When to Call for 24/7 Emergency Tree Service in Port Moody

If a tree is on your house, blocking your driveway, leaning dangerously, or tangled in a power line, call us right away rather than using the contact form.

Permits & Bylaws in Port Moody

Port Moody's hillside lots and exposure to inlet winds make storm damage common. Emergency and confirmed-hazardous tree removals have the $75 permit fee waived, and we can provide the written hazard assessment the City accepts — but immediate safety comes first, and we handle the paperwork around the work.

Under the 2026 Tree Protection Bylaw (No. 3531), a permit is required for trees 30cm+ DBH on any property, and for trees 10cm+ DBH in an ESA/riparian zone, of a protected native species, or on a development site. Fee $75 + $370 deposit per tree; no fee for hazardous or dead trees (permit still required).

What Affects Emergency Service Cost in Port Moody

Every job is unique, so we provide free, detailed estimates rather than one-size-fits-all pricing. The main factors:

Severity and how the tree fell (on structures, lines, or open ground)
Time of day and access for crews and equipment
Whether BC Hydro must de-energize lines first
Rigging needed to remove weight safely from a structure
Cleanup, hauling, and follow-up removal of the remaining stem
