Tree & Shrub Services Edmonton

Hardy species that thrive in Edmonton's climate include Green Ash, Trembling Aspen, Colorado Blue Spruce, Amur Cherry, and Schubert Chokecherry. For smaller yards, ornamental options like Japanese Lilac and Amur Maple are excellent choices. We help you select species based on your soil conditions, sun exposure, and aesthetic goals.

The ideal pruning window for most trees in Edmonton is late winter to early spring (February to April) while trees are still dormant. This reduces stress and disease risk. Deadwood removal and emergency pruning can be done any time of year. Elm trees must be pruned between October 1 and March 31 to comply with the City of Edmonton's Dutch Elm Disease bylaws.

In Edmonton, you generally need a permit to remove trees on public property or boulevard trees. Trees on private property typically do not require a permit, but there are exceptions for mature or significant trees in certain neighbourhoods. We handle the permit process for you and advise on any requirements before work begins.

Our team inspects for common Edmonton tree diseases including Black Knot, Dutch Elm Disease, Bronze Leaf Disease, and various cankers. We look for signs like discoloured leaves, fungal growth, bark damage, and dieback patterns. Early detection and treatment can often save a tree that would otherwise need removal.

Tree pruning typically costs $200 to $800 per tree depending on size and complexity. Tree removal ranges from $500 to $3,000 or more for large trees requiring crane work. Stump grinding adds $100 to $400. We provide detailed quotes after an on-site assessment so there are no surprises.

Deep root fertilization injects nutrients directly into the root zone at a depth of 6 to 12 inches using a pressurized probe. It bypasses the turf layer and delivers fertilizer where trees can absorb it most efficiently. This service is especially beneficial for trees showing signs of nutrient deficiency, slow growth, or stress from Edmonton's heavy clay soils.
