Fully insured, locally trusted tree care, trimming, and stump removal in Oshawa and surrounding areas. Available for 24/7 emergency response.
Ontario Tree Removal is dispatched across Oshawa every week — from established streets in Downtown Oshawa, Lakeview, and North Oshawa to newer subdivisions on the edges of town. Our certified arborists understand the Oshawa canopy, the local soils, and the access constraints of every neighbourhood we serve.
Southern Ontario weather is hard on trees. Heavy ice storms compromise the structural integrity of mature ash, silver maple, and white pine — often invisibly — while the Emerald Ash Borer continues to kill ash trees across Oshawa at scale. We inspect every tree on site for hazardous decay, root failure, and insect damage, then give you a clear, honest recommendation: prune, monitor, or remove.
Oshawa is one of Ontario Tree Removal's busiest service areas, with active residential, commercial, and multi-residential tree work across north Oshawa, the downtown core, and the lakefront. We specialise in dead tree removal of declining ash, structural pruning of mature silver maples, and stump grinding rounds for property managers.
Our Oshawa work also covers brush removal, lot clearing, and emergency 24-hour fallen tree response. Crews dispatch quickly and keep job sites tightly managed so residents and tenants experience minimal disruption.

Permits Handled For You
Tree removal rules vary wildly across Ontario municipalities. Diameter thresholds, protected species lists, replacement-planting requirements, and arborist-report standards are all different depending on which city you're in — and getting it wrong can mean fines of $500 to $100,000 per tree.
Oshawa specifics: Durham Region municipalities apply tree protection by-laws that typically engage at 10–20 cm DBH on properties over a certain lot size, with mandatory permits for woodland and boundary trees. Replacement planting and arborist reports are commonly required.
Navigating local municipal codes can be a headache. Our team simplifies the process by handling the entire arborist report and permit application process for you from start to finish — so you only sign one document and we handle the rest.
Why We're Different
Most Oshawa tree jobs aren't won at the chainsaw — they're won by having the right equipment for the access, the height, and the obstacles around the tree. Our owned fleet is built for it.
We tackle tight Oshawa suburban backyards with tracked spider lifts that fit through 36-inch garden gates and reach 70 feet up — no fence panels removed, no lawn torn up.
For large clearing projects, mature canopy removal, and commercial work across Oshawa, we deploy bucket trucks and crane assistance that bring big trees down in controlled sections.
GRCS lowering devices, friction brakes, and engineered slings let us bring sectional limbs down inches above the lawn, fence, pool, or roof — zero impact on what we're working around.
Oshawa Reviews
John from Oshawa had a massive dead ash tree hovering over his garage — Emerald Ash Borer kill, leaning hard toward the roof. Ontario Tree Removal crane-lifted it out in under two hours. Spotless cleanup. Could not recommend more.
Booked them for hedge trimming and structural pruning on three mature maples. Crew showed up on time, certified arborist walked us through every cut, and the price matched the written quote exactly. Best tree service we've used in Oshawa.
Storm dropped a willow across our back fence at 11pm. Ontario Tree Removal had a crew on site by 7am the next morning, cut, chipped, hauled, and gave us full insurance documentation. True 24/7 emergency service.
FAQ
Oshawa tree removal pricing depends on three main variables: tree height, trunk diameter, and proximity to structures (homes, fences, hydro lines, pools). Small ornamentals typically start around $400, while large mature trees requiring crane support can run $2,500–$3,500+. Every estimate from Ontario Tree Removal is free, on-site, and quoted as a fixed price — no hourly billing, no surprise charges.
Durham Region municipalities apply tree protection by-laws that typically engage at 10–20 cm DBH on properties over a certain lot size, with mandatory permits for woodland and boundary trees. Replacement planting and arborist reports are commonly required. If your tree falls within the protected category, we prepare the arborist report and submit the entire permit package to the municipality on your behalf — you only need to sign the application.
All brush is chipped on site and either hauled away or left as mulch for your beds — your choice. Larger trunk wood is taken back to our yard where it's processed for firewood, milled into lumber, or recycled into compost feedstock. Our wood recovery and chipping process keeps every Oshawa job 100% landfill-free.
