A dead branch isn't coming back - it's just a matter of whether it comes down on its own in a storm or gets taken down on purpose. We'd rather it be the second one.
Try bending a thin section: give and green means it's alive, a dry snap means it isn't. A bare patch that never buds while the rest of the tree leafs out normally is another good clue.
Typically, yes, especially without regular upkeep - every year without a trim is another year branches can fail quietly and go unnoticed.
Live branches flex with the wind. Dead ones tend to just let go, often with zero warning. Above a driveway, a walkway, or wherever people actually spend time, that's not a risk worth carrying.
Describe the branch's location to (647) 370-2593 and what's underneath it, and we'll come back with a number fast. Something else on your list? It's all covered on the home page.
Reach out anyway - odds are good it's something we already handle.
Cutting out dead wood, clearing branches away from a roofline or fence, and shaping the canopy so the tree keeps growing soundly - that's the short version of what a trim covers. The long version depends entirely on the tree.

Storms don't check the calendar before they hit, so our schedule bends around them - a storm call jumps ahead of whatever else was already booked that day.

By the time removal comes up, we've usually already ruled out pruning, cabling, and simply keeping an eye on things. If none of those hold up, taking the tree down cleanly is the safer path forward.

There's a difference between a tree that's just too crowded inside and one that's grown too large overall - the first is a thinning job, the second is a reduction, and mixing them up leads to the wrong cut.
View Crown Thinning and Canopy Reduction
Instead of removing an entire tree over one weak point, cabling reinforces just that spot - hardware set high enough in the crown to keep a vulnerable limb or fork from moving too far in a storm.
View Tree Cabling and Bracing
Taking a tree down doesn't automatically take the stump with it. Grinding finishes the job, cutting everything down well below the surface so you can put the space to whatever use you'd like.

A ballpark on size, a guess at age if you have one, and the reason for the call - that covers it. Prefer to talk it through first? Call (647) 370-2593.
