Reliable, professional tree care for LaSalle homes and commercial properties. Century Tree Service is owner-operated by Devin Mills — fully insured, WSIB compliant, and dedicated to safe, honest work across LaSalle and all of Essex County.
Century Tree Service is a locally owned and operated tree care company providing professional services throughout LaSalle and the surrounding Essex County region. Devin Mills founded the company on a straightforward principle: do honest work, keep people and property safe, and treat every yard like it is your own. Devin is personally present for every estimate and on-site for every job, so there is never a question about who is responsible for the quality of the work.
We offer comprehensive tree services for LaSalle residential and commercial properties, including tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, storm damage cleanup, tree planting, and new growth training. LaSalle’s tree-lined streets, mature parklands, and expanding residential neighborhoods all require attentive, knowledgeable care from professionals who understand the local landscape.
We safely remove trees damaged by disease, storms, or hazardous location using controlled rigging, sectional dismantling, and crane-assisted techniques. Every removal includes full debris cleanup and complete site restoration, guaranteed.
We perform crown thinning, deadwood removal, clearance pruning, and canopy reduction tailored to each tree’s species and condition. Proper pruning reduces storm risk, improves light penetration, and keeps your property looking its best.
We grind stumps below ground level and backfill with clean wood chips, leaving the area ready for sod or landscaping. Grinding also eliminates harborage for carpenter ants and wood-boring insects that can spread to nearby trees.
Century Tree Service provides emergency response for fallen trees and storm debris across LaSalle and Essex County. We coordinate with Essex Power when downed lines are involved and provide documentation to support your insurance claim.
We handle species selection, site evaluation, proper planting, and aftercare tailored to your yard and LaSalle’s Zone 7b climate. Resilient native options like bur oak, hackberry, tulip tree, and Kentucky coffeetree are excellent choices for local properties.
Young trees need early structural pruning to develop strong branch architecture and avoid costly problems later. Investing in new growth training now sets your trees up for decades of healthy, low-maintenance growth.
Owner-Operated, Start to Finish. Devin Mills personally handles every estimate and is on-site for every job. You are not handed off to anonymous subcontractors — you work with one person who is accountable for the quality of the work from the first phone call through final cleanup.
Fully Insured and WSIB Compliant. We carry comprehensive commercial general liability insurance and full WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) coverage. This protects your property, your family, and our crew on every job site. We provide proof of insurance on request before work begins, and we encourage LaSalle homeowners to ask any tree service company for the same.
Honest, Transparent Pricing. The price we quote is the price you pay. No hidden charges, no surprise add-ons, no pressure to approve work you did not request. If we notice something additional that may need attention, we explain it clearly and leave the decision entirely with you.
Thorough Cleanup, Every Time. We do not leave until the site is clean. All branches, wood chips, and debris are removed. We rake the entire work area and leave your LaSalle property looking better than when we arrived. Our customers mention this consistently in their reviews — it matters to them, and it matters to us.
Serving LaSalle and All of Essex County. Based in Kingsville, Century Tree Service provides professional tree care across LaSalle, Windsor, Tecumseh, Amherstburg, Lakeshore, Essex, Leamington, Wheatley, and surrounding communities throughout the region.
irst detected in Windsor-Essex in 2002, the Emerald Ash Borer has devastated ash populations across LaSalle, with mortality rates approaching 99 percent within eight to ten years. Property owners are still dealing with standing dead ash, declining trees that may still be treatable, and old stumps from previous removals. A professional assessment can determine whether treatment or removal is the safest path forward on your property.
LaSalle sits within Ontario’s Carolinian forest zone — home to the highest diversity of native tree species in Canada — supporting everything from silver maples and honey locusts to black oak, hackberry, sassafras, and shagbark hickory. Each species has its own distinct care and pruning requirements, and knowing those differences is what separates experienced tree care from guesswork.
LaSalle’s location along the Detroit River corridor exposes it to ice storms, severe thunderstorms, and high wind events — as the damaging February 2023 ice storm made clear across neighborhoods throughout the community. Proactive trimming, regular hazard assessments, and timely removal of weakened trees are the most effective ways to reduce risk before the next severe weather event strikes your property.
Every project in our gallery represents real work completed by our team across LaSalle and Essex County. These are jobs done by our crew, on local properties, for real customers.
Tree removal in LaSalle typically ranges from $300 to $3,500 or more depending on the size, species, condition, and location of the tree. Small trees under 25 feet generally cost between $300 and $800. Medium trees in the 25 to 50 foot range usually run $800 to $1,500. Large trees exceeding 50 feet can cost $1,500 to $3,500 or higher, particularly when they are close to structures, power lines, or in areas with limited equipment access. Century Tree Service provides free, no-obligation estimates so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
The Town of LaSalle does not currently have a private property tree removal bylaw, which means you generally do not need a municipal permit to remove a tree on your own residential land. However, LaSalle does maintain a Trees on Municipal Property Maintenance Policy, and trees on town-owned land — including street trees and park trees — are managed and protected by the municipality. Damaging or removing a town-owned tree without authorization can result in penalties. Tree removal may also be subject to the federal Species at Risk Act if the tree provides habitat for a protected species, or the Migratory Birds Convention Act if it hosts active nesting birds. If you are uncertain about any of these protections, ask your arborist before proceeding.
For most hardwood species common in LaSalle — including silver maple, Norway maple, and honey locust — late winter through early spring is the optimal pruning window while the tree is still dormant. Dormant-season pruning minimizes stress, reduces disease transmission risk, and allows the tree to recover more effectively once growth resumes in spring. Deadwood removal and hazard reduction pruning can be performed safely at any time of year. Avoid heavy pruning during the active growing season from May through August when possible, as open wounds attract insects and the tree expends more energy healing during peak growth.

Hiring an uninsured operator puts your property and finances at serious risk if something goes wrong.

If a tree has fallen on your home, vehicle, fence, or is blocking access to your property, contact us immediately at 519-324-7118.

The Emerald Ash Borer has been present in the Essex County region since 2002, and the beetle has killed the vast majority of untreated ash trees in the area, including throughout LaSalle. If you have an ash tree on your property, it should be assessed by a qualified tree care professional. Depending on its current health, the tree may be treatable with insecticide injections if the infestation has not progressed too far. If the tree is already significantly declined or dead, removal is recommended before it becomes a safety hazard. Dead ash trees lose structural integrity quickly and can drop large limbs or topple without warning.
Homeowners and property managers trust us for reliable tree care, clear communication, and consistent results. We take pride in completing each job safely, efficiently, and with respect for every property we work on.
