Overview

An honest look before any cutting

A consultation is a walk around the property with an ISA certified arborist. Marek looks at the health and structure of each tree you are worried about, explains what he sees, and tells you what can wait, what needs doing and what the options are.

The estimate is free and there is no obligation. Customers mention that the work was explained clearly at the estimate, so you know how the job will be done before you decide.

I used Silver Fern for large tree removal around house. Work was done safely and professionally by Marek and his team. Great value for the service provided and would recommend using them for any tree removal needs. They provided free quote and explained what and how they would go about the work.

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.

Questions

Common questions about consultations and estimates

Are your estimates free?

Yes. Estimates are free with no obligation. Marek comes out, looks at the trees and the access, explains what he would recommend and how the work would be done, and gives you a price. You can take your time to decide, and there is no pressure to book on the spot.

What does an ISA certified arborist do?

An ISA certified arborist has passed the International Society of Arboriculture exam on tree biology, identification, diagnosis, pruning, safety and tree care practices, and keeps the certification current through ongoing education. It separates people trained in tree care from people who simply own a chainsaw.

How do I know if a tree is dangerous?

Warning signs include a new or increasing lean, cracks or splits in the trunk, large dead branches, cavities, fungus or mushrooms at the base, and roots lifting on one side. A tree can also look healthy while hiding decay inside, like the trunk in the photo on this page. If in doubt, have it looked at.
