Why You Might Need Tree Pruning

Deadwood Removal

Eliminate dead or dying branches to reduce hazards, prevent pest infestation, and improve overall tree health.

Crown Thinning

Selective branch removal opens the canopy for better air flow and light penetration—stronger limbs and fuller foliage.

Crown Raising & Clearance

Lift low‑hanging limbs for safe pedestrian and vehicle clearance—ideal for driveways, walkways, and utility lines.

Crown Reduction & Shaping

Manage tree size and shape to suit your yard or site plan—perfect for residential properties and commercial landscapes.

Can you remove a tree near power lines?

Yes. Our technicians are trained in working around utility lines. We’ll coordinate with the utility company if de‑energizing is required for safety.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?

In Lethbridge, most removals of trees over 20 cm (8") diameter at breast height require a permit. We’ll handle the application process on your behalf.
What happens to the stump after removal?

We offer both full stump extraction and stump grinding. Grinding leaves mulch that can be reused in your garden, and extraction removes the entire root ball.
Will tree removal damage my lawn or driveway?

We use protective mats, low‑impact machinery, and rope‑techniques to minimize ground disturbance. Any minor damage is repaired before we leave.
