Storm season
Tree damaged in a storm? Here is what to do
November winds and saturated ground bring trees and limbs down across the region. If a tree looks unsafe, keep your distance and get it looked at.
Signs a tree may be dangerous
- New lean after a storm. A tree that has started leaning, or leans more than it used to.
- Lifting or cracked soil at the base, or exposed roots on one side.
- Cracks or splits in the trunk or where large limbs join.
- Dead or hanging limbs over your house, driveway, or a neighbour's property.
What to do right now
- Stay clear. Keep people, pets and vehicles away from the tree and anything under it.
- Near power lines? Call BC Hydro first. Assume any downed or touching line is live. Do not touch the tree or branches. BC Hydro: 1-888-769-3766 Call 911 if anyone is in immediate danger.
- Then call us. We will connect you with a local tree service to deal with the tree.

FAQ
Common questions
Who will actually do the work?
Victoria Tree Removal is a referral service. When you call or send a request, it goes to our partner, a local tree service in Greater Victoria. They contact you, provide the estimate and do the work. Any agreement is between you and them.
Is the estimate free?
Requesting an estimate through this site costs nothing and there is no obligation. The tree service will confirm how they quote when they call you back.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Greater Victoria?
Often, yes. Most Greater Victoria municipalities have tree protection bylaws, and larger or protected trees often need a permit before removal. Rules differ between municipalities, so check with your municipality. The tree service can help you work out what applies to your tree.
A tree came down on a power line. What should I do?
Stay well back, keep others away and assume the line is live. Call BC Hydro at 1-888-769-3766 or 911 if there is immediate danger. Do not try to move the tree or branches yourself. Once the line is safe, a tree service can handle the cleanup.
How much does tree removal cost?
It depends on the tree's height and condition, how easy it is to reach, whether it is close to a house or power lines, whether you want the wood hauled away, and whether you want the stump ground. The tree service will give you a price after looking at the job.
What happens to my information?
We share your request only with our partner tree service so they can contact you about it. We do not sell your information.
