How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Northern Ontario? (2025 Guide)

One of the most common questions we get from homeowners across Northern Ontario is: 'How much does it cost to remove a tree?' The honest answer is that tree removal pricing varies significantly based on several key factors. This guide will walk you through what affects the cost and help you understand what a fair price looks like in our region — whether you're in Temiskaming Shores, Kirkland Lake, New Liskeard, or anywhere in between.

Key Factors That Affect Tree Removal Cost

1. Tree Size

This is the biggest factor. A small ornamental tree in an open yard is a very different job from a 60-foot white spruce growing beside your house. Larger trees require more time, more equipment, and more crew members to remove safely.

2. Location and Accessibility

A tree in the middle of an open field is straightforward. A tree wedged between your house and your fence, or overhanging power lines, requires specialized rigging techniques and significantly more time. Difficult access — like a backyard that equipment can't reach — also adds to the cost.

3. Tree Condition

Dead, diseased, or structurally compromised trees are often more dangerous and unpredictable to remove than healthy ones. This can add to the cost, though it also means the job is more urgent.

4. Stump Removal

Tree removal and stump grinding are typically priced separately. If you want the stump removed as well, expect to add to the total cost. Ian's Tree Service offers competitive stump grinding pricing for the Northern Ontario area.

5. Travel Distance

In Northern Ontario, travel distance is a real factor. Ian's Tree Service makes regular trips to Kirkland Lake, Temiskaming Shores, New Liskeard, Englehart, Cobalt, Elk Lake, and Temagami — and prices fairly for the distance.

General Price Ranges (Northern Ontario, 2025)

• Small tree (under 20 ft): $300 – $600
• Medium tree (20–50 ft): $600 – $1,500
• Large tree (50–80 ft): $1,500 – $3,000+

These are general ranges only. Every job is unique, and the best way to get an accurate price is to text Ian directly with details about your tree and property.

Why Cheapest Isn't Always Best
