Tree Species
The first step in a tree risk assessment is to determine what type of tree you have on your property. Different species of trees may determine the types of tree service you’ll require. In Edmonton, certain trees may require different types of pruning or care.
Some trees can or should only be pruned during specific times of year. Most trees benefit from pruning during the winter / early spring when they are dormant. Elm trees can only be pruned from October 1st till March 31st to prevent any possible spread of DED (Dutch Elm Disease). Elm trees may be removed at any time during the year. Stump grinding must be performed and the wood chipped and disposed of properly. Clients can not keep any elm wood as per Alberta legislation.
Does your tree have a fungal infection? The most common fungal infection seen in the Edmonton area is black knot. This can be found on most Prunus family trees. 9 times out of 10 if you have a Prunus family tree such as a chokecherry or mayday tree it most likely has the black knot fungus growing on its limbs. This infection can be mitigated by pruning your tree but can never truly be cured. If the tree is pruned often and the black knot mitigated your tree can survive and thrive for years to come. The goal is to continuously prune out the fungi before it reaches the trunk of the tree.
Every species of tree comes with its own risk. Whether the risk is infection or structural, no matter how many trees you have, our professional arborists will always do what’s best for you and your trees on your property.
Healthy trees
Great looking may be the focal point of your Edmonton property. It’s the first thing you’ll notice when looking at a property. A beautiful lush canopy that provides shade, color and curb appeal can make your property more appealing for yourself, future tenants and even buyers should you be looking to sell. A good looking mature tree is worth its weight in dollars and can increase your property value.
Our tree services will help you maintain your tree’s health for the long run. With a proper tree pruning schedule you’ll not only have the best looking trees on the block, you’ll save money! Pruning every 2-4 years depending on the species will help your trees maintain that lush shaped canopy and help them fight off disease, infection and even premature removal.
