01: About the neighbourhood
Serving Riverdale, Virginia Park & Highlands
Riverdale, Virginia Park, and Highlands are among Edmonton's most established neighbourhoods, known for their mature tree canopies, character homes, and tree-lined streets. Trees in these areas are often large, long-established, and integral to both property value and neighbourhood identity.
City Tree Service provides professional arborist services throughout these communities, supporting homeowners and property managers with responsible, preservation-focused tree care.

Emergency Tree Response in Riverdale, Virginia Park & Highlands
Riverdale, Highlands, and Virginia Park are full of mature canopy. When one of these big mature trees fails, it tends to fail with a lot of weight and an awkward landing spot near the house, a garage, or a shared property line.
We're based in central Edmonton with the rigging gear for this kind of work, and we know which fence lines, tight accesses, and tricky landing spots matter when a crew is working in this part of the city.
