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.

Consulting
It is important to remember that proper tree care starts when you select a tree. How you nurture and treat your tree in its first few years of life will affect its shape, strength, and its life span. Following the proper procedures will make sure the trees you care about get the proper foundation for life and keep them healthy.
Our expert arborists are well educated in tree management and will show you the best way to care for the trees on your property through adequate watering and pruning, or let you know what to look for in case you think there may be a disease present. Alternatively, get Alpine Precision to provide you with an on-site consultation where we can assess and evaluate the health of your trees.
Tree Health and Risk Assessments
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. Unless you are a seasoned tree observer, you may have no idea what to look for in your trees. 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. There may also be prior storm damage affecting your tree’s stability.
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.
Tree Appraisals
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. For more information, refer to the the Town of Canmore’s website below.
The experts at Alpine Precision Tree Services have the training and knowledge needed to valuate trees.
Forest Management
Living on the front step of the backcountry means that we have a unique habitat to manage. When you’re presented with the challenge of managing your forested environment, consider Alpine Precision as your knowledge hub.
We provide specialty services including Danger Tree & Wildlife Assessments, mountain pine beetle survey/ removal, FireSmart fuel reduction management, and identifying and removing wildlife attractants.
Under the Town of Canmore’s ‘Wildlife Attractant Bylaw’, homeowners are responsible for removing attractants from private property. Sometimes, incentives are put in place through the Town of Canmore to help homeowners with the costs associated with removals. For more information, please refer to the the Town of Canmore’s website below.
Rest assured that we have the experience, knowledge and training to help educate you to make the best decisions in your Forest Management.
