Tree removal in Chemainus
Ladysmith Tree Removal works in Chemainus, which falls under the Municipality of North Cowichan — a municipality that states in its own wording that no tree protection bylaw exists. Two Development Permit Areas are the exception, DPA-3 and DPA-4, and we confirm which one applies before we quote a price.
North Cowichan has no specific tree bylaw, but environmental rules still regulate cutting on your property.
A medium tree typically runs $800 to $2,000, with stump grinding quoted separately.
What "no tree protection bylaw" actually means
It means the municipality does not require a permit to remove a tree on private property outside its designated areas. DPA-3 and DPA-4 restrict cutting, while the BC Wildlife Act protects nesting birds. We evaluate doubtful trees with a formal danger tree assessment.
Older lots, older trees
Much of the town was built out early, and the trees went in with the houses. We frequently handle mature trees standing close to homes that were built when the trees were much smaller. That's the classic case for sectional tree removal instead of a straight fall.
