Dangerous Tree Removal

Protecting Your Home from Nature’s Hidden Hazards

While trees bring beauty and character to our Vancouver Island properties, they can sometimes pose serious risks that demand immediate attention. That majestic cedar or towering fir you’ve admired for years might be harbouring invisible dangers—internal decay, root instability, or structural weaknesses that transform these natural wonders into potential threats during our coastal storms. At Custom Tree Falling, we understand the emotional connection you have with your landscape, but also recognize when a tree has become a liability rather than an asset. Our specialized dangerous tree removal service addresses those worrisome trees showing signs of rot, disease, or instability before they can cause catastrophic damage to your home, vehicles, or neighbouring properties. Our certified arborists combine technical expertise with careful assessment to identify high-risk situations and provide safe, efficient removal solutions that protect what matters most—your family and your property. Don’t wait until that concerning tree becomes tomorrow’s emergency; let our friendly, experienced team help you make your property safer with our professional dangerous tree removal service that brings peace of mind through every island storm season.

Tree Risk Assessment

We evaluate trees for structural weaknesses, disease, or decay to determine if they pose a threat to your property or safety.

Safe Tree Dismantling & Cleanup

We carefully dismantle dangerous trees and ensure thorough debris cleanup, protecting your landscape and nearby structures.

Safe Solutions for Hazardous Trees

Dangerous trees pose significant risks to property and safety, requiring professional assessment and removal. In British Columbia, trees are typically considered dangerous when they show clear signs of structural compromise, disease progression, or positioning that creates high-risk conditions.

How to Identify Dangerous Trees:

  • Significant lean with extensive dead branches
  • Visible cracks, splits, or hollow sections in the trunk
  • Top-heavy structure with excessive height relative to trunk stability
  • Evidence of disease or pest infestation (fungal growth, carpenter ant activity, etc.)

Professional Removal Methods

For dangerous trees in confined spaces or areas inaccessible to larger equipment, our certified climber-arborists provide specialized removal services. These professionals use industry-standard climbing spikes when appropriate and employ comprehensive safety equipment including proper climbing harnesses, ropes, and fall protection systems that meet WorkSafeBC requirements.

The Importance of Professional Assessment

While some property owners consider handling tree removal themselves, dangerous tree removal requires specialized knowledge, equipment, and experience. Without proper training, attempting to remove compromised trees can lead to serious injury or property damage. The complex variables of tree weight distribution, internal decay patterns, and proper cutting techniques require professional expertise.

Protecting Your Property and Family

Trees contribute immense value to your landscape, but compromised trees present significant liability. Trees exhibiting signs of disease or structural instability require prompt professional attention to prevent potentially catastrophic situations.
