(Newswire.net — March 26, 2014) Edmonton, AB — The first day of spring brought sub-zero temperatures and high winds in Edmonton, which was the cause of tree canopy damage citywide. Most of the larger limbs and fallen debris from our urban forest has been too large for homeowners to manage.
Tree trimming and removal crews have been busier than usual in March and many companies have unpacked their heavy machinery typically saved for warmer weather clean-up.
“We’ve had our chipper out eight times this year and our cutting crew twice as much. It has been a good year for fireplaces.” said Arthur Corneilson, a local certified arborist with Tree Care Edmonton. “Jokes aside, we want to make sure that our urban plants are healthy and the fallen debris out of the way.”
There are a few more days of winter climate and winds left in 2014, and professionals are recommending civilians to watch for signs of unstable tree canopies above. If you have any damaged or fallen trees please contact your local arborist or tree removal company. There have been few instances where power lines and service wires were severed by falling tree limbs. The top companies that specialize in tree removal in Edmonton will come fully insured.
