Proper pruning isn’t just about looks—it’s about long-term tree health and safety.

We handle:

Crown thinning and shaping
Deadwood removal
Clearance pruning (homes, garages, walkways)
Structural pruning for young and mature trees

Done right, pruning reduces the risk of falling branches, improves airflow, and helps your trees withstand Alberta’s heavy snow and wind conditions.

Some trees can’t be saved—and when that’s the case, removal needs to be controlled, safe, and efficient.

FAQs

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Edmonton?

In most cases, no—but there are exceptions, especially for city-owned or boulevard trees. We can help you determine what applies to your property.

When is the best time to prune or trim trees?

Late fall through early spring is ideal, but hazardous branches should be addressed immediately.

Do you remove all debris?

Yes. Full clean-up is included unless you request otherwise (for firewood, mulch, etc.).
