Your project in the canton of Graubünden
Switzerland's largest canton, Graubünden brings together alpine valleys, renowned resorts and three languages: German, Romansh and Italian. Chur, the capital, has a lively old town and expanding residential districts. Davos, St. Moritz, Arosa and Klosters are home to chalets, second homes and hotels, often at high altitude. In the Lower Engadine, Scuol is surrounded by Engadine houses with thick walls decorated with sgraffito, while Poschiavo, in the south, is Italian-speaking. In the mountains, snow, pass roads and a short building season mean that outdoor work must be planned carefully. Whatever the valley, you can write your request in English. For a traditional house or visible work in a village, it is advisable to contact the municipality first. Give the municipality and postcode, when the property is accessible and any mountain road or transport restrictions.
- For a chalet at altitude, explain winter access and when the work could take place.
- For a second home, state when you will be there and who can let tradespeople in.
- For an Engadine house with thick walls, attach photos of the façades and openings.
Tree care and pruning in the canton of Graubünden
In Graubünden, altitude, snow and slopes shape the arborist's work. In Chur and the Rhine Valley, gardens are home to walnuts, limes and fruit trees that enjoy the mild climate but suffer from the foehn. In the Engadine and around St. Moritz, the larches and Swiss stone pines surrounding chalets and holiday homes must be kept clear of roofs, chimneys and access routes. Many owners are only present for part of the year and therefore entrust the inspection of their trees after snowfalls or storms. In the mountains, the short season without snow limits the window for work. Before cutting down a notable stone pine or larch, ask your municipality.
- If your chalet is unoccupied in winter, ask for an inspection visit after heavy snowfalls to spot broken branches.
- For a Swiss stone pine planted near the house, favour light pruning: this species heals slowly and copes poorly with large cuts.

Frequently asked questions
How is a tree felled safely in Graubünden?
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.
