From Lynn Valley to Deep Cove, North Vancouver lots are packed with large trees, and nine times out of ten there's a house, power line, or fence close by.

District of North Vancouver

City of North Vancouver

District of North Vancouver

In the District, you need a permit to remove or prune any tree 75 cm or more in diameter, measured 1.3 m up the trunk. Smaller trees can still be protected, and need a permit at any size, if they sit near a creek or ravine, on a slope steeper than 36%, or belong to a protected species like Arbutus or Garry oak.

The District requires a report from an ISA-certified arborist for most of this work. Ironclad Tree Care has ISA Certified Arborist and ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified arborists on staff, so we prepare the report, file the application, and coordinate with the District for you.

Deep Cove

A waterfront village where the forest meets Indian Arm, and towering firs and cedars crowd steep, rocky lots. Few things beat an ocean view framed by the trees you kept.

Edgemont Village

One of North Vancouver's most established neighbourhoods, all wooded streets and mature trees close to well-kept homes. Nothing keeps an established property looking its best like healthy trees.

Upper Lonsdale

A hillside neighbourhood climbing the slope, where homes and townhomes sit close together with views to the water. On tight lots like these, one overgrown tree can crowd the whole property.
