Tree & land services · York & Durham Regions, Ontario

Land & tree work done right — and done once.

Tactical Tree and Land performs landscape earthworks, tree removal, tree trimming and tree cabling across York Region and Durham Region — Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, King, Whitchurch-Stouffville, Richmond Hill, Markham, Vaughan, Uxbridge, Scugog, Brock, Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington, Ajax and Pickering.

We are a young local family who operates Sonyas Acres, a small regenerative farm in East Gwillimbury. You may know us from our annual sales of Special Dark Organic Maple Syrup and honey, our fine local Garlic, or our sessions on connecting with horses.

We run a Kubota L3902 compact tractor with bucket, backhoe, rototiller, box blade and posthole digger. We use professional-grade equipment, including chainsaws and woodchippers. We also rent out our log splitter, woodchipper and dump trailer so you can process your own firewood.

What we do

Landscape earthworks

Grading, drainage, driveway repair, trenching, post holes and garden tilling with a compact tractor sized for residential properties — big enough to do the work, small enough to fit through the gate.

Tree removal, trimming & cabling

Safe removal of hazardous trees, pruning that keeps trees healthy, and structural cabling that preserves mature trees instead of condemning them.

Firewood equipment rentals

Rent our hydraulic log splitter, woodchipper or dump trailer for your own firewood processing and property cleanup. Delivered, demonstrated, picked up.

On-site mulch & firewood

Where appropriate we chip and split right on your property, turning nuisance and hazardous trees into useful mulch and firewood — and cutting your removal fees. Prefer a spotless yard? Complete removal of all material is always available.

Our equipment

One machine, many attachments: the Kubota L3902 switches between loader bucket, backhoe, rototiller, box blade and posthole digger, so a single visit can grade your driveway, dig your fence post holes and till your garden. Alongside it we run professional chainsaws, a woodchipper, a hydraulic log splitter and a dump trailer.
