Uxbridge sits on the Oak Ridges Moraine, where mature maples, oaks and cedars define every property line, and where storm damage moves fast. When ice brings down a limb over your house or a windstorm splits a trunk, you need an arborist who understands the terrain, the trees and the urgency.

Lakeridge Tree Trimming has served Uxbridge and the surrounding Oshawa area since 2011. Our ISA Certified Arborists know the heavy woodlot cover, the ravine lots with steep access, and the hazard assessment that matters more here than anywhere else in the region. We are fully insured, we respect approach distances near hydro lines, and we handle everything from routine cedar hedge trimming to emergency tree removal in the L9P 1T1 postal code and beyond.

Our Expertise in Uxbridge (L9P 1T1)

Uxbridge properties are not typical. Your estate lots and woodlots grow silver and sugar maple, red and white oak, birch and Norway spruce. Cedar hedges run along nearly every property line. Ravine lots mean steep access, tight backyards reachable only through a standard gate, and mature street trees in post-war subdivisions that need careful handling. Derecho country means that hazard assessment and risk mitigation are not optional: they are the difference between a safe property and a liability.

Our crews have worked on thousands of Uxbridge trees. We know which species are prone to storm damage, how to assess a declining ash before it becomes a hazard, and how to remove or trim a tree when space is tight and access is a puzzle. We carry full insurance and we document our work so that your municipal permit application is supported by a credible arborist report. When the City of Oshawa requires a permit for a private tree removal, we help you get it right.

How a Tree Care Visit Works in Uxbridge

Step one: you call us at (289) 367-8616 or request a free estimate online. We ask about the tree, the issue and your timeline. If you need a hazard assessment or an arborist report for a municipal application, we quote that separately and schedule a site visit.

Step two: our crew arrives with the right equipment for your property. On ravine lots, we may rig trees down in sections to avoid damage to structures or utilities. We respect approach distances near your private service entrance and the public hydro network. We use chippers on site when it makes sense, or we haul debris away. Stump grinding is done with precision so that you can replant or rebuild without obstruction.

Step three: we leave the site clean. Chips are spread or removed, branches are cleared, and the ground is raked. Your property looks better than it did before we arrived. For emergency work after a storm, we prioritise safety first and clean-up second, but we always return to finish the job properly.

Tree trimming in Uxbridge starts from $315. Tree pruning and crown reduction begin at $285. Stump grinding runs from $145, and hedge trimming from $95. Larger jobs, removals and hazard assessments are quoted on site because every tree is different. A mature oak on a ravine lot costs more to remove safely than a birch in an open yard. Access, tree size, proximity to structures and the need for rigging all affect the price. We offer free estimates for all work, including emergency removals. Call (289) 367-8616 any time, day or night, and we will assess the job and give you a price on the spot or within 24 hours.

🌳 ISA Certified Arborists — fully insured service in Uxbridge.

Does Uxbridge require a permit to remove a tree on your property?
The City of Oshawa may require a permit for private tree removal, depending on the tree size, location and local bylaws. Rules and thresholds differ from one municipality to the next across the Oshawa area, so it is worth checking before you start work. Our ISA Certified Arborists can prepare an arborist report to support your permit application. We have handled dozens of Uxbridge removals that required municipal approval, and we know the process.
My ash tree is declining and looks unsafe. What should you do?
A declining ash in Uxbridge is often attacked by the emerald ash borer, which kills the tree from inside and makes it brittle and unsafe to climb. We offer free emerald ash borer assessment and tree disease diagnosis from $145. If the tree is a hazard, removal is usually the safest option. If it is still healthy and you want to preserve it, we can discuss emerald ash borer injection from late spring to early summer. Call (289) 367-8616 to book an assessment.
A limb is hanging over my house after a windstorm. How quickly can you respond?
We offer 24/7 emergency tree removal. Storm damage peaks after ice storms and summer windstorms, and we prioritize calls by safety risk. A limb hanging over your house or a car is a hazard, and we will dispatch a crew as soon as we can. Call (289) 367-8616 immediately. We serve Uxbridge and the surrounding area, and we are usually on site within a few hours of a storm.
There is a tree very close to my hydro line. Can you trim it or remove it?
Yes, but with strict limits. We can work on clearance around your private service entrance, the wire from the pole to your house, and we always respect approach distances set by your local utility or Hydro One. We never touch the public distribution network. If a tree is too close to hydro lines for safe work, we will tell you upfront and may recommend that you contact your utility for advice. Call (289) 367-8616 for a free estimate.
When is the best time to trim my cedar hedges or prune my trees?
Cedar hedge trimming is best done in late spring and summer, when growth is active and the hedge heals quickly. Tree trimming and structural pruning are best done in dormancy, from late fall to late winter, because the tree is resting and the risk of disease is lower. We also avoid trimming during the growing season when possible, because fresh cuts attract pests. Plan your cedar work for May through August, and your tree pruning for November through March.
You are fully insured. What does that cover if something goes wrong?
We carry full liability insurance as a local, fully insured company. Our insurance protects you and your property if our work causes damage. We also document all work so that you can file a claim with your own insurer if needed. Before we start, we will show you our insurance certificate and answer any questions about coverage. This is one reason why hiring an insured, established company like Lakeridge Tree Trimming matters more than choosing the cheapest option.
Can you grind a stump so you can replant or build a deck?
Yes. Stump grinding starts from $145 and removes the stump below ground level so that you can replant, build, or use the space. Full stump removal, which takes out the roots, is quoted separately depending on root depth and soil conditions. Uxbridge soil can be clay-heavy and compacted, especially near older properties, so we assess each job on site. Call (289) 367-8616 for a free estimate on stump grinding or removal.
