Monkey Tree Services has been serving Vancouver and nearby areas for more than 20 years, and that’s enough for us to trust them. They handled our problematic maple with the kind of professionalism you hope for when a tree starts damaging your yard.

The crew explained the assessment clearly, helped us understand what was happening with the roots, and walked us through the steps for getting the necessary city approval. It felt straightforward to follow.

You should know in advance that they don’t accept credit card payment, which can be inconvenient if you’re used to digital payments.

Once we sorted that out, everything else moved smoothly. Their communication remained consistent, and they handled all the permit-related tasks themselves, which took a big weight off our shoulders.

On removal day, the crew worked carefully around our fence, cleaned up thoroughly, and even stacked the wood neatly out front for anyone to take. The whole job felt organized and respectful—an overall fantastic experience.

Did a great and clean job

“Joel, Ben and team were great. They were able to safely remove a tree and trim others away from my home. They did in a timely manner and cleaned up as well. I would highly recommend their service.”

Calling Devine Arboricultural Solutions gave us a clear sense of their experience before even stepping onto a job site. A staff member walked us through their scope of work, from large tree removals to detailed pruning and arborist reports.

They also highlighted that their team includes ISA-certified arborists, TRAQ-certified assessors, and even an industry trainer on staff. 

That level of credentialing already sets them apart, especially if you’re dealing with older trees, structural concerns, or bylaw-related issues.

They provide a no-obligation quote and describe how they tailor their recommendation to your trees’ health and also your risk profile. It’s noteworthy how past clients consistently talk about thoughtful assessments and honest advice!

Pricing sounded reasonable for the level of skill involved, and they seemed comfortable handling everything from small trims to complex removals involving root damage or tight spaces.

The only snag was that it took a few attempts to get someone on the phone, so expect a slight delay if you’re calling during a busy period.

Did a wonderful job to a very complex task

“Tiger and his team came out to remove a dead tree from our back yard.  This was a challenging job as the tree was right next to a power pole and branches were very close to power lines. And… the tree overhang onto my neighbor’s back yard.  They did a fantastic job without any hiccups, cleaned everything after they were done and on budget.  I highly recommend Tiger and his team for any tree related work!”

Price estimates are detailed and fair

“Tiger’s team has done an excellent job on removing a dead cypress tree at the front of our house. Their price estimates is detailed and fair. They handled the whole process from assessment and arborist report, to obtain the tree permit in no time. His colleges, Eric and Ed, arrived on time on the scheduled day of removal. They did a quick and fantastic job of cutting down the big cypress tree. The clean up job is excellent. Tiger, Eric and Ed were very friendly and polite. The job is professionally done. Their professionalism, knowledge about trees, friendliness and price fairness all deserve my recommendation!”

Silverback Treeworks shines for the variety of services they offer across the Lower Mainland, including pruning, hedge shaping, tree removals, and ongoing maintenance.

Their ISA-certified team has been operating since 2007! What we loved even more was how they’re very transparent about what goes into assessing a tree’s health, structure, and long-term impact on your property.

Furthermore, they also explained how they work around tight spaces, slopes, and obstacles, which seems to be a big reason clients mention hiring them for complex locations.

After speaking with their previous clients and discussing scheduling options, one recurring concern stood out: some clients mentioned hiccups with admin and timing. 

A few people reported missed appointments or crews arriving earlier than expected without confirmation. It isn’t a deal-breaker, but if you need precise scheduling or have limited availability, it’s something you’ll want to keep in mind when booking a visit.

Outside of that, the way their former clients described their work quality, safety practices, and cleanup standards does align with what we experienced during the call—steady communication and knowledgeable crews.

Incredibly impressive and very professional staff

“The expertise and aerial acrobats demonstrated by the Silverback crew when removing our 25+ foot cherry tree (fully loaded with soon to be ripe cherries) was incredibly impressive and very professionally done.  When all was finished they had the yard and street cleaned up of all debris.  From start to finish a 10 out of 10. Marianne Wilson”

Very reasonable price for an awesome job

“Silverback did a great job of thoughtfully pruning our vine maples. Their price was very reasonable and the work was done in a timely manner. They were very responsive to emails. We are very pleased and would highly recommend this local company.”

Reaching out to Aesthetic Tree & Hedge Services gave a clear picture of how established and detail-oriented their team is. Their staff effectively discussed their services with us: hedge shaping, pruning around power lines, and large tree removals.

We noted how they explained their approach to preserving tree health instead of defaulting to removals. Their ISA-certified arborists also prepare reports when needed, which can help if you’re dealing with bylaw requirements or safety concerns.

Another plus is that they serve a wide area, including West Vancouver, Coquitlam, and North Vancouver. Moreover, past clients consistently highlight how tidy and respectful the crews are when working in tight or delicate spaces.

While their workmanship is strong and the crews are reliable on-site, we’re iffy about how they don’t always answer phone calls or get back to inquiries right away.

Fair price for a job well done

“I called Yaniv to provide a quotation to cut the height of my hedges as well as trim them. The evergreens were really tall and untouched for 15 years.  He dropped by and provided a quote as well as some recommendations. Price was fair and Yaniv and his crew came by and completed the work and cleaned up debris. I’m very happy with the results and hIghly recommend him for tree and hedge services.”

Dave L, Google Review

Quality workmanship and excellent customer service

“As a business owner myself, I recognize and appreciate quality of workmanship and excellent customer service. Yaniv not only provides this, but also goes above and beyond wherever possible with the services he provides. The passion for his work truly shows from the excellent communication to execution of the tasks, to the overall site clean up, all was handled with immense care. I will be sure to utilize Aesthetic Tree & Hedge Services for all my future projects. Thank you once again Yaniv”

Grizzly Tree Experts’ pricing runs on the higher side, something you should take note of if you’re on a tight budget.

Still, once the conversation moved forward, it became clear why many homeowners feel the cost reflects the level of care they deliver. For instance, their team was easy to talk to, and walking through their approach was very fascinating.

We also like how their pruning and removal practices follow ANSI standards and how they prioritize tree health before suggesting removals.

From what we’ve seen, this team has proven that they deserve to be part of 2025’s Top 3 Tree Services in Vancouver for their professionalism and expertise in the field. 

Some highlights are their ISA certifications, hazard-assessment training, and long-standing experience working in Vancouver’s dense, urban neighbourhoods. Overall, they’re a solid choice if you value quality and knowledgeable tree care.

Comes with a drone retrieval process

“Dan was super helpful in the Drone retrieval process. The service turn-around was quick as well! He listened to my frustration about my drone being stuck in a tree and was very willing to help me recover my drone! Super professional and overall a mission success! Will definitely be needing his services in the future regarding anything tree related for sure! 🌲🌳”

Work was perfectly done in the property

“Grizzly Watery Experts is an excellent company for yard work. They have a very positive attitude and took the time to carefully understand our needs. The work was done perfectly, and the cleanup afterward was spotless. We will definitely choose their service again in the future — they are a trustworthy and reliable partner.”
