Gutter & yard work in North York, Ontario

Big lots mean big leaf loads: book gutter cleaning and yard cleanup together in late October. Toronto collects yard waste from mid-March to mid-December in kraft paper yard waste bags or rigid open-top containers; bundles up to 1.2 m long and 20 kg, branches up to 7.5 cm across. Grass clippings, sod and soil are not taken. Toronto’s Private Tree By-law needs a permit to injure or remove a tree 30 cm or more in diameter, measured 1.4 m above the ground; in ravine and natural feature areas any size needs one. Changes to the tree by-laws took effect on September 1, 2026, so check the City’s page before a tree comes down.

You see the price before you book. Some jobs are a flat price, some are priced by the measure — a bedroom, a window, a square foot — and some are by the hour; the page says which, and so does the app before you confirm. Prices on this site are the full price, Doyo’s service fee included — nothing is added at checkout. Your card is held when a pro is confirmed and charged only when the job is marked complete. If the work turns out bigger, the pro has to put the new figure to you in the chat and wait for your yes — under Ontario law they cannot charge more than 10% over the estimate without your agreement.
