Periods of downtime while a hazard looms over your home isn’t just stressful—it’s an accident waiting to happen. Many crews show up late, work without proper safety measures, or leave the job half-done, putting themselves and your property at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Vancouver?
It depends on the municipality and the tree. We will check your address, confirm the rules, and prepare the arborist report and application for you. Please check out our blogs if you want details on the specifics!
What’s the difference between a certified arborist and a regular tree service?
ISA-Certified Arborists pass an exam, follow a Code of Ethics, and must keep up with continuing education. That means better diagnostics, correct pruning standards, and safer methods.
Will your crew protect my lawn, garden, and structures during the job?
Yes. We set tree protection zones (fencing around the critical root zone), use ground protection mats, keep catch basins covered, and manage stockpiles and wash-down so sediment doesn’t hit the storm system—best practice under local ESC guidelines.

What happens to the wood and debris after a removal?
Your call. Options include on-site chipping/mulch, haul-away to green-waste, cut and stack for firewood, and stump grinding. If material is diseased, we remove/dispose of it appropriately and advise on replanting.
Can you work in bad weather or during storm season?
90% of the time, yes. We adjust rigging methods and keep erosion & sediment controls in place (access pads, inlet protection, covered stockpiles) so the site stays compliant even in heavy rain.
Do you handle commercial land clearing and site prep?
Yes. We manage pre-clearing surveys, arborist reports, permit packages, and ESC. Large sites may need a sealed ESC plan and monitoring; both CNV and DNV require controls that keep sediment out of storm systems. We also schedule around wildlife/nesting windows.
