Tree Removal in Calgary

Certified, Careful, and Community-Minded

At Chinook Arbor Services, we don’t just cut trees down — we help you make the right decision for your property, your safety, and the community canopy.

Removing trees can be a simple exercise that takes only a few minutes for a small tree to several days for a large specimen. The bigger the tree, the more technical the removal — and we’re fully equipped to handle it all, from tight urban spaces to hazardous trees in tough-to-access locations.

But we always start with the question: can it be saved?
Healthy, mature trees are irreplaceable assets. When possible, we’ll guide you through preservation options first.

When Tree Removal *Is* the Right Call

Some signs it’s time to consider removal:

  • Tree is dead, dying, or diseased
  • Major storm damage to trunk or canopy
  • Leaning dangerously or threatening property
  • Roots lifting sidewalks, foundations, or driveways
  • Obstructing new construction or utility lines
  • Cavities or structural defects from past damage
