“They did an amazing job leaving no mess.”

We had Terry, Don, Breann, Kol come to our residence to remove a very large 100 year old Elm tree that was diseased. They did an amazing job leaving no mess. They had to remove my temporary fence for access and re-built it that same day without any issues. Very Professional, would highly recommend.

“He was friendly, courteous, and answered all my questions.”

This morning they were out front hard at work removing a large, dead tree. I spoke with a member of the crew, Cam, he was friendly, courteous, and answered all my questions. It's a rare sight nowadays to see a crew of yellow vests and everyone working.

Robert W, Edmonton

“Great service! They got it all done even though the tree needed a lot of work. Thanks again!”

Had the team come out and take care of pruning my giant Ash trees. Great service! They got it all done even though the tree needed a lot of work. Thanks again!

Urban Forestry Management Services

Our services are designed to help communities grow stronger, safer, and greener—through expert care, strategic planning, and science-backed solutions.

Pest & Disease Management

We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to control harmful insects, diseases, and invasive species. Our approach combines monitoring, lifecycle analysis, and targeted treatments to protect city trees while minimising environmental impact. It's proactive care that keeps your urban forest healthy without over-relying on chemicals.

Dutch Elm Disease (DED) and Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Management

We offer full-service Dutch Elm Disease (DED) management, including pruning, removals, injections, and replanting. Our certified arborists monitor elm populations and respond quickly to outbreaks, helping municipalities prevent the rapid spread of this devastating disease while preserving the integrity of local canopies.

Contract Preparation & Supervision

Our consulting arborists help municipalities plan, prepare, and oversee tree care contracts. We ensure clarity between stakeholders, manage expectations, and deliver detailed reports so projects stay on schedule, on budget, and in compliance with arboricultural best practices from planting to pruning and preservation.

Tree Inventory Management

Using advanced GIS software and data collection tools, we assess, map, and monitor your urban forest. Our inventories give you insights into species health, risk levels, and long-term trends, helping municipalities make smarter decisions for future planting, maintenance, and budgeting.

Urban Forestry Planning

We create long-term tree care strategies tailored to your city’s goals. From species selection to planting programs, our urban forestry plans focus on sustainability, safety, and resilience—ensuring your tree canopy thrives for generations to come.

Managing Your Urban Forest, In the Office or On the Ground

At Green Drop Trees, we make urban forest management seamless by digitizing your tree inventory using advanced GIS and remote sensing technologies.

Our system allows you to visualize tree values through industry-standard Tree Appraisal methods and assess environmental benefits such as carbon sequestration using i-Tree tools—making it easier to communicate the value of your urban forest to the public.
