About Sault Tree Removal
For over a decade, Sault Tree Removal has been the name homeowners and businesses across Sault Ste. Marie call when a tree needs to come down, a stump needs to disappear, or a storm leaves a mess in the yard.Our company started with a single truck and a simple goal: give Sault Ste. Marie a tree service that actually shows up, does the job right, and doesn't disappear when something goes wrong.
Mike grew up in the Sault, working summers clearing brush on his uncle's property near Goulais River before training as an Arborist.
He saw a gap in the local market, too many tree jobs left half-finished, too many "handyman" outfits without insurance, and homeowners left holding the risk. Sault Tree Removal was built to fix that.Built for Northern Ontario Weather
Anyone who has lived through a winter in Sault Ste. Marie knows our trees take a beating. Heavy lake-effect snow loads weigh down branches until they snap. Ice storms coat limbs until they become genuine hazards hanging over driveways, power lines, and roofs. Spring windstorms finish off what winter started. We don't just remove trees , we understand exactly how Northern Ontario's climate damages them, and we know which species in this region are most prone to failure, from aging elms downtown to wind-stressed pines along the waterfront.
That local knowledge means we can often spot a problem before it becomes an emergency; a leaning tree near a property line, a hollow trunk that looks fine from the street, root damage from a wet spring. It's the kind of insight you only get from years of climbing trees in this specific climate, not from a general contractor who took on tree work as a side job.
Fully Insured, Properly Equipped
Every job we take on is backed by full liability insurance and WSIB coverage for your protection as much as ours. Our crew operates a dedicated bucket truck for safe access to tall or awkwardly placed trees, a commercial stump grinder, and a wood chipper for fast, clean debris removal. Every assessment we make about a tree's health, risk level, and the safest removal method follows recognized industry standards and not guesswork.
Why Sault Ste. Marie Trusts Us
We're not a national franchise dispatching whoever's available that week. We live here. We know the neighbourhoods, the bylaws, and the difference between a tree the city will let you remove and one that needs a permit first. When you call us, you're talking to someone who has likely already worked on a property a few streets over from yours.
That local-first approach shapes everything we do:
Serving All of Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma District
From downtown properties to rural lots out toward Echo Bay and Desbarats, our crew covers the full Sault Ste. Marie area and the surrounding Algoma District. Whether it's a single dead tree in a backyard or a full lot-clearing job for new construction, we bring the same level of care and the same insured, certified standard to every job.
When you need a tree removed in Sault Ste. Marie, you're not just hiring a crew with a chainsaw , you're hiring a local team that's spent over ten years learning exactly what this climate does to trees, and exactly how to deal with it safely.
