Tree removal in Oshawa

We are based in Oshawa, on Wilson Road North, so most Oshawa jobs are a few minutes from home. We do removals, pruning, storm cleanup and stump grinding here, and we rake up before we leave.

Before you remove a tree in Oshawa

Oshawa's Tree By-law protects trees on City property. City trees are usually within 2 m of the curb or 1.5 m of the sidewalk, and your home survey shows which side of the line a tree is on.

Residents are not allowed to prune or otherwise alter a City tree. Ask Service Oshawa instead.

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: City of Oshawa, Trees and Region of Durham, Woodland By-law. Read 13 November 2026. Rules change, so check with the municipality before you cut.

What customers say

  • We had a termite infected Willow Tree that could be potentially dangerous so the City of Oshawa asked us to cut it down. Rob was quick to the rescue and everything happened on time and efficiently.

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