Tree Removal Markham Ontario

Tree removal Markham requires permits for most mature trees following York Region tree protection bylaws administered through Markham municipality. Generally trees over 20cm diameter (measured 1.4 meters above ground) on private property require permits before removal. Markham's permit process differs from Toronto creating York Region-specific requirements and timelines. Our tree removal Markham team determines if your tree needs permits, prepares complete applications with required documentation, submits to Markham bylaw department, and coordinates approvals typically processing within 4-6 weeks. Exemptions exist for hazardous trees (diseased, damaged, or dangerous specimens), dead trees without viable growth, and specific situations documented through arborist reports. Working without required permits risks stop-work orders, fines, and required tree replacement or cash-in-lieu payments. We handle complete York Region permit coordination protecting you from violations while ensuring legal tree removal Markham throughout this jurisdictionally distinct community operating under different rules than Toronto creating confusion for residents unfamiliar with York Region requirements.

Developers commonly plant fast-growing species (silver maples, poplars, willows) creating quick canopy for sales appeal but these trees reach failure points within 15-20 years. Common problems include trees planted too deep burying root flares and killing root systems, inappropriate species selections (shallow-rooted trees near foundations, weak-wooded species in wind-exposed locations), insufficient soil volume under driveways and patios restricting root growth, poor quality nursery stock from lowest-bid suppliers, and lack of proper establishment care after installation.
