Tree removal, trimming and stump grinding costs in the Richmond area depend on several factors that go beyond tree size alone. Our pricing reflects the complexity of each job, safety requirements, equipment needed and site conditions. We believe in transparent pricing and detailed estimates so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Price list indicative
These prices are a guide. Every job is different: size, access and complexity all count. Ask for a free estimate to get a precise price for your own situation.
| Service | Indicative price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Full Tree Removal | Free estimate | Our ISA-certified crews handle complete tree removal across Vancouver's west side, from small ornamentals to mature conifers close to fences, driveways and homes. Every job includes a safety assessment, controlled rigging, and full debris haul-away when it's done. |
| Tree Trimming & Crown Reduction | From $260 | Regular trimming keeps mature maples, cedars and street-front trees shaped safely around rooflines, sightlines and property lines, with clean cuts that protect the tree's long-term structure rather than just its looks. |
| Structural & Seasonal Pruning | From $230 | Structural pruning corrects weak forks, crossing limbs and overextended branches before they become a real risk, timed to each species so the tree heals quickly instead of pushing out weak regrowth. |
| 24/7 Emergency Tree Removal | Free estimate | Storm-damaged, split or leaning trees don't wait for business hours. Our crews respond around the clock to secure the site, remove the hazard safely, and get walkways, driveways and roofs clear again. |
| Stump Grinding | From $110 | We grind stumps below grade so the area is ready for sod, planting or paving, with minimal disruption to nearby lawns, fences and irrigation lines. Wood chips can be left on site or hauled away. |
| Full Stump Removal | Free estimate | For stumps that need to come out roots and all - ahead of a new driveway, foundation work or a garden rebuild - we excavate and remove the full root ball rather than just grinding it down. |
| Hedge & Cedar Hedge Trimming | From $60 | From formal boxwood hedges to the tall cedar hedges common on west-side property lines, we trim for a clean, even line and healthy new growth, without the bare patches a rushed job leaves behind. |
| Tree Cabling & Bracing | Free estimate | For large, valuable trees with a structural weakness - a co-dominant trunk or a heavy leaning limb - cabling and bracing adds support so the tree can be kept safely rather than removed outright. |
| Emerald Ash Borer Treatment | Free estimate | Emerald ash borer has been confirmed in the Vancouver area, and it can kill an untreated ash tree within a few seasons. We assess your ash trees and offer treatment options where a tree is still worth saving. |
| Ash Tree Removal | Free estimate | Where an ash tree is too far gone to treat, our crews remove it safely and can advise on a replacement species so your yard's canopy isn't left with a lasting gap. |
| Wood Chipping | From $100 | After a removal or major trim, we chip brush and branches on site so you're not left with a pile of debris, and can leave the chips for mulch or haul them away entirely. |
| Storm & Deadwood Branch Removal | From $85 | Coastal windstorms and heavy winter rain regularly bring down deadwood and broken limbs across Vancouver's older street trees. We remove hanging or damaged branches before they become a hazard to people or property below. |
| Trees Near Hydro Lines | Free estimate | Branches growing into the service line running from the street to your home are a common west-side issue on older, mature lots. We clear that private service entrance safely, while any work on BC Hydro's main network stays with the utility. |
| Fruit Tree Pruning | From $145 | Backyard apple, plum and cherry trees are a fixture on older west-side lots, and they need a different pruning approach than ornamentals. We shape for airflow, sunlight and fruit production, not just size control. |
| Tree Planting | From $200 | Whether you're replacing a removed tree or adding shade to a new yard, we recommend species suited to Vancouver's coastal climate and your lot's light, soil and root space, then plant and stake for a strong start. |
| Lot & Land Clearing | Free estimate | For a renovation, addition or landscape rebuild, we clear brush, small trees and overgrowth from the site, coordinating around retained trees, fences and neighbouring properties so the rest of the yard is left undisturbed. |
| Tree Disease Diagnosis | From $100 | Thinning canopy, discoloured leaves or bark damage can point to disease, pests, or root stress. We inspect the tree, identify the likely cause, and lay out realistic options before you spend on treatment or removal. |
| Arborist Report & Risk Assessment | From $125 | Many permit applications, real estate transactions and construction projects in Vancouver call for a documented arborist report. We assess tree health and risk and provide a report suited to what your project needs. |
What drives the price
- Tree size and species : Larger trees and hardwoods like oak or maple require more time, equipment and crew members. A 10-metre spruce costs less to remove than a 20-metre oak with multiple stems.
- Site accessibility : Trees in tight spaces, near buildings, fences or parked vehicles need careful rigging and smaller equipment. Easy backyard access reduces labour time and equipment costs.
- Debris removal and chipping : Whether logs are chipped on-site, hauled away or left for firewood affects the final price. Full site cleanup takes more time than leaving brush piles.
- Stump removal versus grinding : Stump grinding is faster and less invasive than full removal with root excavation. Grinding starts from $110, while complete removal requires a free estimate based on root depth and soil type.

Questions about our pricing
Why do tree removal prices vary so much between companies?
Legitimate variation comes from crew size, equipment quality, insurance coverage, arborist credentials and cleanup standards. Low quotes sometimes skip proper rigging, safety protocols or final site restoration. Our pricing reflects fully insured, trained crews and complete site cleanup.
What is included in your free estimate?
Our free estimate covers an on-site assessment of tree health, size, location and hazards. We discuss debris removal options, timeline and any permits the City of Richmond may require. Call (778) 652-1933 to schedule one.
Do you offer payment plans or discounts for multiple trees?
Yes, we can discuss pricing when multiple trees are removed in one visit. For payment options, contact us directly at (778) 652-1933 to review what works for your situation.
Why does an arborist report cost $125?
An arborist report documents tree health, risk factors and recommended actions. The City of Richmond often requires one before issuing a removal permit. Our ISA Certified Arborists assess structural integrity, disease and safety hazards, which supports both your permit application and our safe work plan.
Is emergency tree removal more expensive?
Storm damage and emergency removals are available 24/7. Pricing depends on the same factors as standard removal, but emergency calls outside business hours may carry additional fees. Contact us immediately at (778) 652-1933 for an emergency assessment.
