WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN EMERGENCY?

Emergency tree removal is generally needed for hazardous trees that are at risk of falling, have fallen over and are impeding access to your home or vehicle, or have fallen onto your home or vehicle, thus damaging your property even further. If someone has been injured, call emergency services first.

Emergencies can be caused by a variety of things, such as:

  • Storm damage: high winds knocking over a tree, heavy snow causing branches to break off and fall, lightning strikes, ice storms, excessive flooding, etc.

  • Tree Diseases: some damage can be caused if the tree is old and sick.

  • Human Error: an impact from a car or heavy equipment.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM OUR VISIT

An emergency tree removal will typically consist of a few components. 

The first part would be safely removing the downed tree itself. This problem poses the most significant risk to you and your family, blocks access to your property and creates a hazard.

Once the tree is removed, what is left of the broken stump may remain. We then recommend stump grinding as the safest and most reliable method to remove the last remnants of your tree.

Our professional arborists at All Season Tree Service can consult with you after arriving on the scene and will be more than capable of advising you on whether or not you should have a tree removed and what the appropriate course of action would be.


We offer fast turnarounds on emergencies, with more urgent situations getting priority. Please remember that every situation is unique, and yours may take more or less time, depending on the job.

COMMON REASONS EMERGENCY TREE REMOVAL IS NEEDED

Some common reasons for emergency tree removals in Alberta are:
​

  • Dead branches become hazardous:
    Large dead branches are dangerous to anyone or anything passing beneath them. They should ideally be removed before they fall. Additionally, if you notice that all the dead branches are located on one side of the tree, it may indicate deeper root or trunk damage on that side. Call us to assess the situation.
     

  • Leaning trees:
    Any tree that leans more than 15% vertical will be under much stress and will likely require removal before too long. If you notice your tree leaning suddenly, it might indicate weakened or broken roots.
     

  • Power lines:
    You must ensure your trees do not interfere with power lines. During thunderstorms, electricity can arc up to 10’, grounding out through nearby foliage and causing a power failure and structural damage to your home.
     

  • Placement of the tree:
    Having a tree hanging over your roof is a hazard. Large species of trees should always be planted at least 20’ away from any structure. If a tree's location interferes with drivers' or pedestrians' sight lines in a way that causes hazards to traffic, it should be trimmed or removed entirely.
     

  • Trunk damage:
    Keep an eye on the tree if you see any indicators of internal decay – vertical cracks, seams, dead branch stubs, and open wounds. If more than 25% of the tree’s circumference is damaged, the tree should be removed.

STUMP GRINDING IS OUR PREFERRED CHOICE OF REMOVAL

Once our emergency services team has removed the damaged or fallen tree, a jagged stump remnant is very likely left behind. Rather than removing the whole stump with its root system, we suggest grinding it down instead. Our arborists will safely grind it down to below ground level and then cover it up with dirt. Over time, it will gradually decay with minimal disruption to you and your yard. This is both the quickest and most affordable stump removal option compared to DIY and using dangerous chemicals.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO AVOID TREE EMERGENCIES IN EDMONTON

To prevent tree-related emergencies, regularly review the following key preventive measures, many of which are simple to implement:

 

  • Inspections: A tree professional with a valid certificate should inspect trees each year or every other year and provide indications about rot, parasites, or structural problems.

 

  • Pruning: Prune trees during periods of inactivity, such as late at night or early in the morning, when temperature variations are minimal. Remove dead or weak branches at their point of origin, especially those near buildings or power lines, to reduce the risk of falling limbs.

 

  • Care of the roots: The soil should never be compacted around the roots, as this prevents airflow and water/nutrient uptake. Use good mulching techniques and avoid root-disturbing activities when possible.

 

  • Pest and disease monitoring: Periodically inspect trees for signs of pests and diseases. Early detection can help prevent health decline, which could make the tree more vulnerable to significant damage from environmental elements.

 

  • Water and fertilize properly: A watering program, particularly during dry periods, keeps trees moist. Supplements help if your plant needs them, but be careful not to be misled into feeding your plant unhealthy additives, which may cause serious damage to other creatures.
