Rotational Tree Maintenance

Pruning Town-owned trees

The 2026 tree maintenance program is in cycle 7 and includes pruning Town-owned street trees in the following areas:

• Area 1: From 16 Mile Creek to Chartwell Road, south of the QEW
• Area 2: From Tremaine Road to Neyagawa Boulevard, between Dundas Street West and Burnhamthorpe Road West
• Area 3: From Trafalgar Road to Ninth Line, between Dundas Street East and Burnhamthorpe Road East

The trees in each area are inspected by certified arborists to identify any pruning that is required and work orders are generated for each individual tree prior to the contractor starting the work the following year.

Review the progress on the rotational tree maintenance interactive map.

Who is responsible

In some cases, Town trees are located on the municipal property bordering a homeowner’s yard which may include the house-side of the sidewalk. 

Town contractors will not prune residents’ private trees, they are the homeowner's responsibility. 

Residents will receive a letter in the mail to notify them of when their Town tree(s) will be pruned. Please remove lights, decorations and play equipment from the Town tree(s) in front of your home so that contractors are able to access and prune the tree(s) as necessary.
