Parks - Tree Pruning & Inspections
The City of Brampton’s Forestry team undertakes maintenance of trees, including pruning and removal, on trees located within City-owned property such as parks and boulevards in-front of homes. Members of the public are not permitted to conduct any work, including pruning, on City owned trees.
You do not require permission to prune your own, privately-owned tree. Please use the Tree Preservation By-Law (linked below in the “Related Information” section) as a guideline when pruning your private tree.
