Guelph Tree Removal Bylaw

The Guelph Tree Removal Bylaw is an important part of maintaining our urban canopy. Tree removal in Guelph must be conducted according to the tree removal bylaws set out by the City of Guelph. There are fines for not following these rules.

Capella Tree Service Adheres to the Bylaws

Preserving and promoting tree health are our number one priorities at Capella Tree Service Inc. The urban canopy in the City of Guelph is very important to us. We often work with city staff to ensure that our tree care company is adhering to the bylaws set out by the City.

City of Guelph Tree Protection Bylaws

Often times we are contacted by homeowners to assess a tree that is actually on City property. According to the City of Guelph bylaw, trees on City property are not to be removed or pruned without a permit. A bylaw also affects any trees on private property in Guelph that are 30 centimetres (cm) in diameter, and trees 10 cm in diameter on private properties larger than 0.2 hectares.

Erika Guimaräes"fantastic professionals"
Thanks for the great service. Fantastic professionals- responsible, experienced, knowledgeable to answer questions. Great liability insurance- peace of mind when you see they really care about their client's property integrity. True tree care: they always suggest what's best for the trees in question. Lastly, they think about the environment when making decisions, working with a great selection of eco-friendly, biodegradable products and equipment. Highly recommend.
Kate Longridge"great referrals"
We contacted a number of tree removal companies in our area, but chose Capella based on great referrals from friends and family in Guelph. We were hesitant to take our 2 large linden trees down, but due to their proximity to our house we knew it was the right decision. Phil & Bill made the experience painless- the service was fantastic, they worked quickly but safely, and even cut some stumps for us to use as decorative touches in our gardens. At our request they also left all the shredded chips from the limbs and branches for us to use as garden mulch, which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Capella for any tree service.
Bob McCrindle"worked hard and successfully"
I was very happy with the manner in which the three of you from Capella took down the massive sugar maple which was growing very close to our home. You worked hard and successfully at avoiding damage to the house. I also appreciated the fact the brush was stacked in a way that made further handling very easy. I would be glad to recommend your company for tree removal.
Brent Williamson"professional"
Recently, Capella Tree Services removed one of my trees. They did an outstanding job. Phil’s crew arrived on site at the pre-arranged time. The crew was professional and efficient. Watching them work, it was evident that safety was their top priority. The clean-up was beyond my expectations. Except for the stump (which I asked them to leave), you would not know a tree had been cut down. If ever I need another tree cut down, I will not hesitate to contact Capella Tree Service.

Thank you, Phil. Your crew did a great job.
