  Parksville

  Sectional tree removal beside a home

  We took down a dangerous tree in pieces using climbing ropes, lowered the branches clear of the deck and roofline, and left the yard tidy.

• 

  Qualicum Beach

  Arbutus crown reduction

  We carefully pruned the crown of a protected arbutus near Qualicum Beach to bylaw standards, keeping the tree healthy while clearing the roofline and neighbouring branches.

• 

  Errington

  Rural lot clearing

  We cleared select trees on an Errington acreage, chipped the brush, and graded the pad to open a driveway and create FireSmart defensible space around the house.

• 

  Coombs

  Stump grinding after removal

  We did below-grade stump grinding on a Coombs lot after taking out a large tree, grinding 15 to 30 cm down so you can put in lawn, a patio, or a garden bed.

• How much does tree removal cost in Parksville?

  +

  Tree removal in Parksville costs $300 to $700 for a small tree, $700 to $1,800 for a medium tree, and $1,800 to $3,500 or more for a large coastal Douglas-fir or western red cedar. We look at tree height, lean, property access, and distance from your house or BC Hydro lines to figure the job price. You can add stump grinding if you want the root mass removed.

• Do you need a permit to remove a tree in Parksville?

  +

  It depends on the property. Within Qualicum Beach, the Tree Protection Bylaw (No. 725, 2023) requires a permit to remove a protected tree of 30 cm diameter or more. The City of Parksville requires a Tree Cutting Permit for trees over 50 cm in diameter under its Tree Management Bylaw. Rural lots in Errington and Coombs may fall under an Environmental Development Permit before you cut down any trees. We visit your property for a free assessment to check what local bylaws require for your address.

• Do you handle emergency and storm-damage tree work?

  +

  Yes. We respond to trees brought down or split by winter southeast windstorms off the Salish Sea — uprooted conifers, hanging limbs, and trees leaning on roofs across Parksville, Qualicum Beach, and the Regional District of Nanaimo. We charge 25 to 50 percent over standard rates for emergency and storm call-outs.

• Are you insured and certified?

  +

  We carry ISA Certified Arborist credentials, liability coverage, and WorkSafeBC registration. We leave work near BC Hydro lines to utility-qualified crews.

• How much does stump grinding cost?

  +

  Stump grinding in the Parksville area runs $150 to $500 depending on stump diameter, root spread, and access. We grind stumps 15 to 30 cm below the surface so you can lay lawn, build a patio, or plant a new garden.

• Can a leaning or dead tree be removed without a permit?

  +

  You can sometimes need less paperwork for hazardous or dead trees once a qualified Tree Risk Assessor confirms the danger. Qualicum Beach waives its permit fee for confirmed hazard trees, and most Regional District of Nanaimo rules exempt them from the permit entirely.

• What areas do you serve?

  +

  We serve Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Errington, and Coombs, plus French Creek, Nanoose Bay, Whiskey Creek, and Dashwood across the Regional District of Nanaimo.

• When is the best time to remove or prune a tree on the coast?

  +

  We recommend removing high-risk trees between late summer and early winter, before southeast windstorms loosen wet soil and knock down conifers. We prune Douglas-fir and western red cedar during the dormant season. For protected species like arbutus and Garry oak, we time our cuts carefully to protect them from disease.
