Tree Care That Understands North Vancouver
North Vancouver isn’t like anywhere else in the Lower Mainland. Wedged between Burrard Inlet and the slopes of the North Shore Mountains, this community lives in and among its trees.
The steep terrain across Lynn Valley, Edgemont, and the Upper
Seymour creates difficult access conditions and significant slope-
failure risks when trees aren’t managed correctly. Our crews are
trained and equipped specifically for hillside removals — work that
requires specialist rigging and technical climbing expertise.
North Vancouver also sits in one of BC’s highest rainfall zones. The
combination of saturated soils, coastal windstorms, and dense
residential canopy means hazardous trees are a real and recurring
issue. We know which species — Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir,
Bigleaf Maple — are most prone to wind-throw and root decay in
your specific soil conditions.
Navigating permits can be confusing, that’s where we come in. We offer concierge permit services, handling the full application or walking you through exactly what’s needed, depending on the job.
Whether you need an emergency removal after a windstorm or routine pruning to keep your cedars healthy, we bring the expertise and care that North Shore properties deserve.

What North Vancouver Homeowners Say
Posted on Google Challen Pride-ThorneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. (updated review June 2026) This is my second experience with Devine Tree Services, and I continue to be impressed by the consistency of their service. Lawrence and Tim completed our winter pruning in December, while Jackson and George were the arborists on site for this summer's work. Both teams demonstrated excellent skill, professionalism, and attention to detail. I appreciated the company's communication throughout the process. The appointment reminders included the service instructions that owner Tiger Devine had provided during our consultation. Because the work was divided into winter and summer phases, the reminders were a helpful reference and reinforced our earlier discussions. The reminders also identified the arborists who would be performing the work. I value knowing who is coming to my property, and it allows me to personally thank the individuals involved and confidently recommend them to friends and neighbours. We have two old-growth Western Red Cedars that required deadwood removal, hazard mitigation, and a slight raising of the canopy. In addition, we requested that the height of a large rhododendron be reduced while retaining an attractive, natural profile. George took the time to review my request to reduce the rhododendron's height by two to three feet. He explained that such a significant reduction would result in a less natural appearance for a few seasons. Instead, he recommended a gentler pruning approach that moved the branches away from the house and surrounding maple tree without giving the shrub an overly "buzz-cut" appearance. When I came outside to view the final result—especially the cedars—I remarked that I loved how you could feel the change more than see it. The space seemed airier, and the light filtered beautifully through the trees. Jackson's skill in the canopy was evident in the finished result. I also appreciated the teamwork involved, with one arborist in the tree and another on the ground helping to ensure safety and offering a different vantage point on what needed adjustment. Together, they achieved a result that felt both natural and carefully considered. The team also provided pruning and shrub-care advice so that my husband and I can maintain the trees until the next time we need Devine Tree Services' help. They arrived as scheduled, communicated with us throughout the process, and left the property spotless when the work was complete. We would be happy to use Devine Tree Services again and recommend them to friends and neighbours. (December 2025) I highly recommend Devine Arboricultural Solutions. Tiger Devine, the company owner, provided valuable tree health advice during our consultation. After the appointment, we were promptly provided with an online estimate outlining pruning for each tree, divided into winter and summer work. Our winter work was completed by Lawrence and Tim, who did an excellent job pruning our cherry tree, lotus tree, and Japanese maple. They removed limbs to provide roof clearance, shaped outliers, and cleared deadwood, carefully ensuring that too much live foliage was not removed, which helps to maintain the trees’ health. I especially appreciated that they showed us the initial trim and discussed the remaining plan before completing the work. The work area was left spotless, with all cuttings removed and the ground thoroughly cleaned. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout.Posted on Google Makyta SimmsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I received great advice and prompt professional service from Tiger and his team. I would highly recommend them.Posted on Google James TempletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tiger was incredibly helpful and provided us with great advice regarding our “leaning apple tree”. He took the time to explain the causes and options as well as general advice. He is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him.Posted on Google S KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a client of Devine Arboricultural Solutions for several years and have consistently been impressed with the quality of their work. Most recently, Tiger’s team did an outstanding job trimming a very large, overgrown hedge on our property, completing the work with impressive efficiency. They also expertly pruned several trees, leaving everything looking clean, balanced, and well-maintained. Tim, Ed, Jackson, and Ollie were professional, courteous, and detailed-oriented throughout the process. Their care and workmanship really stood out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality arboricultural work.Posted on Google Pat McKenzieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Devine did a great job clearance tree that came down in a windstorm. Knowledgeable, efficient and thorough.

Common Questions
Tree care in North Vancouver comes with specific permit requirements and bylaw considerations. Here are the questions we hear most often.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in North Vancouver?
It depends on location and land designation. Both the City of North Vancouver and the District of North Vancouver have Tree Protection Bylaws that require a permit before removing trees in specific circumstances. Let us clearly identify the need for a permit and if necessary we can handle the permit application process on your behalf — permit and handling fees apply and will always be clearly outlined in your quote.
How much does tree removal cost in North Vancouver?
What's the difference between a certified arborist and a regular tree service?
Not all tree care is equal. An ISA Certified Arborist has passed the ISA exam, covering tree biology, pruning standards, risk assessment, and safe work practices. In BC, only ISA Certified Arborists can produce official arborist reports, and their work meets insurance standards that uncertified contractors do not. It’s the difference between guesswork and expertise.
Do you offer emergency tree service after storms?
Yes, 24/7. Fallen or hanging trees are a genuine safety hazard. Call us any time and a certified arborist will assess and secure the situation as quickly as possible. North Vancouver is no stranger to windstorms — emergency callouts are always our priority.
Is your company insured for work in North Vancouver?
Yes. We carry $5 million in commercial general liability insurance and all workers are covered under WorkSafeBC. We provide certificates of insurance before any job begins — because if an uninsured contractor is injured on your property, you may be held liable under BC law.
