Arborist & Tree Removal in Lonsdale, North Vancouver

Anchored by the waterfront energy of The Shipyards and Lonsdale Quay Market, the Lonsdale corridor (Lower, Central, and Upper) mixes breezy seawall living with steep, view-lots up the hill. That combo means salt air, wind exposure, and compact urban yards—great for lifestyle, tough on unmaintained trees. Seasonal storms on the North Shore regularly topple limbs and disrupt power, so proactive tree care here isn’t a luxury; it’s smart property protection.

What We Solve in Lonsdale

From tight side yards off Lonsdale Ave to strata courtyards near the SeaBus and the Quay, we plan each job for safety, speed, and zero surprises. Our assessments focus on lean, decay, root issues in saturated soil, and “targets” like rooflines, driveways, and service lines. If structural pruning or a crown reduction will safely buy years, we’ll recommend it; when risk is non-negotiable, removal is the responsible call. Expect controlled rigging (no uncontrolled drops), tidy cleanup, and neighbour-friendly communication—especially important in Lower Lonsdale’s busier blocks.

Most Common Services in Lonsdale

• Danger Tree & Tight-Access Removal — Piece-by-piece rigging to protect facades, patios, and shared spaces; permit help when required.

• Precision Pruning & Hedges — Structural pruning, crown reductions, and hedge height resets to preserve views and prevent storm blowback.

• Tree Health Assessments — ISA-informed checks to catch disease/decay before it becomes a 2 a.m. emergency.

Local Proof & Peace of Mind

Lonsdale spans two jurisdictions: Lower/Central Lonsdale are in the City of North Vancouver, while parts of Upper Lonsdale cross into the District of North Vancouver. We help you navigate both, including when a tree removal permit is needed (for protected trees, typically ≥20 cm DBH in the City). A certified arborist is always on site, so the work gets done right the first time.

Lonsdale FAQ

Can you work in strata courtyards or shared spaces?
Strata authorization is required but yes. If a City tree (on public land) is involved, separate City permission and specifications (tree protection fencing, distances) may apply.

What hours are you allowed to do noisy work?
In the City of North Vancouver, “construction activity” (which includes powered equipment) is generally permitted 7:00 am–8:00 pm Mon–Fri and 9:00 am–5:00 pm Sat; Sundays/holidays are restricted. Power gardening/building maintenance equipment has its own limits. Exemptions are possible for special cases—we’ll advise.
