What we work on here.
Most of our work in Riverbend and Terwillegar is the long game: pruning growing trees so they develop right, planting species that'll do well on these lots, and catching small issues before they become big ones.
Long-term care plans built for properties where most of the canopy is still on the way up — and crews who'll tell you when a tree doesn't need to be touched.

04 — Emergency
Emergency Tree Response in Riverbend & Terwillegar
Riverbend and Terwillegar are newer subdivisions — the emergencies are usually green ash and spruce coming down in summer storm events, on larger lots with more landscape to protect on the way out.
We cover south Edmonton same-day for hazards, with equipment that fits through standard suburban gates and the planning to keep the rest of your yard intact while we take the damaged tree down.
