Parks - Tree Removal or Damage
The City of Brampton's Urban Forestry team is responsible for the planting, maintaining, and removing trees on public property. This includes trees in Brampton's parks, open spaces, and boulevards/street trees. Members of the public are not permitted to injure or remove a tree on public property.
The City only removes trees when they are dead, diseased, damaged beyond repair, interfering with City infrastructure, or if they are a problematic species.
Once a tree is removed, the location is added to a tree planting list for the next calendar year.
Possible Reporting Scenarios:
- Requests for Tree Removal/Inspection
- Unauthorized Tree Damage/Removal
Expected Service Levels:
- Unauthorized Tree Damage: 3 business days
- Requests for Tree Removal: Inspections are conducted approx. 90 days from initial request
- Tree maintenance may take up to 12 months after inspection to complete
What happens after I report my concern or submit my request?
- A Tree Inspection will be conducted, and the Inspector will leave a "Tree Door Hanger" on your door to let you know the inspection is complete
- The necessary work or investigation will be scheduled for completion
If you require further assistance, please contact 311 within Brampton or 905-874-2000.
