The guys were here today to prune and clean up two trees. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and hard working. Very happy with the work and their quote was competitive. Would have them back in future and highly recommend.

Before You Book Tree Work

How much will my tree work cost?

The price depends on the service, tree size and condition, access, and the amount of material being handled. Request a free estimate for your job so you can review the scope and price before booking.

Can you help me decide between pruning and removal?

Yes. If you’re unsure what work is needed, we can assess the tree and explain the options. Our recommendation considers its condition, location, and what you want to achieve on your property.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Calgary?

Before arranging tree removal, confirm who owns the tree and whether any City requirements apply. The City of Calgary tree map is a useful starting point. If ownership is unclear, contact 311 before work begins.

Are you locally owned and operated?

Yes. Stubborn Stumps is a locally owned, family-run tree service company serving Calgary and nearby communities.
