Time to take that tree down?

Mature trees can improve your property, but if too close to the main windows in your home it can really make the interior dark. This was the case with a recent client – one of their evergreens was taking over the front yard, casting a lot of darkness and they wanted to brighten up their living space.

Removing tall, mature trees is a process and depends on many factors, specifically the size and condition of the tree. Our team can help assess the situation and properly remove your tree, keeping the site, adjacent trees, and your building safe from damage.

It’s best to cut trees down in segments, removing branches from bottom to top, if too tall to take down with one cut. The images below show the removal process we went through on our recent project. You can see the dramatic effect removing this tree had on the property’s exterior and can imagine all the light that now floods in through the front window.

If you have a tree you’re considering removing contact Aerial Tree Services. We offer the expertise and equipment required to get the job done safely and in a timely manner. Give us a shout for more information at 403-293-3416.

Do your spruce trees need a little TLC?!

Pruning and shaping your spruce trees can really enhance the curb appeal of your home

Many folks have spruce trees they love and let them grow without special help or intervention. But other property owners don’t want them growing naturally as they mature, overtaking their yard. They simply prefer a more manicured look that contains the size and fullness.

Check out the images below of one of one of our residential spruce tree manicuring projects.

Knocking Down the Poplars

An arborist’s life is not always an easy one. Especially when you have to take down a tree the size of this poplar with literally no where for it to fall.

Aerial Tree Services is expert in controlling how branches and the main trunk fall and can remove even the most precariously perched or positioned tree.

Give as a call or email for more information on how to remove an inconveniently placed tree.

Removing Dead Trees

There are many reasons for removing dead trees.

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 a 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.

Falling trees may also carry a financial burden. Not just for removal but if the tree damages a neighbours property or home you may be liable for the repair to their property as well as the removal.

Many times 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.

Last but not least dead trees are definitely not aesthetically pleasing. This is not an immediate removal issue but for the look 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 403-293-3416 for immediate professional service.

This May long weekend will look a little different

With the Victoria Day Weekend approaching, there are still many public health restrictions in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and many businesses and services will be closed.

Unfortunately it won’t be May long weekend cottage life and camping as usual either as all National and Alberta parks are closed to visitors and Parks Canada is recommending to ‘stay home’. If you are planning on heading out, be sure to check your local area rules and regulations beforehand.

Even though our weekend dreams may be dashed, it’s important to remember that these circumstances aren’t forever. There will be many more long weekends ahead to enjoy when safe to do so, and with everyone working together to get through this, hopefully that time isn’t in the too distant future. Let’s do our part and make the best of our uncertain times.

In the meantime, it’s going to be a gorgeous summer-like weekend and the perfect time to engage in activities that help you relax and decompress. When back to business, if you’re considering tree care services, from tree planting, removal and stump grinding, to shrub & hedge trimming, pruning and general maintenance, for your residential and/or commercial property, give us a call at 403-293-3416. We’ll get back to you shortly to discuss how we can help boost your curb appeal.

Have a safe and relaxing long weekend.
