Hardy Bear Tree Service (rebranded from Woodland Tree Service Corp) provides professional residential and commercial tree care in St. Albert, Edmonton and surrounding areas, with clean finishes and safety-first operations.
We handle the trees you can't ignore, from difficult removals and stump grinding to wildfire resilience clearing.
Dead, diseased, hazardous, or simply in the wrong spot, we remove trees of all sizes safely and efficiently. Difficult access is no problem; our team is equipped for tight lots, steep terrain, and close proximity to structures. Once it's down, we grind the stump flush so your yard is clean and usable again.
Healthy trees need the right cuts at the right time. We assess tree health, then prune to extend the life of your tree and create an improved appearance, whether that means opening up a canopy, removing dead and diseased branches or clearing from nearby structures.
For homeowners in wildfire risk zones, we remove or reduce the trees and undergrowth in proximity to your home and outbuildings to create a safer space.
Hardy Bear Tree Services is a proud, local and family-owned business rooted right here in the St. Albert area, serving homeowners, acreages, lake lots, and commercial properties with safety-first tree care.
Hardy Bear Tree Services is a local and family-owned business rooted in the St. Albert area.
Our story began 15 years ago when Daryl and his young family decided to tackle two overgrown trees in the yard: a massive front-yard spruce and a backyard laurel leaf that were taking over the play space.
What started as a simple family project quickly drew a crowd; neighbors gathered to watch as the trees were carefully removed. That day sparked something bigger: turning our hands-on experience into a trusted local tree service where every customer is treated like a neighbor.
Today, we bring the same care, safety, and neighborly approach to every job, whether it's tree removal, stump grinding, pruning, or tree and underbrush clearing to protect properties from wildfire risk. As a family business, we value trust, transparency, and creating a safe yard space.
