Tree Removal in Lloydminster
Safe removal of any size tree — including technical removals near houses, garages, fences, and power lines.
Some trees simply have to come down. Maybe a spruce has grown too close to your foundation, a poplar is dropping limbs every windstorm, or an elm has died and become a hazard hanging over the neighbour's fence. Whatever the reason, removing a tree in a Lloydminster yard is rarely as simple as cutting it at the base — most residential removals happen within falling distance of something valuable.
Royal Tree Services has been removing trees across Lloydminster and the surrounding area since 2015. We handle everything from small ornamental trees to 60-foot spruce and poplar wedged between houses, and we carry the liability insurance and WCB coverage to do it properly.
What's included in our tree removal service
Every removal starts with an assessment of the tree, the space around it, and how the wood needs to come down. On most residential jobs that means climbing or working the tree down in sections rather than felling it whole — limbs are roped down over anything they could damage, and the trunk is blocked down piece by piece.
- Complete removal of the tree down to a low stump
- Sectional dismantling with ropes and rigging where there's no room to fell
- Full cleanup — branches chipped or hauled, wood bucked into firewood lengths on request
- Raking and blowing the work area so your yard looks better than we found it
- Optional stump grinding so you can reseed or landscape the spot
When a tree needs to be removed
Not every problem tree needs removal — pruning solves a lot. But there are situations where taking the tree out is the right call:
- The tree is dead or mostly dead (bare branches in summer, peeling bark, fungus at the base)
- Storm damage has split the trunk or torn out major limbs
- Roots are heaving sidewalks, cracking foundations, or invading sewer lines
- The tree leans over a house, garage, or play area and gets worse each year
- It's a diseased elm — Dutch elm disease is a real concern on the prairies and infected trees should come out quickly
- You're building, fencing, or landscaping and the tree is in the way
Our process, from quote to cleanup
Getting a quote is easy: call us, use the quote form on this page, or send photos through the chat on our website — for straightforward removals, photos are often enough to give you a firm number the same day. For bigger or trickier trees, we'll come out and look in person, free of charge.
On removal day we protect the work area, take the tree down in a controlled sequence, and process the debris as we go. Most single-tree removals are done in a few hours. Before we leave, we walk the site with you to make sure you're happy with the cleanup.
Safety and insurance
Tree removal is consistently ranked among the most dangerous jobs there is, and it's not something to hand to whoever shows up with a chainsaw and a half-ton. We work to professional arboricultural standards, use proper rigging equipment, and carry full liability insurance plus WCB coverage — so if anything ever went wrong on your property, you would not be the one on the hook. We're happy to show proof of insurance before any job.
What affects the price of tree removal
Tree removals in the Lloydminster area typically start around $500, and larger or more technical jobs cost more. The main factors:
- Size — a 20-foot ornamental is a very different job from a 60-foot spruce
- Access — can equipment get near the tree, or does everything come out by hand through a gate?
- Obstacles — houses, garages, fences, sheds, and power lines all mean slower, more careful rigging
- Condition — dead and brittle trees are more dangerous and take more care
- Debris handling — full haul-away costs more than leaving bucked firewood on site
Tree Removal FAQs
How much does tree removal cost in Lloydminster?+
Most residential tree removals in the Lloydminster area run from about $500 for a small, easy-access tree up to $2,500 or more for large spruce or poplar in tight quarters. The honest answer is that every tree is different — send us a photo and we can usually give you a firm quote the same day.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property?+
For trees on your own private property in and around Lloydminster, you generally don't need a permit. Trees on city property — boulevards and rights-of-way — belong to the city and can't be touched without permission. If you're unsure whose tree it is, we can help you figure that out before any work starts.
Can you remove a tree that's close to my house or power lines?+
Yes — that's most of what we do. Trees near structures are dismantled in sections with ropes so nothing falls where it shouldn't. For trees in contact with utility service lines, we coordinate the safe approach, which can include having the utility temporarily drop the line.
What happens to the wood and branches?+
Branches are chipped or hauled away, and the trunk wood is either removed or bucked into firewood lengths and left for you — your choice, and it affects the price. We rake and clean the work area before we leave.
Is the stump included in tree removal?+
Standard removal takes the tree down to a low stump. Stump grinding is a separate service using dedicated equipment — we can almost always do it in the same visit, and bundling both usually saves you money.
