When to Call for 24/7 Emergency Tree Service in Coquitlam

A tree on a roof, a partially uprooted trunk, or limbs hung up over a yard or driveway are situations to call about immediately, not to wait on.

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.

A protected tree is 20cm or more in diameter measured 1.4m from the ground. Up to two protected trees may be removed per calendar year without a permit; beyond that a permit is required. A permit is always required, from the first tree, if the property has a riparian area or SPEA, a steep slope, a covenant on title, or is on Burian Drive or Latimer Avenue. Replacement planting may be a condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Call us immediately at 604-658-9429. Don't try to move the tree yourself. If any power line is involved, keep everyone well clear and treat it as live; we coordinate with BC Hydro before working near energised lines.

We respond from our Port Moody base, which is only minutes from most of Coquitlam — including the Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau slopes where winter storms hit hardest.

We stabilise the immediate hazard first — that always comes before paperwork. For the full removal that follows, we then confirm any Coquitlam permit or near-water requirements and prepare the arborist documentation the City needs.
