A damaged, unstable or declining tree can present a serious risk to people and property. Our TRAQ-qualified arborists can evaluate visible defects, site conditions and potential targets, then provide a clear recommendation for pruning, monitoring or removal.

For trees in confined spaces, near structures or in difficult terrain, our experienced crews plan each removal carefully and dismantle the tree in controlled sections. Every project is completed with a focus on safety, property protection and thorough cleanup.

Storm damage, broken limbs and tree failure can create urgent and unpredictable hazards. Alpine Precision provides emergency assessment and removal for trees that have fallen or are at risk of causing further damage. Contact our team as soon as possible. We will assess the situation, identify the safest approach, help secure the affected area and prioritize execution.

Light pruning of trees and removing of dead wood can be done anytime - this keeps your trees healthy and free of debris. However, pruning incorrectly or pruning too aggressively can drastically affect the health of your trees, and should only be attempted by a professional arborist. Different species of tree require different care; Alpine Precision is trained to identify specific tree species and provide the care and pruning expertise that each species requires. Contact Alpine Precision, and we’ll have someone give you a cost estimate to do your pruning work the right way.

Stumps often pose a problem - after the removal of a tree, it seems like a daunting task to get a stump removed. Alpine Precision has the knowledge, equipment and personnel on hand to help you grind out or remove stumps and restore your property to its true potential. Contact Alpine Precision for a consultation - not only can we help you get started with quality advice, we can get the job done to your full satisfaction. 

The first step toward safer and healthier trees is to take responsibility. Urban trees are like any other valuable asset. Better management increases the returns and minimizes the risks. Being proactive throughout the life of your tree, or at least as long as you have ownership.

When a tree gets sick, is infested with destructive pests, or is damaged by weather, it poses a safety hazard. You might think your tree is fine, but there can be many factors that affect the health of your tree, many of which are unseen.

At Alpine Precision Tree Services, our ISA TRAQ Certified Arborists have the knowledge, skills and certification to help you make informed decisions using the ISA TRAQ systematic assessment process.

Establishing the value of trees is fundamental to arboriculture and our urban forests Without an estimate of tree value, there is little to motivate investment in tree protection and management. When trees are viewed more as liabilities than assets, they are removed and too often not replaced. As tree canopy cover diminishes, our communities become less livable. Recent advances in tree valuation make it possible to develop reasonable estimates of the benefits trees do and will produce.

Under the Town of Canmore’s recent creation of the ‘Tree Protection Bylaw’, it’s now more important than ever to understand the importance of Tree Appraisals. We know your project has time limits, and we want to help you get things rolling as quickly as possible. Any tree on town land being considered for removal for development must be valuated by an arborist using the Trunk Formula Method.
