Need Expert Tree Removal?
Tree removal is sometimes necessary to maintain the safety, function, and long-term health of your property. In North Vancouver, where dense tree cover, slope instability, and fast-growing vegetation are common, timely tree care can prevent problems down the road. Whether you’re removing a hazardous tree or clearing space for a project, Ruby Tree Care is the local team you can trust. With years of experience across the North Shore, we know how to manage removals safely—even in difficult terrain.
Understanding when tree removal is necessary
North Vancouver’s lush environment and mountainous terrain make tree maintenance more than just a cosmetic concern—it’s often a matter of safety, functionality, and long-term property health. While trees are an important part of the local landscape, there are times when removal is the best or only solution.
Here are some of the most common reasons homeowners and property managers contact us:
-
Safety Risks
Trees that are leaning, splitting, or have compromised roots pose a threat to homes, driveways, and power lines—especially during the frequent windstorms or heavy rains in neighborhoods like Upper Lynn or Blueridge. -
Renovation or Landscaping Projects
Major changes to your yard or home often require removing trees to create space or improve usability—common in areas with narrow or sloped lots. -
Diseased or Dying Trees
Fungal infections, root rot, or pest infestations can weaken trees and increase the risk of falling. Removal prevents the spread of disease to other vegetation. -
Overcrowding & Structural Interference
Trees growing too close to structures, retaining walls, or utilities can cause foundational damage or block access to sunlight and air circulation. -
Storm Damage
After a North Shore windstorm, trees may be partially damaged or left unstable. These often need to be safely removed before they become hazardous.
At Ruby Tree Care, we help you assess the situation and make the right decision—protecting your home while respecting the natural environment.

North Van Tree Removal FAQ
Absolutely. We recommend native trees like Red Alder or Western Hemlock that thrive in North Vancouver’s soil and weather conditions. We can also help with replanting plans.
Protected trees are typically determined by size, species, or location. Both the District and City of North Vancouver have different protection rules, so it’s best to check before starting work.
Most removals on private property still require a permit, especially if the tree is mature or contributes to canopy coverage. Permitting depends on the tree’s size and health.
Trees growing too close to structures can cause root damage or safety hazards. We can assess risk and provide safe removal strategies, even in tight urban lots.
Depending on size and permit status, removal may take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks (including paperwork and arborist reports).
Yes, but hillside removals require special equipment and techniques. Our crews are experienced in handling complex terrain like what’s found in Upper Lonsdale and Braemar.
