Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property?

Depending on your location (Gibsons, Sechelt, or rural areas), you may need a permit to remove certain trees. We can help you navigate local bylaws and determine what’s required.

What is a Certified Arborist Report, and when would I need one?

A Certified Arborist Report assesses the health, safety, and structural integrity of your tree(s). These reports are often required for development permits, insurance claims, or risk management.

What does TRAQ certification mean?

TRAQ stands for Tree Risk Assessment Qualification. It means our arborist is specially trained to identify and assess tree risks to help prevent accidents or property damage.

Most trees are best pruned during dormancy in late fall or winter, but it depends on the species. We can advise on timing to ensure tree health and avoid pest issues.

Do you offer emergency tree removal or storm cleanup?

Yes. We provide prompt emergency response for fallen or hazardous trees, especially during winter windstorms and heavy rain events common to the coast.
