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’ as a guideline when pruning your private tree.
Possible Reporting Scenarios:
- Sick/Dead/Unhealthy City Tree

Expected Service Levels:
- For Sick/Dead/Unhealthy Trees: Inspections are conducted approx. 90 days from initial request
- Tree Maintenance: can take up to 12 months after inspection
What happens after I report my concern or submit my request?
- A Tree Inspection will be conducted approximately 90 days from the initial request
- The Inspector will leave a ‘Tree Door Hanger’ on your door to let you know the inspection is complete
- The Necessary work will be scheduled for completion
