When folks are searching for Port Moody Tree & Arborist Services, it’s not just about chopping down branches. Trees are a big part of what makes a home feel like home. Last summer near Rocky Point Park, we helped a homeowner in a tight spot. A windstorm had pushed their huge cedar tree sideways, and it was leaning toward their house. They were pretty stressed. We got there fast, checked things out, and trimmed it up in a way that kept it from causing damage while helping it grow stronger. No drama—and the yard actually looked better after. That’s what solid tree care can do.
Why You Should Care About Hiring Professional Port Moody Tree & Arborist Services
Trees usually mind their own business—until they cause problems. Maybe a limb snaps, or decay sets in, or roots get under your patio and lift it up. That’s when you want someone who’s not just cutting, but really knows what they’re doing. Port Moody weather can flip fast—one minute it’s pouring, next it’s snowing. You want advice from people who get what the local trees deal with. Certified arborists bring the tools and the know-how to shape, trim, or remove trees without causing extra trouble.

What To Expect With Timelines, Costs & Permits for Tree Services in Port Moody
The time it takes depends on what we’re doing. A quick trim might be done before lunch. Bigger projects like removing a tall tree or full clearing can run longer, especially if the weather slows us down.
Prices are mixed too. Light pruning could be around $250 to $600. But if a full-grown tree needs to come out, it can hit $700 or way more—depends on size, what equipment we need, and where it’s located. Best bet? Give us a call so we can give you a price that fits the work.
Permits pop up sometimes. Port Moody has tree rules—especially for older or protected trees. Make sure to check so you don’t run into fines or project delays. Here’s where to start: City of Port Moody’s Tree Cutting & Removal page. It has all the info you need for permits and bylaws.

Frequently Asked Questions About Port Moody Tree & Arborist Services
What is the best season for tree pruning in Port Moody?
Late winter or early spring usually works best—before new growth kicks off. But if you’re dealing with maples or fruit trees, summer’s still okay too.
How do I know if a tree needs removal?
Look for cracks in the trunk, fungus, trees leaning hard, or damage from wind. If you’re not sure, we can take a look and tell you what’s going on.
Are permits always required for tree removal?
Not every time. But for bigger trees or ones on the city’s protected list, you’ll need paperwork. The city guide makes it pretty easy to see what needs a permit.
How often should I have my trees professionally checked?
Once every few years is fine for younger ones. But if you’ve got older or really tall trees, a checkup every year can catch problems early.
Can tree roots damage my driveway or foundation?
Yep. Roots can crack concrete or shift things around if the tree’s too close. Root work or barriers early on can help prevent that mess later.
What happens if a tree falls during a storm?
Give us a call right away for emergency help. Trees can cause a lot of damage, and moving one on your own isn’t safe.
Do you offer advice on planting new trees?
Yes. We help folks pick tree types that do well in Port Moody’s climate and soil—and show you how to plant them the right way.
Is stump grinding necessary after tree removal?
We recommend it. Otherwise the old stump just sits there, gets in the way, attracts bugs, and takes forever to rot out. Grinding fixes all that.
