When a tree removal is necessary?
A tree may need to be removed for numerous reasons. Sometimes too many trees were planted years ago all too close together, it may be time to remove trees to bring that curb appeal back to your property.
Diseased trees are another reason to remove trees. Diseased or infested trees may harm other trees on your property or plants in your garden. Have one of our team members help you diagnose your tree issues and come up with a plan moving forward. Removal may not be what you need.
High winds, lighting and even heavy rain may affect the structural integrity of your tree.

The life of a tree in Fort McMurray isn’t always easy. The cold winters and less than desirable soil conditions can be hard on a tree. We are very limited to species selection. This means a shorter life for most trees. If your tree is dying it’s always best to remove it before it is too late. It could save your house or even a life.
Tree pruning and trimming
Tree pruning or tree trimming is very important for the health and life span of a tree. A service that is often overlooked, it’s important to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to maintaining your trees. Pruning more regularly is always more cost effective and a huge benefit for your trees.
When pruning a tree, our arborists will focus on establishing structure for the future growth of your tree. By working on a tree’s structure we will be telling the tree how we want it to grow and setting it up for future success. Often trees get planted too close to each other or too close to a structure. By working with a tree year after year we can guide its growth in the right direction.
Black knot is often seen on most prunus trees in Fort McMurray ab. Black knot is a fungus that attacks only prunus species of trees. There is no cure but it can be mitigated. If the black knot is continuously cut off, your tree may thrive for years. Should the fungus be left to take over your tree, removal may be the only option.
Elm pruning is regulated in Alberta to prevent the spread of any future dutch elm disease outbreaks. Elm can only be pruned between October 1st and March 31st. Elm may be removed at any time, but stump grinding is mandatory and all wood must be chipped or disposed of properly. Elm can not be kept for firewood. The trunk wood can be kept, but it must have its bark removed and stored indoors and not in your yard.
Other reasons to have a tree pruned may be strictly for clearance purposes. In this case, our team will make selective cuts to coerce the tree’s new growth away from structures.
Stump grinding
After any removal is performed in your yard the option for stump grinding or a complete removal will be offered. Stump grinding not only takes that unsightly tripping hazard away, it may also make way for planting something else in its place.
Stump grinding entails grinding the stump down approximately 6″ below grade. We will also grind any visible chase roots in the immediate area of your stump. We finish it off by raking the fine shavings and soil mixture back over the hole for safety. Should you want new sod or earth and seed to finish the service off, we can help with that as well.
Removing a stump completely can be done as well, this service entails bringing in an excavator to completely remove the root ball. This service is typically used when planning on planting a new tree.
