Tree removal in Merville
Courtenay Tree Removal works on Merville acreages in Electoral Area C, Puntledge – Black Creek. We check local aquatic and riparian development permit rules for your address before quoting tree removal from $400.
On an acreage you are usually looking at a stand of forty trees behind the house, not one. We work out which of them could actually reach the house if they came down.
How do you decide which trees actually need to go?
We walk the line between your buildings and the standing timber and measure each tree against its distance from the house. We check which way it already leans and whether the top is still alive. Most acreage jobs come back as a short list of three or four trees, not the clearing people expect when they call us.
Can you get equipment up the driveway?
Usually. Tell us about the drive when you call, because a chipper and a grinder need about a metre of clear width and somewhere to turn at the top. On a long rural drive, wood we can back the truck up to costs you less to clear than wood we have to carry out by hand.
What does the written quote cover on an acreage job?
One number for the short list, with each tree named and the hauling and stump work priced on their own. We walk the property with you first, and our written quote details every tree discussed during the visit alongside the single stem you initially called about. An acreage job usually makes the quote longer than you expected. You can cross any tree off it and the number comes down.
Rural acreage work starts with a site visit to check driveway access and tree lean. You can request a free tree removal quote and we will come inspect your mature second growth.
