Tree Removal in Beechwood
Tree work through Beechwood on Waterloo's west side, from the streets off Erb Street West and Fischer-Hallman to the creek corridors and the lots around the neighbourhood pools.
Beechwood's seventies and eighties houses sit on some of the largest residential lots in the city, and fifty years of growth have given them the trees to match: big silver and Norway maples, red oaks, lindens, honey locust and the inevitable spruce rows. The yards have been busy since. Pools, cabanas, decks and additions have gone in under trees that have since doubled in size, so the clear lane that would have let a tree be felled whole in 1990 is now a pool and a fence, and much of our Beechwood work is dismantling over structures or craning sections from the street. Pruning does a lot here too: deadwooding the maples, reducing the long limbs over the pool and lifting crowns off additions keeps the shade trees that make these lots what they are. Oaks are left unpruned from April to November, following Ontario's oak wilt guidance. The creek corridors that wind through the neighbourhood put some lots inside the GRCA's regulated area, where grading and equipment on a bank need checking. There is no City permit for a private tree in Beechwood, and the proposed heritage tree by-law, if Council adopts it, is the thing to watch for the biggest old oaks here.

Frequently asked questions
Do the Waterloo rules apply in St. Jacobs?
St. Jacobs is in the Township of Woolwich, so the City of Waterloo's bylaws do not apply and the township's own requirements are confirmed for the address. The Region's Woodland Conservation By-law and the CFIA ash regulated area cover the whole region including Woolwich.
Is there a travel charge outside the city?
No. St. Jacobs and the properties around Waterloo are quoted on the same terms as the city. The tree and the access set the price, not the postal code.
My lot backs onto a park. Whose tree is it?
If the trunk is on the park side of the property line it is the City's, and it is reported to Parks Services rather than cut. If it straddles the line it is shared. On the site visit we can usually tell, and where it is not obvious we ask the City before anything is touched.
