Why You Might Need Tree Removal

Disease or Decay

When a tree’s limbs and foliage lose health and visual appeal, it becomes a hazard.

Overgrown Canopy

Branches too close to your home can trap moisture against walls and roof, inviting rot or mold.

Structural Damage

Cracks in the trunk or weakened limbs risk sudden collapse and property damage.

Landscaping Changes

Clearing space for new gardens, hardscaping, or structures often requires tree removal.

Our Professional Tree Removal Process

Site Assessment

We inspect tree health, root systems, proximity to structures, and potential hazards.
Permitting & Planning

If your removal requires municipal approval, we handle the paperwork and ensure compliance with City of Lethbridge bylaws.
Safety Setup

We cordon off the work area, deploy rigging lines, and use cranes or bucket trucks when necessary to protect your home and landscape.
Tree Removal or Relocation

– Removal: Sectional dismantling from the top down, lowering limbs with ropes to avoid damage.

– Relocation: When feasible, we carefully uproot and replant trees using specialized equipment.
Stump Removal & Grinding

After felling, we can grind the stump to below grade, leaving the area ready for planting or construction.
Debris Cleanup

All wood, branches, and sawdust are hauled away or shredded into mulch that you can reuse.

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.
