your property to assess the work, discuss options, and provide a clear price. If your tree removal requires a City of Hamilton permit, we can prepare an arborist report to support your application.
On the day of work, our crew arrives with the right equipment for your site. Whether we're trimming a cedar hedge in your backyard, grinding a stump in a ravine lot, or removing a declining ash from a tight space, we work methodically and safely. We respect approach distances around your private service entrance and never touch the public hydro network. We document storm damage with photos for your insurance claim if needed.
When we leave, the site is clean. We chip branches on-site or haul debris away, sweep up wood chips, and restore your property to working order. You'll see the difference immediately.
Our pricing reflects the complexity of your specific job. Cedar hedge trimming starts from $75; low branch removal from $95; wood chipping from $110; stump grinding from $125; tree disease diagnosis from $125; fruit tree pruning from $165; tree pruning and crown reduction from $265; tree trimming from $295; tree planting from $225; and arborist reports from $195. Tree removal, full stump removal, emergency callouts, land clearing, tree cabling and bracing, emerald ash borer assessment, and ash tree removal are quoted individually because site access, tree size, and urgency vary widely across Hamilton and the surrounding municipalities. Request a free estimate and we'll provide an exact quote within 24 hours.
