Permits & Bylaws in Coquitlam

Many Coquitlam emergencies involve large conifers on slopes, where the safe move is controlled rigging rather than pulling the tree. We stabilize the immediate hazard first, then confirm any Coquitlam permit or near-water requirements for the full removal that follows.

Permit required to remove more than 2 protected trees (30cm+) within 12 months, or any tree near a stream. Replacement and security bonds apply.
