“We had three large oaks along our front that were dropping branches every time the wind picked up. Harbour City came out, assessed the whole situation, and got them shaped up beautifully. The canopy is balanced now and we feel much safer. They cleaned up every bit of debris the same day, which we really appreciated.”
Mature street tree trimming
“Our laurel hedge had become completely overgrown and was blocking the view from the patio. The crew showed up on time, worked methodically through the whole thing, and left it looking formal and neat. The hedge is now about 1.5 metres tall instead of the wild 2.5 metres it was before. Very happy with the result and the value.”
Hedge trimming and landscape work
“After Harbour City removed an old tree stump, we needed the area graded and new sod laid. The grading is spot on, water drains away from the house properly now, and the new lawn has taken beautifully. Quote response took a bit longer than expected, but the actual work was done right and the price was fair.”
Lawn installation with grading
“We have two tall western hemlocks that were starting to shade out the whole back garden. I was nervous about having them trimmed, but the arborist explained exactly what he would do and why. The pruning opened up the space without making them look bare. Really impressed by the professionalism and the knowledge.”
Tall conifer pruning and shaping
“The big maple in our yard was in rough shape after the winter storms. Harbour City sent out an arborist who documented everything for our insurance claim and then did careful pruning to restore the structure. The crew was friendly, explained their work as they went, and the cleanup was thorough. Relieved to have a healthy tree again.”
Large mature tree pruning
“We wanted to refresh the mature trees around our new home without removing them. The team thinned out the canopies, removed some lower branches to open up sight lines, and the whole property feels more open now. Professional crew, clean finish, and they took time to explain what they were doing. Would definitely call them again.”

| Service | From | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tree Removal | Free estimate | Full removals across the Victoria area, from tight Vic West lots to open acreage. Crews dismantle in sections where a house, hedge or neighbouring garden is in the drop zone, and haul everything away. |
| Tree Trimming | From $245 | Crown thinning and reduction on the big-leaf maples, Douglas-firs and ornamental trees of Victoria's older streets. Cuts are made at the branch collar so the tree closes the wound properly. |
| Tree Pruning | From $215 | Structural and maintenance pruning for young and mature trees: crossing limbs, weak forks, clearance from roofs, gutters and driveways. Work follows recognised arboricultural standards, never topping. |
| 24/7 Emergency Tree Removal | Free estimate | Rapid response to failed trees, split stems and limbs hanging over a roof or driveway after a winter windstorm. The area is made safe first, then the hazard is dismantled and access cleared. |
| Stump Grinding | From $110 | Stumps ground below grade so the area can be turfed, planted or paved. Chips are raked out or left on site as mulch, and the ground is levelled before the crew leaves. |
| Full Stump & Root Removal | Free estimate | Complete excavation of the stump and main root plate where a foundation, driveway, pool or new planting needs clear ground rather than a ground-down surface. |
| Hedge & Cedar Hedge Trimming | From $60 | Cedar, laurel and mixed hedges cut back to line, sides tapered so light reaches the base. Clippings are cleared the same day, including anything that lands on the neighbour's side. |
| Tree Cabling & Bracing | Free estimate | Dynamic cabling for mature trees with weak unions or a splitting stem, installed after the structure is inspected. Chosen when keeping the tree is the reasonable and safe option. |
| Cedar & Conifer Dieback Treatment | Free estimate | Assessment and treatment of western redcedar and conifer decline: thinning crowns, browning tips and drought-stressed root areas. Includes irrigation, mulching and soil recommendations. |
| Garry Oak Care & Pruning | Free estimate | Careful work on Garry oaks, including deadwood removal, clearance pruning and structural assessment, scheduled to respect the species' sensitive timing and protected status. |
| Wood Chipping | From $95 | On-site chipping of brush from a trim, a storm or a clearing job. Chips leave with the crew or stay as mulch around beds and the root areas of established trees. |
| Deadwood & Branch Removal | From $85 | Targeted removal of dead, broken and hanging limbs from mature trees. A light, quick visit that cuts the chance of branch failure through the windstorm months. |
| Trees Near Hydro Lines | Free estimate | Clearance of branches contacting the private service mast and drop that belong to the property. The distribution network itself belongs to BC Hydro and only they may work on it. |
| Fruit Tree Pruning | From $135 | Apple, plum, cherry and fig pruned for an open centre and manageable height: water sprouts removed, crossing wood cleared, fruiting wood kept within reach for picking. |
| Tree Planting | From $195 | Species selection for this mild coastal climate, planted with proper root-flare depth, staking and mulch. Drought tolerance is a real criterion here, not an afterthought. |
| Lot & Land Clearing | Free estimate | Clearing building lots, opening field access and creating view corridors. Felling, extraction and stump work are coordinated in one mobilisation of equipment. |
| Tree Disease Diagnosis | From $95 | Inspection of the crown, trunk, root flare and surrounding soil to identify decay fungi, cankers and root problems, followed by a written recommendation: treat, prune or remove. |
| Arborist Report & Risk Assessment | From $125 | Written assessment of tree condition, stability and retention value, prepared in the format commonly required to support a municipal permit application or a development submission. |
