Silver Fern Tree's services provided by owner Marek was absolutely exceptional. A large 40+ year old evergreen with a steep lean (technically challenging!) and a diseased poplar were removed and cleaned up from my SW Calgary property.
Today they provided the service, kept me informed of what they were doing, made a few suggestions going forward with the trees on my property. You are getting a Professional Arborist who really knows his profession. Cleanup was efficient and immaculate. Very thrilled with this Company.
I called Silver Fern to do another job on my property, 40 poplars around house and power line. As before work was done safely and professionally by Marek and his team and now I can sleep easy knowing no trees will fall on power lines.
We are so happy with the work from Silver Fern Tree Services! Marek has removed several trees and stumps from our new home and he always goes above and beyond. His work is impeccable and he is knowledgeable and helpful with advice for caring for every variety of tree.
I got a few quotes from a number of arborists around Calgary to cut down a diseased towering aspen in our backyard but I went with Silver Fern because the owner-operator, Marek, was incredibly friendly, straightforward and reasonable.
We had Marek come out to do some trimming and had 3 trees planted, Marek is professional, courteous, understanding, and is just a quality person.
Marek and his mate did an amazing job cleaning up the deadwood from our very old ash tree and cutting the lower skirt from the bottom of our fern tree. Not only were they good at what they do but they were very accommodating of any additional requests we had and are very polite and nice people.
We would like to convey our sincere thanks to Marek and his team for the exceptional work they did trimming our trees yesterday. We really appreciated Marek’s integrity, level of professionalism and knowledge.
Marek and his team did an amazing job removing a large pine tree from the backyard of my rental property and an apple tree from my own backyard. Marek was very friendly, professional, and efficient throughout the process. Definitely recommend!
I contacted Silver Fern Tree Services to prune a crabapple tree in my backyard. Not only was Marek so friendly and easy to deal with but he was incredibly knowledgeable. He runs his own small business and 10/10, I’d recommend him to anyone.
Zero mess to deal with afterwards which is nice. Your attention to detail is appreciated, thanks again.

Yes. Marek is an ISA certified arborist, certified by the International Society of Arboriculture, with 11 years of experience in tree care. Silver Fern Tree Services is licensed and insured. That matters with tree work, where one bad cut or dropped limb can do serious damage to a house.
Yes. Estimates are free with no obligation. Marek looks at the trees, explains what he recommends and how the work would be done, and gives you a clear price. There is a discount for customers local to Cochrane and a seasonal 15% spring discount, so ask about both when you book.
Yes. Regular hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and emergency calls are taken on weekends and after hours. A tree down on a fence or roof, a split trunk or a hanging limb after a storm is exactly what after-hours calls are for. If a tree is touching a power line, stay 10 metres back and call 911.
Yes. Branches are chipped, wood is cut into rounds, and the yard is cleaned up before the truck leaves. Several Google reviews mention the cleanup, with words like immaculate and zero mess. The estimate spells out exactly what is included, so you know what the yard will look like when the job is done.
Often it can be saved. Crown reduction, deadwood removal and structural pruning fix a lot of what people assume is a removal job. As an ISA certified arborist, Marek gives you an honest read on which one you are looking at before anything is cut. Removal is for trees that are dead, failing, unsafe or simply in the wrong place.
Call, text or send the form. A photo of the tree always helps.
