Tree removal in Ajax

Ajax is about 20 km west of our base in Oshawa, straight along the 401. We do removals, pruning, storm cleanup and stump grinding here, and we rake up before we leave.

Before you remove a tree in Ajax

Ajax's Tree Protection By-law (137-2006) prohibits damaging or destroying trees without a permit in parks, Greenbelt land and Environmental Protection land.

Durham Region's Woodland By-law covers woodlands of one hectare (2.5 acres) or more. If you plan to cut trees in a woodland that size, you may need a permit from the Region. Removing dead or hazardous trees is one of the listed exemptions. Wooded areas under one hectare are left to the local municipality.

Sources: Town of Ajax, Tree Management & Trimming and Region of Durham, Woodland By-law. Read 13 November 2026. Rules change, so check with the municipality before you cut.

What customers say

  • By the time they left, the yard was raked so clean you’d never know a giant tree was there hours before.

  • The work was done professionally, with careful attention to nearby power lines and our fence. He also did a great job cleaning up the yard afterward.
