Written for big conifers, wet ground and local rules

Most tree advice is written for somewhere flat and dry. Here a Douglas fir can stand over a hundred feet, a cedar can lean toward the house for years, and saturated winter soil lets a sound-looking tree tip over at the root in the first big outflow wind.

These guides start from that, with the questions we hear most: what a removal costs, when the city or county has a say, what to do about a neighbour's tree, and when to book. Where a figure or a rule has not been confirmed, we say so rather than guess.

Got a tree you are not sure about?

Send a photo and tell us what it is close to. We will tell you straight whether it needs to come down, needs trimming, or can be left alone.
