Working in Kamloops

Saturated soil and winter windstorms uproot tall conifers, and moss and damp encourage decay in older trees. Ask for a hazard assessment of big trees near the house before the windy season, and schedule removals in drier months when the ground can carry equipment.

British Columbia's coastal mild-marine climate and concentration of port, film, and biotech operations along the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island shape what facility programs need to look like here.

Questions

Do you take tree removal and tree care jobs in Kamloops?

Yes. Requests from Kamloops, Vancouver, Victoria, Burnaby and the rest of British Columbia are handled the same way. Use the quote form on this page, or email [email protected] with the service, the address and the timing.

Is stump grinding included?

Not always. Some quotes include it, many list it separately. Grinding takes the stump below ground level so you can seed or plant over it, but it does not remove every root. Ask how deep it will be ground and whether the chips are left in the hole or hauled away and replaced with topsoil.

Can a tree near my house be pruned instead of removed?

Often, yes. Branches over the roof, dead wood and a crown that is too dense can be pruned back, and a weak fork can sometimes be supported with cables. Removal makes sense when the tree is dead or dying, leans badly toward something, or has serious decay in the trunk or roots.

When is the best time to prune trees?

For most deciduous trees, late winter while they are dormant: the structure is easy to see and the cuts close well in spring. Dead, broken or dangerous branches can be removed any time. Some species, such as oaks in areas with oak wilt, should not be pruned in spring and early summer.

A storm brought a tree down. What should I do first?

Stay away from it, especially if it is touching any wires, and contact your electric utility if lines are involved. Take photos for your insurer. Then send the details by email, noting that it is storm damage, whether the tree is on a structure, and whether a driveway or door is blocked.

Who handles trees near power lines?

Lines on the street poles are the electric utility's responsibility, and only qualified line-clearance teams can work near them. Branches near the service line to your house may need the utility to disconnect or cover it first. Mention any wires near the tree in your email so the right specialist reviews it.
