Tree removal is the safe, controlled takedown of a tree, often using ropes, climbing, or a crane when it sits close to a house, fence, or power line. We remove hazardous, dead, and unwanted trees across Kelowna and the Okanagan, then clean up the wood and brush so your property is left tidy.

Some trees just need to come down. Maybe it's dead, leaning the wrong way, dropping limbs, or simply too big for the spot it's in. We remove trees of all sizes across Kelowna, from a single backyard tree to a row along a fence line, and we do it safely.

Most Okanagan lots are tight, with trees crowding homes, decks, and power lines. That's why we don't just fell trees and hope. We climb, rope, and lower limbs and sections in a controlled way so nothing lands where it shouldn't. When a tree is really big or boxed in, we'll bring in a crane.

What's included

  • On-site assessment. We look at the tree, the lean, the access, and what's around it before we touch a saw.
  • Controlled takedown. We climb and rope the tree down in sections, or fell it cleanly when there's safe room.
  • Over-structure rigging. Limbs and logs get lowered on ropes so they stay off your roof, fence, and garden.
  • Power line awareness. We work safely around lines and tell you when the utility needs to be involved.
  • Wood handling. We cut the wood to firewood length, leave it for you, or haul it away, your call.
  • Full cleanup. We chip the brush and rake up so your yard looks better than when we got there.

When you need tree removal

A dead or dying tree

Dead trees get brittle and unpredictable, and they only get more dangerous to remove over time.

A dangerous lean

If a tree has started leaning toward your house or driveway, it's worth a look before it moves more.

Too close to the house

Trees planted too near a home can damage foundations, roofs, and gutters as they grow.

Clearing for a project

Building, fencing, or opening up a view often means a tree or two has to go.

Questions & Answers

Tree Removal: Common Questions

How much does tree removal cost in Kelowna?

It depends on the tree: how tall it is, how close it sits to your house or power lines, how hard it is to access, and whether you want the stump ground and the wood hauled away. Every tree is different, so we don't post a one-size price that wouldn't be honest. The best way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate. We'll look at the tree, talk through your options, and give you a clear price with no pressure.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Kelowna?

Sometimes. The City of Kelowna and other Okanagan municipalities have bylaws that protect certain trees, trees on slopes, near watercourses, or in development areas. Rules differ between Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, and Vernon. We'll tell you when we think a permit is likely and point you to the right department, so you don't get caught out.

Can you remove a tree that's close to my house or power lines?

Yes, that's a lot of what we do in the Okanagan, where lots are tight and trees crowd homes. We use proper rigging and rope techniques to lower limbs and sections in a controlled way instead of just felling. For trees touching the actual power lines, the utility usually has to be involved, and we'll tell you when that's the case.

How long does it take to remove a tree?

A straightforward yard tree can be down and cleaned up in a few hours. A large tree over a house, a tight-access removal, or a job that needs a crane takes longer and more planning. We'll give you a realistic timeline when we quote it, after we've seen the tree.
