Think you have a compromised tree that may need cabling and bracing?

Were your trees compromised over the winter months from the weight of snow and ice, high winds or even just natural causes? There are strategies to support trees if removal isn’t an option, for example, tree cabling and bracing solutions.

Tree cabling and bracing is preventative technique to reduce stress, prevent movement between limbs, and to generally support trees with poor or weak structure. Weak limbs and structure are not always obvious though, so it’s likely best to call in the professionals.

As local arborists, we have the ability to assess your trees to identify weak spots and examine bark and co-dominant stems which could be signs that your tree needs cabling and bracing.

At Aerial Tree Services our goal is to help strengthen tree structure to improve your tree’s longevity and reduce the safety risk of falling limbs or fallen trees. If you have a tree that looks suspicious, give us a shout at 403-293-3416. We’d be happy to provide a FREE assessment and estimate.

Not All Hedges Are Created Equal

Hedges come in many sizes and many varieties. They can add a structured accent to your property that can improve curb appeal and add significant value to your property.

Hedges can also be used to define property areas such as sidewalks or property lines essentially becoming a fence between you and your neighbour. Heavier growth hedges can be used as a windbreak or even privacy screening which is great for areas like outdoor patios, BBQ areas or hot tubs.

All hedges grow and do need pruning to keep them from sprawling all over your property. Proper pruning keeps hedges lively and healthy and encourages new growth.

At Aerial Tree Services we specialize in hedge pruning and maintenance of every size and type. We often have requests for artistic shaping which provides a unique look and makes a property stand out from the rest!

Aerial Tree Services Takes Down a 100′ Poplar Tree

For many reasons it may be necessary to remove a tree from your property. When taking down a 100′ poplar tree you definitely need to know what your doing. The potential for property damage is huge so an experienced arborist is critical.

When pruning or removing large trees, arborists typically have to work at height. This means being precariously attached to the top of huge trees so safety has to be paramount. Whether residential or commercial, our team can assess the situation and properly remove your tree, keeping the site, adjacent trees, and your home or building structures safe from damage.

Aerial Tree Services has been serving Calgary and surrounding area with year-round tree care for over 32 years. We have the training and expertise, and updated, well-maintained equipment to get every job – large or small – done right.

Call 403-293-3416 at your convenience to arrange your free estimate to discuss any tree services you may require. We’re here and ready to be of service.

Reasons to remove dead trees

Safety Hazard – first and foremost, a large dead tree on your property can be a safety hazard to your family and property. Dead trees are more easily blown over in wind storms. This can cause damage to soffits and larger trees can do structural damage to shingles and roof support systems. Rotting or brittle limbs can snap off and break windows or harm passers by.

Financial Burden – falling trees may also carry a financial burden. Not just for removal but if the tree damages a neighbour’s property or home you may be liable for the repair to their property as well as the removal.

Disease – oftentimes trees die from disease. The sooner you remove the dead tree the better the chance that the disease will not spread to other trees on your property. A common Canadian disease is Dutch Elm disease. Dutch Elm disease is a fungal disease of elms. The fungus is spread by a beetle whose larvae burrow under the outer bark. The damage eventually kills the tree and can spread to surrounding like trees.

Aesthetically Challenged – last but not least, dead trees are definitely not aesthetically pleasing. This is not an immediate removal issue but for the appearance of your property, especially if you are trying to sell your home, a dead tree is usually a concern, if not a deal breaker.

If you have a dead tree that you need safely removed give us a call at 403-293-3416 for immediate professional service.

3 good reasons to prune during dormancy

Winter is actually a good time to prune trees as most plants go dormant, meaning that they are no longer actively growing during this period. Here are a few reasons to prune during this time of the season:

  • Dormant pruning causes less stress or shock to the trees as it gives trees time to heal from the pruning cuts allowing for better recovery and hearty new growth in the spring
  • Pruning when all the leaves have fallen away it makes it easier to see the true tree shape and the best places to prune to improve the health and safety of the trees
  • Pruning in the winter reduces susceptibility to, and the spread of, disease since parasites, insects and bacteria are also dormant making it less likely that disease is transmitted during pruning
