Tree Removal & Trimming in Larnaca

Price scales with height, trunk diameter, condition and — above all — access and what the tree can fall on. A small open-lawn tree is a morning's work; a large tree over a house, pool or power lines needs rigging or a crane and costs many times more. Stump grinding is almost always quoted separately.

Very often yes — councils and municipalities widely protect trees by size, species or zone, and fines for unpermitted removal are severe. Check before quoting: a legitimate tree company will know local permit rules and often handles the application for you. Never trust 'don't worry about the permit'.

Stump grinding is priced per stump by diameter, with minimum call-out fees making single small stumps relatively expensive and multi-stump jobs cheaper per unit. Grinding goes 15-30 cm below grade — enough to replant grass, but not always enough for building over; full root removal costs much more.

In most common-law countries you may trim overhanging branches back to the boundary at your own cost (offering the cuttings back), but you can't compel removal unless the tree is dangerous. Rules differ by country and state — document concerns in writing and check local dispute processes before escalating.

Standard quotes include chipping branches and removing debris; ask whether logs are hauled away, left cut to length for firewood, or chipped as mulch you keep — keeping wood and chips on site usually earns a small discount. Confirm the lawn/driveway protection plan for heavy equipment too.

Not always freely — old olives and carobs can fall under protection rules, and transplanting mature olives (they survive it well) is often the required or preferred route. Check with the municipality or Forestry Department before cutting.
