“We had a scraggly spruce that was taking over half the yard, and Chinook came out and shaped it up beautifully. The crew was quick, knew exactly what they were doing, and left the property spotless. Really impressed with how they handled the branches without damaging the lawn underneath.”
Bare tree trimming, residential
“Called them in late spring to trim back our overgrown cedar hedge and tidy up the front beds. The team showed up on time, worked methodically through the whole row, and the hedges are now uniform and healthy looking. We were relieved to see them haul away all the debris the same day instead of leaving it in piles.”
Cedar hedge trimming and landscaping
“Had to remove a dead oak that was leaning toward the house. The quote response took a bit longer than I hoped, but once they got here, the crew was professional and careful. The stump grinding was thorough, and they made sure to keep the root debris away from our underground services. Overall, very satisfied.”
Severe tree removal, residential
“We planted about two dozen saplings across our property to create a windbreak, and Chinook handled the whole layout and installation. They spaced them properly for the mature height and made sure the soil composition was right for the species mix we chose. The trees have taken well and we feel reassured they were planted to last.”
Young tree planting, agricultural
“Our backyard had serious drainage issues after heavy rain, so we brought in Chinook to grade the slope and add some strategic plantings to stabilize the banks. The grading is spot on now, water runs away from the foundation, and they planted native shrubs that should hold the soil through the freeze-thaw cycles. Happy with the whole approach.”
Yard landscaping and erosion control
“Our old maple needed serious pruning to keep it healthy going into winter. The arborist explained which limbs had to come down and why, and the crew executed it cleanly without leaving stubs or tearing bark. They even identified a couple of branches at risk from ice load and removed those too. It felt like they really knew their trade.”
Mature tree pruning, autumnReal photos of our own jobs in Calgary · every picture shows the finished result a customer got
| Service | From | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tree Removal | Free estimate | Full removals in tight inner-city lots and on open acreages alike, taken down in sections with controlled lowering wherever access demands it. Risk assessment, property protection and complete cleanup included. |
| Tree Trimming | From $325 | Our ISA-certified crews trim residential trees across the Calgary area: deadwood removal, roof and driveway clearance, and rebalancing the crown, with the cut plan explained before the first climb. |
| Tree Pruning & Crown Reduction | From $285 | Structural work on the framework: crown reduction, thinning and rebalancing of mature elm, green ash and spruce, cutting wind sail without carving an artificial silhouette into the tree. |
| 24/7 Emergency Tree Removal | Free estimate | Rapid response after a windstorm, a heavy wet spring or autumn snowfall, or a chinook blow: tree down on a building, hanging limb, split trunk. The site is made safe first, then the dismantle follows. |
| Stump Grinding | From $150 | Grinding the stump below grade with a purpose-built grinder, then backfilling with the chips or clearing them out entirely, depending on whether you plan to re-sod, replant or build over the spot. |
| Full Stump Removal | Free estimate | Full excavation of the stump and root plate where the ground is being rebuilt for a patio, a driveway or new landscaping, rather than simply ground down below the sod line. |
| Hedge Trimming | From $95 | Trimming residential hedges on one or both faces, levelling the top and bringing back hedges left to run for several seasons. Around here that usually means caragana, cotoneaster or dwarf spruce rather than cedar. |
| Tree Cabling & Bracing | Free estimate | Flexible cabling and bracing on trees with weak unions or a cracked scaffold limb, so a mature elm or poplar — often older than the house — can be kept rather than removed. |
| Dutch Elm Disease Assessment | Free estimate | Alberta is one of the last large regions in North America still free of Dutch elm disease, and keeping it that way depends on how elms are pruned and how the wood is handled. We assess your elm and explain what the rules actually require. |
| Elm Pruning (Legal Window Only) | Free estimate | Elm pruning in Alberta is restricted to the dormant window, and all pruned elm wood must be disposed of by the spring deadline. We book elm work inside that window and handle the wood correctly. |
| Wood Chipping | From $125 | On-site chipping of brush from our work or from your own cutting. Chips can be left as mulch on your property, spread into your beds, or hauled away entirely. |
| Low Branch Removal | From $110 | Clearing low limbs over driveways, roofs, parking pads and private service drops, with clean cuts made at the right point on the branch so the wound closes properly. |
| Trees Near Power Lines | Free estimate | Clearing branches interfering with the private service entrance between the pole and the house. The distribution network itself belongs solely to the distributor and only their crews may work on it. |
| Fruit Tree Pruning | From $175 | Pruning garden apple, crabapple, plum and cherry trees: opening the centre, removing water sprouts, and bringing old neglected trees back into useful production on our short growing season. |
| Tree Planting | From $250 | Species selection genuinely hardy for this zone and this wind, planting at the correct depth, staking where the exposure demands it, and watering instructions for the first seasons on dry alkaline soil. |
| Storm & Snow Load Cleanup | Free estimate | Heavy wet snow on trees still in full leaf is this city's signature tree-breaking event, and chinook winds finish what the snow starts. We clear downed trees, hanging limbs and blocked access, then reprice the risk that is left. |
| Tree Disease Diagnosis | From $150 | On-site examination of a declining tree: crown condition, bark, root collar and visible root plate, with a clear opinion on what can be kept and what has to come out. |
| Arborist Report & Risk Assessment | From $250 | A written report on a tree's condition and the risk it carries, used for insurance files, property transactions, neighbour disputes and development or construction applications. |
