01: About the neighbourhood
Serving East Edmonton's Established Neighbourhoods
Forest Heights, Terrace Heights, Capilano, and Ottewell are known for wide streets, large lots, and mature trees that form a significant part of Edmonton's urban canopy. Many trees in these neighbourhoods are decades old and require proactive care to remain healthy and safe.
City Tree Service regularly supports homeowners and property managers in East Edmonton with responsible, long-term tree care focused on preservation and risk management.
02: Services
What we work on here.
Most of our work in East Edmonton is keeping decades-old canopy healthy: pruning out the parts that are now hazards, treating what's stressed, and removing what genuinely can't be saved.
Crews equipped for the size of work these lots throw at us: full rigging, chipper truck on site, and the gear to take down a big poplar without cutting up the lawn.

04: Emergency
Emergency Tree Response in East Edmonton
East Edmonton has a lot of mature poplar, cottonwood, and green ash on wide lots. When a summer windstorm or wet spring snow takes one out, it's usually a big tree and a heavy cleanup.
We handle the size of work this part of the city tends to throw at us. Full rigging, a chipper truck on site, and the gear to take down a big tree without tearing up the rest of the yard.
