Before you remove a tree in Courtice

Durham Region's Woodland By-law covers woodlands of one hectare (2.5 acres) or more. If you plan to cut trees in a woodland that size, you may need a permit from the Region. Removing dead or hazardous trees is one of the listed exemptions. Wooded areas under one hectare are left to the local municipality.

For a single tree on a house lot, ask the Municipality of Clarington before you cut.

What customers say

  • We have a lot of hydro lines around our property so it wasn't an easy task to remove a big old maple tree! Rob and his team showed up and had the tree down and cleaned up with 3 hours.

  • The work was done professionally, with careful attention to nearby power lines and our fence. He also did a great job cleaning up the yard afterward.
