If you own a home in the GTA and need to deal with a tree, this is where to start. These guides cover the questions that Toronto-area homeowners actually ask: which trees need permits and in which city, what it costs, what to do when something goes wrong, and how to handle seasonal tree care the right way. Every guide is written specifically for the GTA, with real bylaw details, real price ranges, and clear step-by-step answers instead of generic advice that doesn't match how things actually work in Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Brampton, Aurora and Newmarket.
Tree removal permits are the most misunderstood part of owning a home in the GTA. These guides explain what the rules actually say, which trees are covered, what happens if you skip the permit, and how to get through the process without delays.
Our ISA certified arborist can confirm which by-law covers your tree, measure the DBH, and prepare the application from start to finish. We serve all GTA municipalities.
New guides are published three times per week through June 2026. Coming up: how much tree removal, pruning, stump grinding and arborist reports cost in the GTA, how to tell if your tree is dead or dangerous, what to do in a storm emergency, and city-specific guides for Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Mississauga and more. Check back or call us directly if you have a question that isn't covered yet.
