Why is Tree Pruning Important?

Vancouver's coastal climate creates unique challenges for tree health. Our mild, wet winters and extended growing seasons mean trees grow faster here than in most Canadian cities, but this rapid growth can lead to structural problems if left unchecked.

Storm Damage Prevention Pacific storms bring heavy rain and strong winds, especially between November and March. Dead branches, weak limb attachments, and top-heavy crowns become hazards. Proper pruning removes these risks before they cause damage to your roof, fence, or vehicle.

Disease & Pest Management Vancouver's humidity encourages fungal diseases like apple scab, powdery mildew, and various cankers. Pruning improves air circulation through the crown, reducing moisture buildup where pathogens thrive. It also removes infected branches before disease spreads to healthy growth.

The Blossom team did an excellent job on my sod install and renewal, along with hardscaping (putting in a new river rock pathway). They were prompt, detail-oriented, professional, and delivered exactly as promised with highly competitive pricing. They sent me a precise quote that included all materials and labour, and completed the whole project in a single day, less than a week after they provided the estimate. I’m impressed and happy to recommend them to others!

Blossom Landscaping provided an accurate and fair quote, showed up on time and did excellent work. They asked questions as necessary. I have booked them for more work and I would definitely recommend Blossom.

Frequently asked tree service questions

How often should I schedule tree pruning service in Vancouver?

Mature trees typically need pruning every 3-5 years. Younger trees benefit from structural pruning every 2-3 years to establish strong branch architecture. Fast-growing species or trees near structures may need more frequent attention. We recommend a schedule based on your specific trees and property conditions during our initial consultation.

What's the best time of year for tree pruning in Vancouver?

For most deciduous trees, late winter (February to early March) is ideal. Trees are dormant, wounds heal quickly once spring growth begins, and bare branches make it easier to assess structure. Flowering trees like cherry and magnolia should be pruned immediately after blooming.

Exceptions: Birch and maple trees are best pruned in mid-summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding. Most conifers can be pruned year-round, though dormant-season pruning encourages vigorous spring growth.

Do I need a permit to prune trees in Vancouver?

If your tree has a trunk diameter of 20 cm or more (measured at 1.4 m above ground), it may be protected under Vancouver's Tree Protection Bylaw. Significant pruning of protected trees requires a permit from the City. We assess your tree's status and help with permit applications if required.

What are the main benefits of professional tree pruning?

Professional tree pruning delivers several benefits:

• Safety by removing dead, diseased, or weakened branches that could fall during storms

• Tree health through better air circulation and sunlight exposure to the crown

• Longevity by preventing decay and promoting strong branch structure

• Aesthetics that enhance your property's curb appeal and value

• Clearance from structures, walkways, fences, and utility lines
