When is the city responsible for tree removal

Every city will have different rules and regulations regarding this touchy subject. The city of Saskatoon recommends talking to city officials to organise a site visit. Every situation will be slightly different, so there isn't a 'one size fits all' solution to this often asked question.

Even though the decision could be out of your hands on whether or not you can have the tree removed, as the owner of the property or business, it's up to you to monitor the health of the tree. If there are noticeable signs of tree health deterioration, or hazardous branches and limbs, you can give us a call for a free assessment. If we believe the tree could be on city property, or if the decision is too close for us to call, please contact the appropriate City of Saskatoon officials for an definitive answer.

If it's agreed that the tree in question poses a hazard to the buildings around it, or is a threat to the safety of the general public, you can submit a formal request to have the it dealt with by whatever means the city sees fit. Often times they will hire tree contractors like us to take care of it. 

HOW MUCH DO TREE REMOVAL Services COST?

There is no easy, cut and dry answer to this often asked question. The prices vary greatly, and some of the main factors we look at when determining our rates are; job complexity, type of equipment needed, and security perimeters.
​
  • Equipment needs - On small and some medium sized jobs, it's possible only a chainsaw is needed. For larger trees, the equipment needed could range from ropes and ladders all the way to lifts and basket trucks. We always fault on the side of safety, so sometimes it may seem like overkill to have a basket truck to do the job, but if it ensures safety, it's worth it. 
​
  • Complexity Of Job - Will the tree need topping before the general removal can begin? Do the large sections of limbs need to be roped and rigged to avoid damaging nearby property? These things and more need to be considered when the tree contractor gives a quote, and can be one of the largest factors when determining the price.
​
  • Perimeter Securing - There are lots of times when the tree in question is on a busy street, or in a congested area of a residential neighbourhood. This requires more preparation, and could mean contacting the city to aid in rerouting traffic, contacting other homeowners about moving vehicles, and applying for permits. The more time that is needed before a removal can start is a consideration in the quote you will receive.

So what is the cost of removing a tree in Saskatoon? The only real way of knowing is by getting Saskatoon Tree Service Pros a call.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO REMOVE A TREE?

You've probably heard that there is a 'best time of year' to have your trees worked on. This tends to be true with tree pruning and tree trimming services, however, with tree removal in Saskatoon it doesn't make a difference. We are available all seasons of the year, so don't be worried if you didn't get your tree dealt with in the summertime. 

If you prefer to have your tree maintenance done in the winter, this offers unique benefits. While the tree is dormant, it's much easier to work on and safely remove. Having a frozen ground is also a bonus, as there is far less chances of damaging any landscaping you may have in the nearby surroundings.

Keep in mind, if for whatever reason the tree has become a safety liability or is presenting a real risk to your property, don't let time of year take precedence over safety. When in doubt, or for a second opinion, always seek the advice of a local arborist.

what you should know when hiring an arborist

  • What kind of insurance do they have? ​Getting the proper answer to this question is very important. Being a property owner in Canada, the work being carried out on your home or yard is legally your responsibility. The truest way to keep your neighbours and everyone else safe is to make sure that your chosen tree service company has the coverage they’re supposed to. As well as having an insurance package specific to an arborist, most tree companies will also carry Commercial General Liability (also referred to as CBL) insurance. By having both of these policies, you can be sure that any damage to your property, your neighbours property, or even personal injury will have the proper coverage. We highly recommend this be part of your initial company screening process, as it can save a potentially horrible experience should things not go as planned.
  • ​​Know who you hire – Tree service providers come in many forms. Someone who has a chainsaw won’t have the skills of a tree surgeon, but a tree surgeon also isn’t as qualified as an arborist. Being aware of these differences and learning what they mean to the job you require them for will play an important role in who to hire and how much to pay. For smaller jobs where all the work can be completed from the ground, a simple chainsaw qualification will usually suffice. A tree surgeon in Saskatoon will have moderate experience in assessing the health of your tree, climbing trees, and working at heights. They will also know best practices when it comes to pruning and felling safely, all the while minimizing damage to the tree itself. An arborist, lastly, is the most experienced professional you can hire. They will have the highest qualifications, usually having studied arboriculture and will know all the ins and outs of disease, infestation, and overall health of any tree in Saskatoon.
  • Do They Have The Proper Qualifications? Without an overriding body governing the trade of arboriculture and tree surgery, companies can easily exaggerate what training and certifications they really have. By asking a few simple questions, you can determine on your own the extent of their training. On a national level, there are a few distinguishable certifications one can get. The most common one is a Certified Arborist through ISA (International Society of Consulting Arborists). Another multifaceted training program is through Arboriculture Canada Training and Education schools. Having an idea of what your tree service provider is capable of prior to the commencement of the job can play a key role in ensuring success.
  • Are They Using The Proper Trimming And Pruning Techniques? Some of the biggest mistakes novice arborists make are topping, or using spikes to climb the tree for the purpose of pruning. The practice of tree topping is very uncommon among professionals, and like its name suggests, is the act of simply cutting the top off of a tree. This does take care of any height problems the tree may have been giving you, however it comes at the price of disease and often times death. Instead, pruning and trimming should be done regularly to encourage growth in the most suitable areas. This can take a few years to be done properly on very overgrown trees, but highly recommended for the longevity of the tree. In the times where the tree service specialist needs to climb in order to get trim the highest branches, be aware of anyone using boots with spikes. This is a big no no, as it leads to open wounds on the tree making it more susceptible to disease and infestations. Although much easier to climb while wearing cleats, a much better alternative is to use a bucket truck instead.
  • Do You Know Who Owns The Tree? Generally it's easy to distinguish ownership of trees based on property and fence lines, but sometimes the lines can become a little blurred when limbs are over hanging, or roots start to surface in other areas. A good rule of thumb though, is that any tree in the boulevards or other sides of public walkways belong to the city. These are the types of plants you don't want to make the mistake of removing or altering in any way, as the city of Saskatoon strictly enforces damages. Fines can range as high as $10,000, so if a tree you suspect to be the cities is causing you problems, start by contacting a city official. If you're looking for a quick assessment before trudging down the road of dealing with city services, most local arborists and tree surgeons will have a firm understanding of the rules and regulations, and should be able to give you a good idea on whether it's advisable to do any kind of trimming or removal.​
  • How Long Should The Job Take? Often times talking about the duration of a job can be overlooked, however this is something that should be made clear from the start. Common sense usually is best when determining how long it should take for a tree to be removed in Saskatoon, so when a so called 'tree professional' gives a very short or very long amount of time, you can almost be sure they are an amatuer. There are however, times and circumstances where delays can occur. In very stormy weather, it's not safe to work near big trees with large limbs. Other times, wildlife previously unknown about could dwell in a nook or cranny, which could lead to calling proper authorities to deal with. A qualified arborist in Saskatoon will know best, so let them help you with determining when and how to take care of that tree.
  • Safety Standards - What sets different tree service companies apart in this industry is the attention to safety. With so many companies to choose from, it's more important than ever to make sure you know their safety record and what kinds of procedures are in place to ensure both your property and your family remain safe while the job is getting done. A proper pre job assessment is a key indicator of safety on the job, as this is the time when things like barricading, positioning, rigging and slinging and other important things are discussed and planned for the big day. On top of planning, we put a lot of emphasis on wearing the proper ppe, and depending on the job can include helmets, face shields, cut proof pants, harnesses and steel toed boots. We strive to make every job we do a safe one, and welcome you to ask us about our policies and procedures. So no matter what kind of tree service you require, you can count on us to do it safely.
