Vancouver's lush urban forest is one of the city's greatest assets — but it also means that nearly every homeowner will eventually need professional tree removal services. Whether it's a dying birch in your East Van backyard, an aging Douglas fir looming over a Kitsilano heritage home, or a storm-damaged maple on a West Side property, proper tree removal in Vancouver requires expertise, the right equipment, and a thorough understanding of local bylaws.
Attempting DIY tree removal is one of the most dangerous things a homeowner can do. Trees that appear straightforward can behave unpredictably during removal, especially when they're diseased, hollow, or growing near power lines. Professional arborists in Vancouver use rigging systems, specialized saws, and years of experience to remove trees without damaging your home, your garden, or the surrounding urban landscape.
The City of Vancouver's Tree Protection Bylaw (By-law No. 9958) protects trees on private property that measure 20 centimetres or more in diameter at breast height (DBH). Before removing any protected tree in Vancouver, you must apply for a tree removal permit through the City's Development, Buildings & Licensing department.
Exceptions exist for hazardous trees that pose an immediate risk to life or property, but even these require documentation from a certified arborist. Unauthorized removal of a protected tree in Vancouver can result in significant fines and may require you to plant replacement trees at your own expense. Our team handles the entire permit process for you, ensuring full compliance with Vancouver's tree regulations from the outset.
The cost of tree removal in Vancouver depends on several factors, including the tree's height, diameter, species, proximity to structures, access to the site, and whether stump removal is required. In general, tree removal in Metro Vancouver ranges from several hundred dollars for small trees to several thousand for large, complex removals near structures.
Additional costs may include City of Vancouver permit fees (currently around $100–$150 per application), stump grinding, wood chipping, and hauling. We provide detailed, written quotes so you understand exactly what you're paying for — with no hidden fees. We also help you understand whether your home insurance may cover part of the cost in the case of hazard tree removal.
Our Vancouver arborists are experienced with all tree species common to the Lower Mainland, including Douglas fir, western red cedar, big-leaf maple, red alder, Garry oak, cherry, horse chestnut, Norway maple (an invasive species the City of Vancouver encourages removing), and ornamental trees of all varieties. Each species presents unique challenges during removal — we bring the right technique for every tree.
We believe tree removal should always be a last resort. Before recommending removal, our ISA Certified Arborists will assess whether the tree can be saved through pruning, cabling, bracing, or treatment. When removal is necessary, we advocate for replacement planting — both to maintain your property's canopy cover and to support the City of Vancouver's urban forest management goals. Vancouver's urban tree canopy provides critical ecological services, including stormwater management, carbon sequestration, and habitat for pollinators and birds.
We provide tree removal across Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Moody, New Westminster, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, and the Tri-Cities.
We operate in all Vancouver weather conditions — rain, wind, and even snow. Winter is often the best time for tree removal as frozen ground reduces soil compaction from our equipment.
We handle all City of Vancouver, District of North Vancouver, City of North Vancouver, District of West Vancouver, and City of Burnaby tree removal permit applications on your behalf.
