Your project in the canton of Lucerne
The canton of Lucerne is centred on the city of the same name, on the shores of Lake Lucerne, and extends into the Entlebuch and the Seetal. Lucerne's old town, with its covered bridges and painted façades, has many old buildings where lorry access is restricted. Kriens, Emmenbrücke and Ebikon form the suburban area, with many rental blocks and condominium flats. On the lakeshore, Meggen and Horw feature villas and houses with views. Further west, Sursee and Willisau have kept small old towns surrounded by countryside and farms. The canton is German-speaking, but you can explain your project in English in your request. For work on an old building or the exterior, check with your municipality. Give the municipality and postcode, the available delivery space and access to the building's different floors.
- In Lucerne's old town, describe vehicle access and whether there is a goods lift.
- For a lakeside villa, say whether the plot is sloping and how it can be reached.
- In a condominium in the suburbs, state whether the work affects the communal areas.
Tree care and pruning in the canton of Lucerne
In the canton of Lucerne, the shores of Lake Lucerne are home to fine wooded properties, particularly in Meggen and Horw. Beeches, cedars and weeping willows frame the view of the water, but their crowns can become too dense or unbalanced over time. Careful crown reduction preserves both the panorama and the health of the tree. Further inland, in the Seetal and the hinterland, farms keep orchards of tall standard pear and apple trees, as well as large solitary limes that need making safe as they age. In the residential districts of the urban area, requests tend to concern trees too close to buildings. For any felling, it is best to consult the municipality beforehand.
- By the lake, have the roots of willows and poplars checked, as waterlogged soil weakens their anchorage during storms.
- For an old tall standard pear tree, ask for maintenance pruning spread over several years rather than one severe cut.

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