Let's nurture your trees back to their majestic best and help you understand when it’s time to say goodbye.
Mature trees, with their sprawling branches and gnarled trunks, stand as silent sentinels to the passage of time. These venerable giants not only add an air of natural grandeur but are essential components of our ecosystem. However, as with all living things, time takes its toll, and recognizing the signs of a mature tree in distress is crucial. Neglecting these silent cries can have far-reaching consequences, including property damage and safety hazards. Join us as we delve into the top warning signs to be aware of, and the meticulous process our Edmonton Arborists follow to ensure the seamless transition from venerable to vanished, all while preserving the legacy of these arboreal giants. All while ensuring your mature tree removal is done safely and efficiently.
In a world that's constantly evolving, trees stand as ancient sentinels, silently witnessing the passage of time. These majestic beings often outlive generations of humans, but just like us, they too undergo the inevitable process of aging. In this blog, we'll delve deep into the signs of an aging tree, and the thoughtful and sometimes necessary steps we must take to remove mature trees. It's a story of life, aging, and responsible stewardship of the environment. Consider these top 5 biggest factors:
The journey of an aging tree begins with its bark. As a tree grows older, its once-smooth, vibrant bark becomes rough, furrowed, and weathered. These changes are akin to the wrinkles and lines that appear on our skin as we age. This transformation not only adds character to the tree but also indicates its age.
One of the most evident signs of aging in trees is the gradual thinning of their canopy. As trees age, their branches may become weaker and more prone to breaking. This leads to a noticeable reduction in foliage, leaving gaps in the once-dense canopy. In some cases, this may lead to the tree becoming more susceptible to disease or pests.
Young healthy trees thrive on rapid growth, pushing upwards with vigor and increasing in diameter. However, as a tree ages, its growth rate slows significantly. You might notice that an older tree seems to have reached a height plateau. This slow growth is a telltale sign of the tree's aging process.
Aging trees often bear the weight of their years in the form of dead or hollow limbs. These limbs, which were once vibrant and full of life, may become weak, brittle, and lifeless. Larger branches that are hollow are particularly concerning, as they can pose a safety hazard and increase the risk of branches falling and the possibility of a dead tree.
Just as our immune systems weaken with age, they become more vulnerable to diseases and pests as they grow older, causing them to become sick trees. This is a natural part of the aging process, and it often requires more intensive care and maintenance to keep the tree healthy. Diseased trees can also pose a risk to nearby trees as some species and pests spread fast. When tree roots are infested, a professional will need to deal with the entire system from branches to roots and soil to stop the spread.
There are other times when mature tree removal is necessary. From dead branches or weak branches that pose a risk, or when a storm has irreparable damage and you need emergency tree removal. Snow or lightning can be equally damaging from the trunk to the mighty branches. The proper equipment becomes essential to deal with your mature tree removal to ensure the safety of the surrounding environment and all those around it. Read on to learn more about how we approach this process.
The aging process of trees mirrors the journey of human life, with its own set of signs and challenges. Just as we care for our elderly loved ones, we must also care for aging trees. Read on to see how our team of experts assesses and determines the best approach for mature tree removal in Edmonton.
When it becomes evident that a mature tree needs to be removed, the process begins with a careful assessment. Our certified arborist typically evaluates the tree's health, its potential risks, and the overall direct impact on the surrounding landscape. As a general rule of thumb, we consider whether there are alternatives to removal, such as structural pruning or cabling.
Responsible removal involves understanding and adhering to local regulations and environmental impact considerations. In many places, the removal of a certain type of tree species may be heavily regulated to protect the local ecosystem. We take extra care to obtain the necessary permits and follow best practices for minimizing environmental impact.
The removal process itself requires the use of specialized tools and techniques. The experienced arborists and tree removal experts from our team will employ various methods, such as climbing and dismantling, stump grinding, pole saws, or using a crane for larger tree trunks. The choice of method depends on the tree size, location, appearance, or surrounding environment.
Safety is paramount during tree removal. Our professionals follow strict safety guidelines for every project, including wearing appropriate safety equipment and establishing safety zones to protect both the workers and bystanders. The process often involves careful planning to avoid damaging nearby structures.
Responsible, mature tree removal doesn't end with its removal. It also involves additional factors such as proper disposal and, ideally, recycling of the wood and tree stumps. Wood from removed trees can be repurposed into lumber, firewood, wood chips, or mulch, contributing to sustainability and reducing waste.
After the tree is removed, it's crucial to address the impact on the landscape. This may involve planting new trees or shrubs, laying grass seed, filling in the void left by the removed tree, and restoring the aesthetic balance of the environment. We work with you and determine the best approach to rehabilitate the space.
Responsible tree removal is not merely an act of extraction; it's a careful, thoughtful process that considers the tree's impact on the environment and the safety of the people around it.
By understanding the signs of an aging tree and the art of responsible removal, we can better appreciate the profound role trees play in our world. They are not just silent witnesses to time but living entities that deserve our respect and consideration throughout their lifecycles.
Mature tree removal in Edmonton is not merely a localized task but an essential component of maintaining a balanced ecosystem.

