“Called River Valley after a heavy snowfall bent one of our old maples dangerously low. The crew came out within two days, cleared the weight, and shaped it back properly. We were relieved they caught it before a branch came down on the roof.”
Winter tree pruning
“Our spruce was drooping badly under wet snow and ice when we contacted them. They arrived promptly, removed the buildup carefully, and the tree sprang back to shape. The crew was friendly and the whole job took less time than we expected.”
Early season snow removal
“We needed our cedar hedge brought back to shape and the lawn edges cleaned up. The team trimmed it to about 1.8 metres and really got the lines straight. Quote response took a bit long, but the final result was exactly what we wanted and they left the yard tidy.”
Hedge and lawn work
“After planting a young spruce last spring, we weren't sure how to stake it properly through the Alberta wind. River Valley came out and installed the bracing so it could develop strong roots without stress. Really impressed with how methodical they were about the spacing and tension.”
Young tree staking
“A large birch near our driveway was dropping branches onto the gravel and needed work. They pruned it back, cleared all the debris, and chipped it on site. The driveway is clear now and the tree looks healthier. Happy with the cleanup and the price was fair.”
Driveway tree clearance
“Our old oak needed thinning before winter, and we wanted someone who knew what they were doing. The arborist assessed it carefully, removed the dead wood and crossing branches, and explained what he was doing as he went. The tree is more open to light now and we feel reassured it's set up well for the season ahead.”
Mature tree autumn pruningReal photos of our own jobs in Edmonton · every picture shows the finished result a customer got
| Service | From | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tree Removal | Free estimate | Full removals in tight rear-lane lots and 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 $295 | Our ISA-certified crews trim residential trees across the Edmonton area: deadwood removal, roof and lane clearance, and rebalancing the crown, with the cut plan explained before the first climb. |
| Tree Pruning & Crown Reduction | From $265 | Structural work on the framework: crown reduction, thinning and rebalancing of mature elm, green ash and spruce, cutting wind sail and snow load without carving an artificial silhouette into the tree. |
| 24/7 Emergency Tree Removal | Free estimate | Rapid response after a heavy wet snowfall or a summer windstorm: tree down on a building, hanging limb, split trunk. The site is made safe first, then the dismantle follows. |
| Low Branch Removal | From $105 | Clearing low limbs over driveways, roofs, rear lanes and private service drops, with clean cuts made at the right point on the branch so the wound closes properly. |
| Stump Grinding | From $135 | 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. |
| Hedge Trimming | From $85 | Trimming residential hedges on one or both faces, levelling the top and bringing back hedges left to run for several seasons. Around here that means caragana, cotoneaster, lilac 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 — often planted when the street was laid out — can be kept rather than removed. |
| Dutch Elm Disease Assessment | Free estimate | Edmonton holds one of the largest healthy stands of American elm left anywhere, 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. |
| Heavy Snow & Cold Damage Cleanup | Free estimate | A wet spring snowfall on trees that have already leafed out is this city's most reliable branch-breaker, and a deep cold snap splits bark on young trunks. We clear the breaks and assess what the winter actually did. |
| Wood Chipping | From $115 | 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. |
| 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 $155 | 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 $225 | Species selection genuinely hardy for this zone, planting at the correct depth, staking where exposure demands it, and watering instructions for the first seasons on dry alkaline soil. |
| Land Clearing | Free estimate | Partial or full clearing of residential lots, acreage edges and rural driveways: opening access, clearing shelterbelt regrowth, removing aspen suckering, and chipping everything on site. |
| Tree Disease Diagnosis | From $145 | 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 $235 | 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. |
