Tree Removal in Brock Township

Brock is farm country on the Lake Simcoe shore, where the trees that cause trouble are usually hedgerow maples, farm-lane windbreaks and shoreline poplars. Tell us what's happening and we'll help connect you with a local tree professional.

Farm properties and hedgerow trees

The classic Brock job is an old hedgerow maple or elm at the edge of a field: enormous, hollow at the base, and now standing over a laneway, a fence line or a hydro run. These trees have grown in the open all their lives, so they carry huge horizontal limbs — the failure mode is usually a limb dropping, not the trunk going over.

Access is rarely the problem here; there is normally room for a bucket truck and somewhere on site to leave chips and rounds. That tends to make rural Brock removals more straightforward than an equivalent tree in a fenced Ajax backyard.

Lake Simcoe wind at Beaverton

Beaverton and the Gamebridge shoreline take open-water wind off Lake Simcoe. Shoreline poplars and willows there are fast-growing, soft-wooded and prone to shedding large limbs in a blow — the kind of tree worth having looked at before the season rather than after.
