Tree Removal in Stanley Park
Tree work across Stanley Park, from the streets off Ottawa Street North and River Road to the lots backing onto Stanley Park Conservation Area.
Stanley Park was built out through the fifties and sixties on the east side of the Conestoga Parkway, and it was planted the way subdivisions of that era were: a silver or Norway maple in every yard and a City tree on every boulevard. Those maples are now at or past their useful life, with 80-centimetre trunks, co-dominant leaders joined by included bark, cavities at old pruning wounds and limbs that run out horizontally over bungalow roofs and single-car garages. Most of what we do here is dismantling those trees in sections over houses, deadwooding and reducing the ones worth keeping, and grinding the stumps so the lawn can be repaired. The lots are standard city size, so Kitchener's private tree by-law, which only reaches properties over an acre, does not apply and the decision is the owner's. The boulevard maples are the City's and are reported to 519-741-2345 rather than cut. Access is the usual constraint: fenced back yards reached through a side gate, which means rigging rather than dropping, and a crane from the street for the biggest trees over the house.

Frequently asked questions
Do the Kitchener tree rules apply in Breslau?
No. Breslau is in the Township of Woolwich, so Kitchener's private and public tree by-laws stop at the city boundary and the township's own rules apply. The Region's Woodland Conservation By-law and the CFIA ash regulated area cover the whole region including Woolwich. We confirm what applies to the address before quoting.
Is there a travel charge for the townships?
No. Breslau and the properties around Kitchener are quoted on the same basis as the city. What moves a quote is the tree and the access, not the postal code.
Can you tell whether a tree is the City's or mine?
Often from the site visit, since boulevard trees sit in the road allowance between the sidewalk and the curb. Where there is no sidewalk or the tree is near the line, the City can confirm ownership, and we ask before anything is cut.
