Your project in the canton of Geneva
For a project in Geneva, give the municipality and postcode, the rooms or building elements involved and the outcome you want. Describe the actual access: floor, lift, vehicle approach, parking and space for deliveries. Say whether the home or business premises will remain in use during the work. In a rented property or condominium, identify which areas are private and which are shared, and who coordinates decisions about them. If the project changes the exterior or concerns a protected building, check the applicable requirements with the competent authority before starting. Photos, existing plans and any approval documents already available help define the work without assumptions about a neighbourhood’s buildings.
- In a rental building or condominium, say whether the property management company or the co-owners have already given their agreement.
- For a flat in town, give the floor, whether there is a lift and what parking is available.
- For a villa in the Geneva countryside, describe access to the garden if machinery needs to get in.
Tree care and pruning in the canton of Geneva
In Geneva, many properties in Cologny and on the left bank are home to cedars, oaks and plane trees planted several generations ago. These majestic trees require careful follow-up: maintenance pruning, dead-wood checks and sometimes cabling to support a fragile main limb. In residences and buildings run by a property management company, requests often concern ornamental trees in shared areas or branches that obstruct balconies. The bise can tear off weakened shoots in winter, while hot summers put stress on older trees. In Geneva, felling is particularly closely regulated: before any cutting or significant reduction, the municipality will guide you on the permit to obtain.
- For a century-old cedar on a Geneva property, ask for a full examination of the crown before deciding on a reduction.
- If you live in a building run by a property management company, send it photos of the troublesome branch so it can coordinate the work with the arborist.

Frequently asked questions
How is a tree felled safely in Geneva?
The tree surgeon first assesses the tree's condition, lean and surroundings. Depending on the space available, the tree is felled in one piece or dismantled section by section with ropes. Ask whether the stump will be ground out and whether the wood and branches will be taken away.
What information helps assess a tree near a building?
Provide photographs from a safe distance showing the tree and its surroundings, and describe recent branch loss or changes in its condition. Mention nearby structures, paths and overhead lines. Do not climb or cut branches yourself to inspect the problem.
What should I compare in tree surgeon and tree removal quotes?
Compare the pruning or removal method, site protection and handling of branches and timber. State whether stump work is included. Ask who checks any applicable tree-protection requirements and how access for machinery and public or shared paths will be managed.
How should I prepare for the tree surgeon and tree removal visit or work?
Keep people away from unstable limbs and give the tree specialist safe access details. Identify boundaries and objects that need protection from photographs or a plan. Discuss work near shared property with the relevant owner before authorising the intervention.
