Working in Calgary
Heavy wet snow and ice storms snap limbs, especially on trees with weak forks or dead wood. Late fall and winter are good times to prune many trees while they are dormant, and frozen ground lets crews reach backyards with less lawn damage.
Calgary is Alberta's energy-sector headquarters and the largest city between Toronto and Vancouver. Alberta's economy runs on energy, agriculture, and increasingly logistics; the province alternates dry continental summers with prolonged sub-zero winters that drive heavy demand on building envelopes.

Questions
Do you take tree removal and tree care jobs in Calgary?
Yes. Requests from Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge and the rest of Alberta are handled the same way. Use the quote form on this page, or email [email protected] with the service, the address and the timing.
A storm brought a tree down. What should I do first?
Stay away from it, especially if it is touching any wires, and contact your electric utility if lines are involved. Take photos for your insurer. Then send the details by email, noting that it is storm damage, whether the tree is on a structure, and whether a driveway or door is blocked.
Who handles trees near power lines?
Lines on the street poles are the electric utility's responsibility, and only qualified line-clearance teams can work near them. Branches near the service line to your house may need the utility to disconnect or cover it first. Mention any wires near the tree in your email so the right specialist reviews it.
How do I get a quote?
Email us your city, the service you need, and a short description: the type of tree if you know it, roughly how tall it is, and what is near it. A specialist who works in your area follows up to look at the job. Requesting a quote is free and there is no obligation to go ahead.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Often, depending on where you live. Many cities require a permit to remove trees above a certain trunk diameter, even on private property, and some protect specific species or every tree in certain zones. Fines can be steep. A proper quote should say whether a permit is needed and who takes care of it.
How much does tree removal cost?
It depends on the height and trunk size of the tree, its condition, what is underneath it (a house, a garage, wires, a garden), how a team and equipment can reach it, whether a crane or bucket truck is needed, and how much cleanup you want. A small tree in an open yard and a large maple over a roof are very different jobs. The only reliable number is a written quote after someone looks at it.
