Using the sight lines on the Stihl 362 to fit this spruce into a tight little yard. #arborist #tightspots #anytreeanywhere

Just one of the ways we recycle the wood chips from our tree removals and pruning, here is a 60’x110’ riding arena. Our goal is zero organic waste going to the landfill!

Pruning Poplars this morning. What a beautiful view of #minburncounty!

Slamming some Tree removals and Stumps today! #arborist #treeremovals #earlyspring

Training a new climber today. Nice job Krista LaRue!

Did you know that Elm removals are allowed year-round? BUT... all wood must be chipped or taken to an approved disposal facility, AND stumps must be ground out to at least 10cm below ground. Here’s a link to the full Alberta-Wide Elm Pruning bylaw: https://open.alberta.ca//f000b18b-f7d3-4795-a34a-e27804986

One of our previous employees did us proud this Easter! Happy Easter everyone, from the LaRueTree family!!!!

We’re coming up on the close of Elm pruning season. So, if you happened to have some elm firewood, or any prunings left around your yard or property, please dispose of them accordingly! Elm bark beetles are a declared pest under the APA, and All municipalities, counties and MD’s in the province of Alberta have the responsibility and authority to prevent and control DED under the APA. https://open.alberta.ca//f000b18b-f7d3-4795-a34a-e27804986

Sending a small top in Lavoy this morning.

Loaded up for 75+ stump removals today! Call us, available on an hourly rate with operator, or we can quote you a price. The perfect piece of equipment for stumps in windrows, farms, and acreages.

Tree surgery!! Well, we’ll give this a try and see if it makes it. This Little Maple failed during a wind storm and landed on the adjacent fence. With a combination of weight reduction pruning and a few bolts, we had it lifted and back in place in no time.

Веселого Рздва to all those celebrating Christmas tonight!!!

I love this little gem from the County of Minburn! Don’t forget reducing flooding as well... If you’re looking for help when planning a windrow, or need help restoring an old one, give us a call. It could be as easy as a consultation with a Certified Arborist to set you down the right path.

Some trees support themselves with tension wood, others with compression wood. This Elm tree pushes itself up and holds its branches in the air with compression wood. This ability to put wood growth on where it is necessary allows trees to develop long branches and trunks that can withstand windstorms, snow loads, and plenty of leaves come spring time!

Beautiful Elm to work in this morning! So nice to help out one of the biggest Elms in Vegreville stay happy and healthy. Happy New Year everybody!

When the barnyard animals want to join in on the video!!! Thanks geese... Winter Kill. It’s a normal occurrence on the prairies. Prune it out, and fertilize your roots system as soon as the ground thaws. Peter LaRue, LaRueTree Certified Arborists

Phototropism: the tendency of a plant or a fungus to grow towards the light. Gauge didn’t know the word, but he thought this Birch tree was cool enough to warrant a picture.

Working in a winter wonderland...

We have a bit of excess firewood in our stockpile, it’s green wood from urban and rural tree removals. $250 for the truck load, $50 delivery fee anywhere in Vegreville, Holden, Ryley, Mundare, Willingdon, Lavoy areas. Works out to very close to a cord of wood on this truck load.

A little bit of Elm pruning today! And a picture of the unloading crew, putting the wood chips away for the night. Siberian elm has very unique buds and branching pattern, as seen in the silhouette photo.

Another load split and ready to be delivered, this one’s going to Pigeon Lake.

Ask us about our commercial and residential snow clearing and removal programs. With $5 million commercial liability, and WCB coverage, you can relax and leave the heavy lifting to us.

There are some huge beasts in the more mature neighborhoods of Edmonton!
