About Us

LE Tree Care started as a branch of the property maintenance services division of its parent company LE Construction and Maintenance.  Over the years, it has grown and flourished, led by certified arborist Jeremiah Erhardt’s (shown teaching about trees in the classroom above) passion for promoting healthy trees.

Today, LE Tree Care is trusted by organizations like the City of Calgary, the province of Alberta, MEC, Colliers International, and others.

Our "Healthy" Focus

While many tree companies specialize in tree removals (and some even have “removals” in their name), LE Tree Care believes in caring for trees instead of removing them.

Healthy trees are more resilient to pests and disease, live longer, and provide more benefits to the environment.

Don’t get us wrong, we are certified, highly trained climbers and tree fallers who are skilled at tree removal, but our passion for saving trees has fueled the deep desire to be experts at everything needed for healthy and sustainable tree growth. We love saving trees and work to further the growth and development of the urban forest.

This expert knowledge is what sets LE Tree Care apart from other tree companies and is the motivation behind our tree planting services, tree and shrub maintenance services, and tree repair services. View our complete list of services here.

What Our Customers Say

5/5
Had a wonderful experience with LE Tree Care. Jeremiah is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about trees and the environment. He and his crew showed up on time and worked straight out for the entire day. Two trees trimmed, and two trees cut down. The wood was stacked neatly and the yard left immaculate. Very responsible team I would recommend and hire again with no second thoughts! Excellent work. – Jackie C.
Jeremiah provided professional advice and service when pruning my very old Ornamental Crabapple and my two hedges this spring. The Crab came out lovely this year and looks so much better from the pruning and shaping. He took the hedges right down to the ground as they were full of blight and they have come back beautifully and healthy. It was a pleasure to do business with LE Tree Care! -Lorna W.
Whenever I have customers with my landscaping company who need any tree work I always call LE Tree Care. Jeremiah and his team are dependable and professional. I have known Jeremiah for years and trust that he will do an excellent job and take care of my clients needs. I would recommend them to anyone for residential or commercial tree work! -Andrew S.
Our property required the removal and replacement of a number of unsightly trees. Jeremiah was fantastic! He not only provided the best price for their removal, he made a number of suggestions for their replacement. His knowledge of the surrounding area’s diversity played a large role in our tree replacement decision. We were so impressed, we sought counsel in modifying our 45 foot garden. From start to finish, Jeremiah has ensured a seamless process. Very professional and I highly recommend. Thank you again to the entire LE Tree Care team! -Michael O.
I have run multiple construction projects that required tree work and always recommend Jeremiah and the team at LE Tree. They work well with our crews and the homeowners on planning and integrating the vegetation into the landscape around our builds. -Jeff O.
The Tree Care guys were great and well worth the cost! They quickly understood exactly what I needed, even when I did not. Very professional with obvious expertise and a dedication to safety. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to my friends. -Evan M.
LE construction has worked on my property on three different occasions. Jeremiah has come out and given me a quote for the job to be done and there was no extras. They have also done jobs with no quotes and I found them to be very fair in the final bill. The crew was very prompt in doing their work and cleanup was fantastic. I would highly recommend LE Construction for looking after your property. – Phil L
The team came in to prune and take care of some tree maintenance for us. They were professional, courteous, on time and responsive to requests. Jeremiah was so knowledgeable about the trees and recommended maintenance and care. Would highly recommend them! – Terra S.
Exceptionally professional and excellent work. We were thoroughly impressed with Jeremiah’s installation – both quality of installation and quality of product, as well as his advice for proper care of the tree moving forward. Thanks Calgary LE Tree Care! – Tim K.

We Love Trees!

Trees cycle nutrients, sequester carbon, clean the air, provide wildlife habitat, mitigate water flow, prevent erosion, provide shade, reduce the heat island effect, and make our world a more beautiful place. Yay trees!

LE Tree Care has planted over 26,500 trees in Calgary to date.
