Hazardous Tree Removal in Prince George

Experienced Hazardous Tree Removal for Your Peace of Mind

A hazardous tree is one that has stopped being part of the yard and started being a risk to whatever sits underneath it. Dead. Rotten through the base. Leaning toward the house. Cypress Tree Service takes those trees down across Prince George, including trees standing close to houses, septic systems and power lines.

The difference between a hazardous tree and an ordinary one is that a hazardous tree cannot simply be felled and hoped for. Where there is no room to drop it, it comes down in sections instead. One customer had trees taken out from between their house and a fence without a branch touching either.

Comprehensive Hazardous Tree Removal Solutions for All Your Needs

  • Dead Tree Removal

    A dead tree does not stay standing indefinitely. It loses strength from the inside out, and the limbs usually start coming off before the trunk does. Taking it down while it is still predictable is a great deal easier than clearing it after it has come down on its own.

    We remove dead trees across Prince George, single trees and whole stands of them. One customer had 12 to 15 rotten dead trees cleared, with the property tidied up afterwards.

  • Leaning Trees

    A tree that has always leaned is not automatically dangerous. A tree that has started leaning is a different matter. The direction of the lean decides what it lands on, and that is rarely the empty part of the yard.

    We have taken down trees leaning toward the house and trees leaning over a fence. The homeowner whose tree leaned toward the house describes it coming down very safely. If a tree has shifted after a windstorm, get it looked at.

  • Trees Close to Houses, Septic and Power Lines

    The trees that need the most care are the ones with no room to fall. A tree beside the house, over the septic field, or near a power line has to come down in controlled sections rather than in one piece.

    One Prince George customer had several large trees removed close to their house, septic system and power lines, and describes conscientious work with every safety precaution taken.

  • Decayed and Rotten Trees

    Decay is the hard one to judge from the ground. A tree can carry a full green canopy while the base is going soft, and the first unmistakable sign is often the one that arrives too late.

    We remove decayed and rotten trees in Prince George, including trees standing close to the house. If you are unsure what you are looking at, a certified arborist can tell you.

Hazardous Tree Removal FAQs

Got questions? Check out our FAQs for straightforward answers on hazardous tree removal. If you still have questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

What makes a tree hazardous?

Usually one of a few things: the tree is dead, it is rotten or decayed at the base, or it has started leaning toward something it could damage. Trees standing close to a house, a septic system or a power line also take more care to remove safely. If you are not sure, a certified arborist can look at it and tell you.

Do you remove trees that are close to my house?

Yes. When there is no room to fell a tree in one piece it comes down in sections instead. One Prince George customer had trees taken out from between their house and a fence without a branch touching either.

Is Cypress Tree Service insured?

Yes, we are fully insured, and Jon Bitner is a certified arborist. Insurance matters more on hazardous work than on any other kind, because hazardous work is where things go wrong.

What does hazardous tree removal cost?

It depends on the tree: its size, its condition, and what sits underneath it. Quotes are free, and we come out and look at the tree rather than guessing at it.

How soon can you deal with a dangerous tree?

Call and ask, because it depends on the day. We answer the phone 24/7 for tree emergencies, and a tree that is an immediate danger is treated as one.

Do you clean up afterwards?

Yes. Branches and debris are cleared and the yard is left clean. It comes up again and again in our reviews.

What if the tree has already come down?

Then it is an emergency rather than a hazard. Call (250) 981-6473. We answer 24/7, including nights and weekends. See our emergency tree removal page for what to expect.

What areas do you serve?

Prince George and 17 surrounding communities: Salmon Valley, Summit Lake, Bear Lake, Mackenzie, Penny, McBride, Valemount, Red Rock, Hixon, Quesnel, Miworth, Beaverley, Mud River, Vanderhoof, Fort St. James, Isle Pierre and Pineview.
