Cedar and Scots Pine Tree Removal in West Vancouver
Why Professional Tree Removal Matters in West Vancouver
The towering Scots pines had stood sentinel in this West Vancouver backyard for decades, their orange-tinged bark peeling like parchment. Nearby, five cedars marked with pink flagging tape formed a dense green wall along the property line. Their removal wasn’t just about cutting trees—it was about reshaping a landscape with surgical precision.
The Challenge
This project required:
Safe dismantling of two 60-foot Scots pines without damaging the garden
Boundary-awareness while removing the cedars along the south property line
Impeccable cleanup meeting West Vancouver’s strict debris bylaws
Why These Trees Needed to Go
The Scots Pines
- Overhanging the home’s roof (storm risk)
- Dense needle drop acidifying the soil
- Blocking sunlight to the entire backyard
The Cedars
- Crowding out native plants
- Roots invading the irrigation system
- Creating perpetual dampness against the house
