frequently asked questions

How much is an arborist in Calgary?

keyboard_arrow_down

Prices range from $275 - $3000, depending on the type of job, scope and difficulty required for your tree care.

Is an arborist the same as a tree cutter?

keyboard_arrow_down

an arborist is a more specialized tree professional who has undergone training in tree care, biology, and health. Arborists are knowledgeable about tree species, diseases, and proper tree maintenance practices. They assess the overall health of trees, diagnose issues, and provide recommendations for treatment and preservation.

Do you need a permit to cut down a tree in Calgary?

keyboard_arrow_down

There was talk of permits coming to the City of Calgary to remove trees from private property in 2023. This has been implemented in other parts of the country but for the time being, you do not require a permit to remove a tree off your property as long as its not located on the City of Calgary easement. The City of Calgary tree map is a good resource to see which trees on your property are yours, but its best practice to call 3-1-1 and request urban forestry to come out and confirm. You can be fined for pruning, removing or otherwise affecting the health of city trees.

Are you locally owned and operated?

keyboard_arrow_down
