Our Take on Alberta Arborists

Few Edmonton tree companies name their senior arborists and list credential numbers, and Alberta Arborists does. A 4.8 rating across 214 reviews supports the claim, with the main cost being a busy season wait.

    Alberta Arborists in Edmonton - fantastic service, everything was quick, clean, and professional.

    October 2026Google
  • Andre Banks5.0

    I had an Edmonton Alberta Arborist team come by and remove a bunch of trees from my property yesterday, and I couldn't be happier. Old growth trees were located very close to the house in situations, literally inches away, and others in between power lines or across property lines. Out of 8 trees only one seemed straight forward to me. Watching this highly professional squad navigate through my challenging property with ease was a sight to see. I would highly recommend these guys and use them again.

    Once again top notch service with a crew led by Justin. Stump grinder also did an excellent job.

    We had this company to remove a tree from between our houses and wow what can I say? Best service ever they showed up on time had it done within the hour cleaned up all the mess and were so friendly. The two workers Matt and Cody were even great enough to put a couple of pieces aside for myself and my neighbour so we can do some winter projects.

    Worth the Wait! A busy season prevented our job getting done til July, but this crew was amazing. 10 tall aspens removed in 90 mins, and you would never know they or the crew had been there. Professional, happy, courteous.

    I recently hired Alberta Arborists to remove three mature aspen trees (two in the front yard and one in the backyard), and the experience was excellent from start to finish.<br>I have used Alberta Arborists before, and once again they exceeded my expectations!<br><br>The crew was professional, courteous, and clearly experienced. They took great care to protect my property, landscaping, and surrounding areas throughout the removal process. Despite working in some tight spaces, everything was completed safely and efficiently.<br><br>What impressed me most was the cleanup. When they finished, the yard was left as they found it. with all debris removed and the work area looking better than when they arrived.<br><br>If you're looking for a professional tree removal company in the Edmonton area, I highly recommend Alberta Arborists. Their attention to detail, respect for the property, and quality of work are outstanding. I will definitely use them again for future tree care needs.

Company Background

About Alberta Arborists

Alberta Arborists runs tree removal, pruning and stump grinding for Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park and surrounding areas, and its site reports more than 25 years in the business. The Google listing puts the yard at 5480 Meridian Street NW in east Edmonton.

The people are named, which is not common. Craig Jabs is the senior arborist, an ISA Certified Arborist since 1996 (number PR0184A), qualified in ISA tree risk assessment, certified in tree valuation through Arboriculture Canada, and a former president of the ISA Prairie Chapter. Justin Pannell is lead arborist and head foreman and operates the bucket truck, and the site says he specializes in complex removals and crane-assisted work. The company says it is fully licensed, insured and WCB covered, and its team lists training through Arboriculture Canada and Arbormaster.

Alberta Arborists has 4.8 stars from 214 Google reviews, read November 7, 2026. Andre described old trees inches from his house and others between power lines. Gina had three mature aspens removed and had hired the company before. Chris wrote that Justin sized the crew and equipment to a monster tree. Teresa waited until July because of a busy season, then watched ten tall aspens come down in 90 minutes.

Two cautions. Busy seasons can push jobs back by weeks. The company website lists a Gateway Boulevard suite and a 780 phone number, while Google shows the Meridian Street address and a 587 number, so confirm where the crew and the office are before you book. Google shows Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Alberta Arborists suits large removals near structures and lines. It suits less well a person who needs same week scheduling in summer. Ask for a written quote naming the arborist, request the WCB and liability certificates, and ask whether chipping, wood hauling and stump grinding are included.
