Arborist on rope and spurs with chainsaw, taking a poplar down in sections next to a house, Port Moody — Sectional removal on rope, working inches from the house. Port Moody.

Working in Surrey

Surrey's tree bylaw is one of the more involved in the region. A permit is needed for trees 30 cm in diameter and larger, and protected species such as arbutus, Garry oak, redwood and ginkgo need one at any size. The City may require two replacement trees for each one removed, and federal migratory bird rules can require a nesting check before removals in spring and summer. We check every tree against the bylaw, prepare the permit application and replacement plan, and schedule around nesting season.

Big conifers next to houses are common in Fraser Heights, Guildford and Fleetwood. Our climbers take them down in sections on rope, lowering pieces so nothing hits the roof, fence or garden, and we grind the stumps so the space can be reused.

Professional, friendly, on time. Clean up was stellar. They pruned away dead growth from my Maple Tree, removed a big ol' dead palm, did some transplanting, and a professional job of trimming a Magnolia Grandiflora. I will use them again in the future.

Generally 30 cm in diameter and up, and smaller for protected species such as arbutus, Garry oak, redwood and ginkgo. We confirm for your tree and handle the application.
