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.


Not sure whether the tree is actually a problem? That call is worth making. Jon Bitner is a certified arborist, Cypress Tree Service is fully insured, and we answer 24/7 if the tree turns out to be urgent rather than merely worrying.

Our 5-star rating across 27 Google reviews is built on exactly this kind of work: trees leaning toward a house, trees leaning over a fence, and rotten trees that needed to come out. And we are here 24/7 when a tree cannot wait.

Offering hazardous tree removal throughout Prince George, Salmon Valley, Isle Pierre, and surrounding communities, our team is ready to handle any challenge.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Got back to my inquiry for a quote very quickly, and was then able to take my trees down just a few days later. Dealt with some nasty rotten birches very skillfully. Great attitude and very responsive to calls and messages.
This is the 2nd time we hired Jonathan, and we'll definitely hire him again next time we need a tree gone.

I was on the fence for years about cutting down some big beautiful trees that were just taking up too much room in our small yard.
John came over for a quote, was able to schedule me in fast, and he cut the trees down even faster. It was truly impressive. He even saved some birds nest for us to move :) Highly recommend him. I also recommend you don’t be a hero and book in the removal as well.

OMG!!!! Where do I start. Jon & his team is fantastic. You can give them 5 stars but they deserve 10+ stars from me. From start to finish the crew was on time, friendly, very knowledgeable.
I had ask them to relocate some of the wood to another location, no problem. They took down 12 - 15 of my rotten dead trees. Even though they were tired they still did a good cleaning up my property.

We had a tree fall in our backyard so we were worried the other tree would fall as well and wanted it cut down. It was a Sunday but they answered and came out to look at the situation and give us a quote.
The next day they came and cut down the other tree for us. They were very kind, efficient, knowledgeable and honest! Would definitely recommend them to anyone and we will use them in the future if needed!

Immediate response and came to do a quote within 24 hours of contact. The trees I needed removed were sandwiched in between my house and a fence but Jon had them down in no time and without

Got questions? Check out our FAQs for straightforward answers on hazardous tree removal. If you still have questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Branches and debris are cleared and the yard is left clean. It comes up again and again in our reviews.
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.
