Tree cutting cost in Montréal, QC

There is no single price for tree cutting. This calculator models one routine tree removal using height, access and nearby structures. Its base assumptions are CAD $300–700 up to 6 m, $700–1,500 up to 12 m, $1,400–3,000 up to 20 m and $2,500–5,000 above 20 m. These are editorial scenario inputs, not surveyed city averages.

Restricted access and nearby structures can increase the model result. Stump grinding, hauling and your own quoted extras are separate. Permits, specialist equipment, tax and restoration are not included unless you explicitly account for them. A contractor must confirm the actual scope and price.

Power-line involvement, unstable trees and urgent danger require a qualified assessment. The calculator stops automatic pricing when you select a hazard. It is a budgeting aid, not a tree-risk assessment or instructions for cutting.

Montréal is recorded in the 2021 census as subdivision 2466023 (type V) in Quebec. Its representative point is 45.50756, -73.72307. This point identifies a statistical area; it is not a contractor address or your property location.

Use the nearby-area links below to compare planning information, not to infer contractor availability. Distances are straight-line distances between census representative points. Road routes, water crossings, area size and service boundaries can make actual travel very different.

No verified sample of completed tree-removal prices is available for this location in this release. The calculator uses the same published assumptions as the national model. Obtain written local quotes before committing to a budget.

The closest representative point in this directory is Mont-Royal, QC, approximately 5.6 km from the Montréal representative point. This relationship is calculated from census coordinates, not from a tree-service company’s operating area.

When requesting a quote for Montréal, specify Quebec and the actual property address, rather than sending only the place name. The stable geographic identifier used by this directory is 2021A00052466023. This helps distinguish places with similar names; it does not replace a street address for an estimator.

The 20 nearest representative points listed here are all within Quebec. That does not establish common permit rules or a shared contractor market. For every quote, confirm the authority responsible for the property and the provider’s actual service area.

For a property in Montréal, QC, start with one tree and the outcome you need: assessment, pruning or complete removal. State whether the trunk is entirely on your property, on a boundary or on public land. The appropriate scope is determined at the site, not by the census entry.

Give the contractor your measured or approximate height, safe photos, access description and desired cleanup. Ask explicitly whether travel to the property in Montréal is included. If the provider is based in a nearby area, ask for the actual travel charge rather than converting this page’s straight-line distance into a price.

Use the calculator to copy a location-labelled job brief, then use the comparison tool for actual provider totals. Keep report preparation, permissions, grinding and hauling visible as separate items. Confirm the current local instructions before approving the work.

Montréal tells owners to check the standards for their borough before felling a private tree. A permit and replacement planting may be required. Do not interpret one borough’s fee or procedure as a rule for the entire island.

The City also distinguishes ordinary pruning from work affecting more than half the crown, for which its guidance points to a felling permit. Ask the arborist to describe the intended work rather than requesting an ambiguous “cutting” price.

Ash trees have separate treatment and felling guidance, with conditional assistance programs. Verify current eligibility before subtracting any subsidy from a budget. Ask for removal, replacement and paperwork as separate quoted items; this calculator does not assume a subsidy.

This is an English-language planning tool for Quebec. Municipal permit documents may be in French. Use the current official text, ask for clarification when needed and request a written scope you understand before signing.

Ask each contractor whether taxes, removal permission, reports, hauling and replacement planting are included. The calculator reports CAD before tax and does not assign a Quebec-wide permit fee or an unverified local price.

Ask for removal, wood handling, hauling, stump work and cleanup as separate line items. Describe access and nearby structures. Ask who handles permission and whether the written total includes tax.

Verify the provider’s identity, credentials, insurance and applicable worker coverage. Ask how changes to the scope will be approved and how your property will be protected. A calculator cannot perform those checks for you.
