Why Devine Arboricultural Solutions
Here’s why Port Moody homeowners trust us with their trees.
Qualified for Hazard Permits
Port Moody only issues hazardous tree removal permits when a TRAQ qualified arborist confirms high or extreme risk. Tiger Devine is an ISA Certified Arborist (#P8007A) with TRAQ.
Reports From Your Arborist
Your arborist report comes from the person who assessed the tree, so it matches what is actually on your property.
Permits Handled
Navigating permits can be confusing; that’s where we come in. We offer concierge permit services, handling the full application or walking you through exactly what’s needed, depending on the job.
Full Cleanup
Every job, from tree trimming to stump removal, includes complete site cleanup and debris removal. We leave your property cleaner than we found it, no exceptions.
Tree Care for Port Moody Properties
Port Moody wraps around the head of Burrard Inlet, with neighbourhoods climbing steep slopes on both sides of the water. From Heritage Mountain and Heritage Woods to College Park, Glenayre and Pleasantside, many properties back onto forested ravines, creeks or parkland like Bert Flinn Park.
That setting means large native conifers close to homes, sloped lots, and plenty of land inside the City’s environmentally sensitive areas and creekside riparian zones. Good tree work here protects the ground as well as the tree.
Port Moody adopted a new Tree Protection Bylaw in March 2026. A permit is now needed to remove any tree 30 cm or larger on any private lot, not just in sensitive areas. We write the arborist reports these permits call for and plan every job around the rules from the start.

What Port Moody Homeowners Say
Posted on Google Timm RittbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On-time, good price, really good job, and the two fellows were cheerful and friendly. And the tree is now safe and quite majestic. I would use these guys again in an instant.Posted on Google Ken BayneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were very impressed with the work of Tiger and Devine Aboricultural Solutions. Tiger came and scoped out the garden - trees, shrubs, groundcover and annuals - and recommended options for dealing with overcrowding and a persistent fungal problem. He completed the work in a professional and knowledgeable manner, doing more than we agreed to. When complete we were provided a summary of the work, a description of issue that arose and recommendations on improving the garde. We couldn't be happier.Posted on Google Challen Pride-ThorneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. (updated review June 2026) This is my second experience with Devine Tree Services, and I continue to be impressed by the consistency of their service. Lawrence and Tim completed our winter pruning in December, while Jackson and George were the arborists on site for this summer's work. Both teams demonstrated excellent skill, professionalism, and attention to detail. I appreciated the company's communication throughout the process. The appointment reminders included the service instructions that owner Tiger Devine had provided during our consultation. Because the work was divided into winter and summer phases, the reminders were a helpful reference and reinforced our earlier discussions. The reminders also identified the arborists who would be performing the work. I value knowing who is coming to my property, and it allows me to personally thank the individuals involved and confidently recommend them to friends and neighbours. We have two old-growth Western Red Cedars that required deadwood removal, hazard mitigation, and a slight raising of the canopy. In addition, we requested that the height of a large rhododendron be reduced while retaining an attractive, natural profile. George took the time to review my request to reduce the rhododendron's height by two to three feet. He explained that such a significant reduction would result in a less natural appearance for a few seasons. Instead, he recommended a gentler pruning approach that moved the branches away from the house and surrounding maple tree without giving the shrub an overly "buzz-cut" appearance. When I came outside to view the final result—especially the cedars—I remarked that I loved how you could feel the change more than see it. The space seemed airier, and the light filtered beautifully through the trees. Jackson's skill in the canopy was evident in the finished result. I also appreciated the teamwork involved, with one arborist in the tree and another on the ground helping to ensure safety and offering a different vantage point on what needed adjustment. Together, they achieved a result that felt both natural and carefully considered. The team also provided pruning and shrub-care advice so that my husband and I can maintain the trees until the next time we need Devine Tree Services' help. They arrived as scheduled, communicated with us throughout the process, and left the property spotless when the work was complete. We would be happy to use Devine Tree Services again and recommend them to friends and neighbours. (December 2025) I highly recommend Devine Arboricultural Solutions. Tiger Devine, the company owner, provided valuable tree health advice during our consultation. After the appointment, we were promptly provided with an online estimate outlining pruning for each tree, divided into winter and summer work. Our winter work was completed by Lawrence and Tim, who did an excellent job pruning our cherry tree, lotus tree, and Japanese maple. They removed limbs to provide roof clearance, shaped outliers, and cleared deadwood, carefully ensuring that too much live foliage was not removed, which helps to maintain the trees’ health. I especially appreciated that they showed us the initial trim and discussed the remaining plan before completing the work. The work area was left spotless, with all cuttings removed and the ground thoroughly cleaned. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout.Posted on Google Makyta SimmsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing service and carePosted on Google andrea hirjiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team did an excellent job reshaping our cedar hedge and ivy. They also supplied us with a fantastic care plan to ensure the health of our hedge. Very knowledgable team you can trust.Posted on Google Weird SeanceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently hired Tiger and his team to do some tall tree trimming on several properties for my work. They did an incredible job, very thorough AND thoughtful. My organization will not hesitate to hire Devine Aboricultural Solutions again in the future. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Wei GaoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tiger provided excellent service and a very professional arborist report for us. I really appreciated his patience, understanding, and clear communication. He helped us understand the city bylaws regarding tree protection and 'topping.' If you need an honest and knowledgeable arborist in Vancouver, I highly recommend Devine Tree Service.Posted on Google Larry AgnewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I received great advice and prompt professional service from Tiger and his team. I would highly recommend them.Posted on Google James TempletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tiger was incredibly helpful and provided us with great advice regarding our “leaning apple tree”. He took the time to explain the causes and options as well as general advice. He is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him.Posted on Google S KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a client of Devine Arboricultural Solutions for several years and have consistently been impressed with the quality of their work. Most recently, Tiger’s team did an outstanding job trimming a very large, overgrown hedge on our property, completing the work with impressive efficiency. They also expertly pruned several trees, leaving everything looking clean, balanced, and well-maintained. Tim, Ed, Jackson, and Ollie were professional, courteous, and detailed-oriented throughout the process. Their care and workmanship really stood out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality arboricultural work.

Port Moody Tree Questions
Port Moody’s new Tree Protection Bylaw changed the rules for many homeowners in 2026. Here are answers to the common questions.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Port Moody?
Usually, yes. Under the Tree Protection Bylaw adopted in March 2026, you need a permit to remove any tree 30 cm or more in diameter at breast height on private property. The limit drops to 10 cm in environmentally sensitive areas, riparian zones, on developing properties, and for protected native species such as arbutus, Pacific dogwood and Pacific yew.
Do I need a permit to prune a tree in Port Moody?
No. Pruning on your own property does not need a permit as long as it follows good arboricultural practice. Pruning that damages a tree, such as topping, can breach the bylaw, which is why hiring an ISA certified arborist is the safe choice.
What if my tree is dead or hazardous?
You still need a permit. A hazardous tree needs an arborist report from an ISA certified arborist with TRAQ. A dead tree, or one with more than half its crown dead, usually does not need an arborist report. If a tree is about to fail, emergency removal is allowed, but you must apply for a permit the next business day with evidence.
Will I need to plant replacement trees?
In nearly all cases, yes. The City also takes a refundable security deposit, returning half after planting and the rest after two years if the new trees are healthy.
How long does a Port Moody tree permit take?
City staff typically review applications in two to four weeks. Removals between March and August may also need a bird nesting survey from a qualified environmental professional, so it pays to plan ahead.
