Serving the Cowichan Valley
Tree Removal in North Cowichan
Duncan Tree Removal serves North Cowichan and Chemainus, where no tree protection bylaw covers private-property removals — a rule stated directly on North Cowichan's own website. Development Permit Areas 3 and 4 are the exception, restricting removal near sensitive natural or hazard land.
Tree removal in North Cowichan typically runs $400 to $4,000, the same Vancouver Island range that applies across the Cowichan Valley.
No tree protection bylaw, with two exceptions
North Cowichan states plainly: "North Cowichan does not have a tree protection bylaw." Development Permit Area 3 (Natural Environment) and DPA 4 (Hazard Lands) still apply on affected parcels — a real, checkable contrast with Duncan's Bylaw No. 3135 next door.
Chemainus and the wider municipality
Chemainus, within North Cowichan, carries the same regulatory picture as the rest of the municipality — no tree bylaw on private land outside DPA 3 and DPA 4. Duncan Tree Removal serves both the Chemainus townsite and the rural areas around it.
