Tree Felling in Capira
Capira is our base, so travel here is short and the assessment visit is easier to schedule. We fell and prune trees on homes, lots and farms: old trees next to the house, limbs over roads, and living fences that have grown too large. We handle the MiAmbiente Panamá Oeste permit. The base price is $200 to $800 per tree.

Farm and yard trees in Capira
Capira mixes town homes, farms and large properties toward the mountains. Three jobs come up most: taking down an old tree that threatens the house or shelter, clearing limbs over a road or power line, and pruning living fences that cast too much shade or block the entrance.
A titled farm does not mean any tree can be felled. Natural forest requires a management plan, and that use is currently suspended (Res. DM-0587-2024). The strips along streams (100 m) and springs (200 m) are protected. What can be permitted without trouble is felling or pruning individual trees for hazard, disease or construction.
