ontario-ice-storm-emergency-tree-removal

On March 29, 2025, Ontario was hit by a severe ice storm that left many communities grappling with the aftermath. From power outages to fallen trees, the impact of this weather event has been significant, especially in areas like Orillia and Barrie. At Woodland Tree Service, we understand the challenges residents face during such emergencies and are committed to helping you restore safety and beauty to your property.

The Impact of the Ontario Ice Storm

 

The recent Ontario ice storm brought with it a thick layer of freezing rain that coated trees, power lines, and roofs. The weight of the ice caused many tree branches to snap under pressure, leading to hazardous conditions. As a result, countless homes experienced power outages, with utility companies working tirelessly to restore electricity to affected areas.

The ice storm not only created immediate dangers such as fallen branches but also posed long-term risks to tree health. In some cases, trees may become weakened or unstable, increasing the likelihood of future issues.

Comprehensive Tree Care Services

In addition to emergency tree removal, Woodland Tree Service offers a wide range of services designed to help you manage and maintain your trees effectively after an ice storm:

1. Tree Branch Removal

After an ice storm, it’s common for trees to have broken branches that hang precariously or even fall onto your property. Our team specializes in tree branch removal, ensuring that any hazardous branches are safely cut down and disposed of. This service not only helps prevent further damage but also allows healthy tree growth to continue.

2. Tree Assessment

Not all visible damage is easy to identify. Our arborists conduct thorough assessments of your trees to determine their health and stability after the storm. We will evaluate whether a tree can be saved, or if it poses a risk that requires complete removal.

3. Emergency Tree Removal

In cases where a tree poses an immediate threat—whether by leaning precariously or having sustained significant damage—our emergency tree removal service is vital. We have the equipment and expertise to safely remove trees from your property without causing additional harm.

4. Stump Grinding

Once a tree has been removed, you may be left with an unsightly stump. Our stump grinding service ensures that all remnants of the tree are eliminated, allowing you to reclaim your space for landscaping or other uses.

5. Preventative Measures
