Your project in the canton of Vaud
The canton of Vaud stretches from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Vaud Alps. Lausanne, built on steep slopes, has many older rental buildings, condominium flats and streets where parking is difficult. On the Riviera, Vevey and Montreux combine Belle Époque buildings with villas overlooking the lake, while the slopes of Lavaux are covered in terraced vineyards. Nyon and Morges combine old towns and residential districts. Yverdon-les-Bains, at the end of Lake Neuchâtel, and Payerne, in the Broye, open onto more rural surroundings. In the Chablais and the Alps, around Aigle, chalets and mountain houses contend with snow. For a façade, windows or an extension, approval may be required, so check with your municipality. State the municipality and postcode, the type of property and access to the rooms or outdoor areas concerned.
- In Lausanne, describe the slope of the street, the floor and parking options for a works vehicle.
- For a winegrower's house in Lavaux, describe access via the vineyard paths and the space available.
- For a chalet in the Vaud Alps, give the altitude and the period when the road is clear.
Tree care and pruning in the canton of Vaud
The canton of Vaud offers a wide variety of situations for tree care. On the Riviera, in Montreux in particular, terraced properties retain cedars, sequoias and palms inherited from the grand gardens of the past, which require careful monitoring. In Lausanne, neighbourhood gardens and apartment buildings run by a property management company often have trees too close to the buildings. On La Côte, large plots include old oaks, plane trees and walnuts exposed to the bise. In the Vaud Jura and the Alps, the spruces around chalets bear heavy snow. For felling or major pruning, the municipality will tell you what is permitted.
- For a sequoia or cedar on the Riviera, have the root anchorage checked, as it is often restricted by terrace walls.
- On La Côte, ask for the large broadleaf trees exposed to the bise to be lightened before winter to reduce the risk of breakage.

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