Calgary tree care is a little tricky. Calgary trees have to live in our unforgiving and extreme climate. I get the best results taking care of trees in Calgary with kind practices that keep the tree’s best interests in mind.

Almost all the trees that grow here are not native, so tree maintenance needs to make some allowances. A strong respect for the tree’s leaves (keeping a lot of leaf mass) is the best kind of tree care. Follow that up with lots of water during hot spells and you have done two of the most important things you can do for your tree.

Tree health care is divided into pruning, especially dead-wooding, and watering. Everything else is not tree care. Heavy pruning is not tree care, topping is not tree care, ignoring trees as they limp through a terrible drought is not tree care. And the ignorant overuse of fertilizer is not tree care.

It is kind, caring, loving, respecting, to behave in such a way so that everything you do is always beneficial to the tree.

I have climbed, worked with, and been close to trees my whole life. I remember my first day working as a professional arborist. That day I learned a truth, that I was born to work with trees, and my life’s path unrolled before me. It still feels amazing to be able to help trees and the people who live with them. It’s been over 30 years since that day. I have done a lot of consultations.

In a nutshell, follow my methods and advice and you WILL have healthy trees. I have refined my practice over decades; I can give you healthy thriving trees. I can't do this alone—you live there and control the tree’s environment.

I can fit a tree care program individually to your property and you will see a difference easily within a season.

Insects and diseases can also be a powerful issue, once these are dealt with, and the tree gets what it needs, you WILL have healthy trees. Simply stated, any tree in Calgary that gets what IT NEEDS, will be healthy, pest- and disease-free.

All of nature’s living things have problems, parasites, and diseases. These are mostly seen in the weak and the unhealthy. Keep your trees properly cared for, and they reap the benefits, healthy trees with no problems.