What a fantastic crew!!! Sarah & Shane came and trimmed my rather large tree. Such a professional, knowledgeable, caring, capable and courteous crew. Very well done from beginning to end.They did a fabulous job!
Trusty Trees did their magic at my Mothers house in Fort Saskatchewan. Mikex2 we’re on time, organized and knew their business. Gave the trees a good haircut as they had a lot of dead areas. Very pleased with their service, would definitely recommend them! Much thanks Mike and Mike.
We had a crew from Trusty tree services to come and remove 6, 40 foot aspen trees. They did an awesome job. They were very knowledgeable and very considerate of our property and our neighbours property. They had our yard and neighbours yards totally cleaned up when they were finished. I would highly recommend Trusty Tree Services
We had a crew from Trusty Tree Services trim three trees on our property a few weeks ago, sorry for the late review. Couldn't be happier with the whole process. From the estimate to the final clean up, everything went very well. I contacted other companies for estimates, didn't even get a call back. Thanks again Trusty Tree for a great job!
Trusty Tree Services came out and pruned our Amur Cherry tree in Fort Saskatchewan and did a great job. The technicians were knowledgeable and gave me tips on how to better take care of our tree. The technicians were friendly and polite and cleaned up before they left. I would definitely recommend Trusty Tree Service!
Excellent job! I highly recommend this company. I will be calling again this fall! I am very happy.
We had an amazing experience with Trusty Tree. They gave a prompt estimate for some very difficult trees in our campground. They arrived on time and began work immediately. Their expertise shone through as they brought down the trees on point! Friendly, informative, professional and outstanding workmanship. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Shout out to Colton, Joe and Adrian - great work!
We had Trusty Tree out this year to shape and thin 4 trees and 3 Mugo Pine shrubs. I was impressed with a quick appt for the quote and then quick response for booking. Our trees were pruned earlier in the season as this was the recommended timeframe, and the Mugo Pine shrubs pruned later in the spring after the new growth appeared. I'm pleased with the crew that came out, they were polite, professional and experienced. We are happy with how our trees and shrubs look and feel the price was fair. We would definitely recommend Trusty Tree and will have them back in the future. Thanks for taking extra time with us to talk about proper pruning too!
Very professional and courteous crew. Difficult tree to cut down with bucket truck given clearances.
I am a new widow and my yard work is so overwhelming, I called Trusty tree to come over and give me a quote. Because my husband who has slways been in love with taking great care of our home,has passed I am here to do it alone.Trusty tree are the most professional people I dealt with..And they actually had the most professional quote,they took pictures of my Tree to elaborate on what needed to be done,and explained why everything had to be done in a certain way...after 3 other companies coming out I realized that Trusty Trees quote was extremely fair. So when the Trusty Tree crew arrived to prune my beloved tree, they were ready, and really understood the sentimental value of my tree that my late husband and I used to sit under every night. The crew members Joe and Shane collaborated beautifully brought down the required amount of my tree..They had a fantastic chipper on site and they also cleaned up the yard so beautifully after the cutting was done...If anyone reads this review,please understand how much that tree meant to me and my late husband. Joe and Shane gave it a loving and caring trim, and they where not only hard working but very informative of the process,and very just great guys,they included their sense of humor to make the trimming process easier on me. THEY were so compasionate and understanding . I thank them for that..... If you are thinking of pruning your gorgeous beloved tree, Trusty Tree has got be your only choice. THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!

This was the second time I've used this company for mature tree removal. This time 4 fully grown columnar Aspen trees located close to fencing, a deck and between 2 houses were successfully removed with no damage to the aforementioned structures but also nearby concrete curbing. Work was done as scheduled, quickly and neatly. Very satisfied with the work.
Great service by the guys at Trusty Tree Services. Very professional and knowledgeable. They really knew their stuff about how to properly prune each type of tree in our yard. Our trees look so much better now and will have the opportunity to thrive. Good care for our garden ornaments and great cleanup afterwards.Thank-you
Mike And Shay trimmed 11 trees in and around our complex this morning and did an amazing job. They were professional and punctual. Arrived on time, very efficient and ensured that all branches were clean up before leaving. Very pleasant to work with and we look forward to working with Trusty Tree Service over the summer and fall.

Thank you Sarah for all of your help!
Sarah was very knowledgeable and walked us through the options of our tree removal. The team was friendly and overall a great experience. Would highly recommend Trusty Tree Services.
I look for three things when it comes to service: 1) friendly attitude, 2) timeliness, and 3) efficiency. The crew were excellent in all three scores. It was great to see a clean truck, maintained gear, and use of personal protective equipment as well. This is a great choice for tree care. Done in less than an hour!!!
Mike’s crew did an amazing job for us - pruned trees & removed every visible black knot fungus. They picked up every twig & left our yard tidy. Very personal & professional crew - would strongly recommend their services ! 👍
Sarah and crew were here this morning and did one terrific job of trimming all of our trees. I highly recommend them to everyone needing any tree services done.
Sarah and Danny did a great job removing a large tree from the front of my yard. I was impressed with the time efficiency and clean up. I would recommend.
When Trevor came to quote my yard at my new house, he helped me identify all the trees and shrubs, and clearly explained what work needed to be done. When the day came to do the work, Kolton and Carl were friendly and also walked me through what they were doing and why (I'm interested in these things and was asking questions). They did their best to save my cherry that is infected with black knot. Looking forward to having them come back to continue tree maintenance in the future.
We had trusty trees! Cut down our tree and put all new grass down in our back yard and it's absolutely beautiful 😊 Also the crew are very friendly and extremely hard workers! Thank again ❣️
Excellent value for the work they provide. Our crew was very professional and cleaned up the area they chipped in, right down to the pavement.
Trusty Tree is great. Had them remove two trees with cleanup and shredding. looks great and would use again!
We had a tree in our yard that had died a few years earlier and wasn’t sure who to call. We called Sunstar who recommended Trusty Tree to us. Trevor came out to look at our tree. We didn’t realize we had another Tree that was diseased. He sent us a quote very quickly. He was able to book a time for tree removal, stump grinding, as well as planting our new trees. The project was done in the timeline provided. The crews showed up on time or earlier than expected which was amazing! They were very professional. I would hire Trusty Tree again!
Professional, courteous and reasonable pricing. Keep it local folks!
Excellent service. Good response time and automatic communication / payment system. Work was done effectively and efficiently.
