From the historic, mature properties of Unionville to the expansive semi-rural edges of Cathedraltown and Box Grove Maintaining Markham’s diverse urban canopy requires specialized local expertise.
Our trees face constant environmental pressures. Established canopies are routinely threatened by the Emerald Ash Borer and Spongy Moth. Invasive understory plants like Manitoba Maple and European Buckthorn aggressively crowd out native species on residential lots, while the Asian Longhorned Beetle remains a strict historical watch-list priority for this region.
We provide a full suite of tree management solutions for both tight residential lots and sprawling estates.
Focusing on limited-access lots and mature property management.
We safely and systematically dismantle hazardous, dead, or unwanted trees, utilizing techniques specifically designed for yards with limited access. In Markham’s established neighbourhoods, this service is critical when mature hardwoods outgrow their safe boundaries or suffer from advanced decay, threatening nearby homes and fences.
Our strategic cuts improve canopy airflow, reinforce the tree’s structural integrity, and ensure safe clearance away from rooftops and utility lines. Routine trimming is highly recommended for Markham residents before the heavy winter ice and snow season, effectively preventing dangerous branch failure while stimulating robust spring growth.
We provide professional size reduction and shaping to reclaim and tidy up overgrown landscape borders. Markham’s residential properties often rely on dense boundary hedges for privacy, which can become sparse or unruly without regular care to maintain a crisp, formal appearance.
We install supportive hardware systems to prolong the life of older, structurally compromised trees. Many of Markham’s historic properties feature heritage shade trees that develop weak, splitting crotches over time, making this structural support vital for preservation during intense southern Ontario windstorms.
We offer site-specific species selection and planting. Whether you are replacing a removed tree to satisfy municipal compensation rules or simply enhancing your yard, selecting the right climate-adapted species is crucial for long-term survival in local soil conditions.
Clear and reclaim your yard with below-grade stump grinding and removal. Leftover stumps quickly become trip hazards or breeding grounds for invasive pests common to the York Region, so completely grinding them down allows you to seamlessly plant new grass or install fresh hardscaping.
We draft the official, certified documentation required to pass municipal hazard assessments and ensure bylaw compliance. Before altering regulated vegetation, Markham’s strict bylaws require these professional evaluations to keep your residential construction or landscaping projects moving forward without legal delays.
Our rapid-response crews are available around the clock to mitigate risks from structural failures or fallen limbs. Sudden, severe thunderstorms or heavy ice accumulation in Markham can bring down massive branches without warning, requiring immediate intervention to secure the site and protect your home.
Markham’s Tree Preservation By-law (2023-164) mandates a permit before injuring or destroying any private tree with a trunk diameter of 20 cm or greater.
Loyal Tree helps manage the entire regulatory process, from drafting official reports to submitting your municipal applications.
High winds and ice storms can strike at any moment, and waiting until morning isn’t always an option. If a tree suffers a sudden structural failure or a massive limb is actively threatening your roof, you need immediate help. Loyal Tree dispatches rapid-response emergency crews 24 hours a day to neutralize dangerous situations across every Markham neighbourhood.

Loyal Tree holds a 5/5 rating across HomeStars and Trustindex, with 90+ verified reviews.
You are legally required to obtain a permit under the Markham Tree Preservation By-law (2023-164) for any tree with a trunk diameter of 20 cm or more, measured at 1.37 m above the ground. Our team will accurately measure your tree to see if it meets this threshold and submit the application on your behalf.
The permit requirement applies regardless of the tree’s health or risk level. However, the City of Markham frequently expedites the application review for high-risk trees if you submit a formal Tree Risk Assessment Report prepared by a qualified professional. We provide this exact documentation to establish the hazard status quickly.
Yes. If your property contains more than 0.2 hectares (roughly half an acre) of wooded area, it may be subject to the York Region Forest Conservation By-law. This is a completely separate regulation from the local Markham permit, and we will evaluate your lot size to ensure you are fully compliant before starting any work.
Beyond total removal, the bylaw considers removing over 20% of a tree’s live tissue in a single year, or encroaching into its root zone, as an injury that necessitates a permit. Because of this, it is highly recommended to consult our arborists before undertaking any heavy pruning near a regulated tree.
While emergency tree services and hazard removals are performed year-round, proactive tree pruning is often best done during the dormant winter months or early spring. This reduces stress on the tree, minimizes the risk of pest infestation, and prepares your Markham landscape for vigorous, healthy growth in the warmer seasons.
Yes, we offer an end-to-end service solution. Our team conducts the onsite assessment, writes the required certified arborist report, navigates the City of Markham’s application process, and then safely executes the tree removal.
Toronto’s trusted, arborists committed to keeping your trees healthy, beautiful, and safe through expert care, maintenance and preservation services.
