Poplars grow fast and big, and their weak wood and aggressive roots make them one of Edmonton's most common removals. We remove poplars safely across the city.
Poplars, including balsam poplars and hybrids, grow fast and give quick shade, but they come with problems. The wood is weak and prone to dropping limbs, the trees are relatively short-lived, and the roots are aggressive, invading lawns, pipes and foundations and sending up suckers everywhere.
For all those reasons, poplars are one of the trees we are most often asked to remove. We take them down safely, grind the stumps, and can advise on dealing with the suckering that follows.
