Professional Arborist Services Across Edmonton
Edmonton’s urban forest is one of the city’s greatest assets. From mature elm‑lined streets in historic neighbourhoods to new developments pushing into established areas, trees across Edmonton require knowledgeable, preservation‑focused care.
Our climate brings long winters, freeze‑thaw cycles, summer storms, and strong river valley winds. These conditions can stress mature spruce, ash, maple, and elm trees — especially in areas with compacted soils, narrow boulevards, and high pedestrian traffic.
Professional Arborist Oversight Helps Reduce Risk
Whether you are managing a residential property, overseeing a commercial site, or coordinating construction near existing trees, professional arborist oversight helps reduce risks such as:
Premature tree decline
Storm damage and falling limbs
Root conflicts with sidewalks and foundations
Costly bylaw or permit issues
Unnecessary tree removal
Our certified arborists provide pruning, removal, emergency response, and tree protection planning — always with a preservation-first approach.

Limited equipment access in established neighbourhoods
