About Us

With 20+ years of tree-care experience and more than 2,000 projects completed, Edmonton Tree Service understands the challenges of maintaining mature trees across Edmonton’s urban forest. Our experience includes trees on residential lots, commercial properties and established neighbourhoods, with work planned around local conditions such as heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, strong winds, clay-rich soils and the mature elm, spruce, poplar and ash canopy found throughout the city.

Edmonton adds its own requirements. Dutch elm disease, elm bark beetles and black knot affect local tree-care decisions, while work involving City-owned boulevard and open-space trees may fall under Edmonton Urban Forestry requirements, including the Public Tree Bylaw, Public Tree Permits, Tree Protection Plans and Tree Preservation Plans.

• Public Tree Permits & Property Boundaries. Work near City-owned trees can require additional planning. Projects within 5 m of a City-owned boulevard or open-space tree, or within 10 m of a natural stand boundary, may require a City of Edmonton Public Tree Permit.
• Tree Protection & Preservation Planning. Excavation, grading and construction around public trees can affect protected root zones. Depending on the work, Edmonton may require a Tree Protection Plan or Tree Preservation Plan addressing construction activity, soil disturbance, grade changes and protection of City-owned trees.
• Edmonton Elm & Disease Requirements. Local tree regulations also influence when and how work is performed. Edmonton's elm-pruning restrictions, Dutch elm disease controls and elm-wood disposal requirements affect work involving American elm, while diseases such as black knot require appropriate identification and sanitation practices.
