Another method is climbing, in which we climb the tree and take it down piece by piece. This is best used for tight areas between buildings or whenever space is limited.

Lift or Bucket Truck

A lift or bucket truck is one safer option available. The type of equipment used will depend on the application and site conditions. Great for hazardous trees.

How it Works

The Steps Involved with our Tree Removal

Our tree removal process involves several key steps to ensure a safe and successful outcome for your Calgary property:
  • Assessment and Planning: Before any work can begin, the team will assess the tree, the surrounding area, and any potential obstacles or hazards. They'll then develop a plan for removing the tree safely and effectively, taking into account any special considerations, such as the proximity of power lines or other structures.
  • Cutting Down the Tree: Using specialized equipment, we will carefully cut down the tree, making sure to avoid any damage to nearby structures or plants.
  • Removal of Tree and Debris: Once the tree is down, the crew will remove the tree and any associated debris, such as branches and trunk wood.

Our team manages all facets of the tree removal process, so you don't have to worry about anything. With our years of experience and expertise, we'll ensure that the job is done safely, efficiently, and to your complete satisfaction.

Reasons and Signs it's time to remove a tree

While trees are a valuable addition to any property, there are times when removal is necessary for safety or aesthetic reasons. 

Some common signs that it may be time to remove a tree in Calgary include:

  • Dead or dying branches: If a significant portion of the tree's branches are dead or dying, it may be beyond saving and pose a safety risk.
  • Leaning or unstable: If the tree is leaning heavily to one side or shows signs of instability, it may be at risk of falling and causing damage.
  • Diseased or infested: If the tree is suffering from a disease or pest infestation that cannot be treated, removal may be the best option to prevent the spread to other trees.
  • Outgrown its space: If the tree has grown too large for its location and is causing damage to structures or interfering with power lines, removal may be necessary.
  • Landscape changes: If you are making changes to your landscape and the tree no longer fits with your design, removal can create space for new plantings.

If you are unsure whether a tree needs to be removed, our certified arborists can provide an expert assessment and recommendation. We can also help you explore alternative options, such as pruning or cabling, if removal is not necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Removal

What is the average cost for tree removal in Calgary?

keyboard_arrow_down

The cost of removing a tree depends on several factors, such as whether it requires technical tree climbing and rigging, any hazards in the area including the tree itself, location of the tree, and proximity to structures. Typically, for deciduous trees (trees with leaves), the cost ranges from $275 to $3000, and for coniferous trees (trees with needles/evergreens), the cost ranges from $275 to $1600. The removal of hedges, shrubs, or bushes is priced between $275 and $1000.

Is it possible to negotiate price on tree removal?

keyboard_arrow_down

There is a couple of options for negotiating a cheaper price for tree removal. One is keeping the firewood; our team will cut up the trunk of the tree to sizes you want and chip and haul away the brush. Another option is cleaning up the debris yourself, we come in, get your tree safely on the ground and we hand off the rest to you. This has worked for people in the community who need branches and trunks for firewood, art, festivals and religious occasions.

Do I need a permit?

keyboard_arrow_down

You do not need a permit to remove trees from your private property. Trees located in your side and backyard are almost most certainly your trees. Trees located on the front lawn might fall under the City of Calgary easement and therefore are actually the responsibility of the City of Calgary to maintain and remove the trees when they become sick or hazardous. You can take a look at the City of Calgary tree map to see if the tree is your responsibility and it's always best to call 3-1-1 and request Urban Forestry to confirm as easements can change over time.

What if my trees are growing into or near the high voltage power lines?

keyboard_arrow_down

In situations like this it's best to call Enmax and request they come out and prune the trees back from the lines to a safe 10 feet. We can handle that call for you or you can prep your site before looking for quotes by calling it in yourself. Once the site has been made safe, we can remove your tree. There is no additional cost for us to call it in for you.

Is stump grinding included with tree removal quotes?

keyboard_arrow_down

Typically, stump grinding and removal are a separate job. Depending on the species, some trees will try and regenerate another tree by shooting off suckers either at the stump or along the root system. Our team can provide information on the species of your tree and if it will try to regrow. Leaving the stump behind can help lower your costs.
