When to Call for Tree Health Assessments in Port Coquitlam

If a tree near your PoCo property or the dike trail looks off, a checkup is a fast, low-cost way to find out if it's actually a concern.

Permits & Bylaws in Port Coquitlam

Mature cottonwoods are common on PoCo's riverside lots, and their brittle wood can make them look more alarming than they are — or hide real issues under healthy-looking foliage. A quick visual check gives you a straight answer either way.

Protected trees are 15cm+ diameter or 5m+ tall. Permits cost $100, waived for dead or hazardous trees. Fines up to $4,000 for significant trees (45cm+).
