Calgary Tree Trimming

Based on the characteristics of their leaves, trees in Calgary, Canada, can be grouped into coniferous trees and deciduous trees. Even if you’re not familiar with these terms, you’re probably familiar with the trees themselves.

It’s important to know what kind of trees are on your property so that you can plan for seasonal landscaping needs and other tree care.

Coniferous trees are the group that contains evergreens, softwoods, or needle-leaved trees. These types of trees will retain their leaves for two or more years. You probably have a few of these on or around your property. Pine and spruce trees are plentiful types of coniferous trees in Canada.

Deciduous trees and shrubs are also known as broadleaf trees or shrubs. Deciduous trees are known as hardwoods. They include types like Aspen, Poplar, and Maple. All of the trees and shrubs in this group will drop their leaves in the autumn.

Because they aren’t native or simply the fittest for the local or city environment, some tree types are more likely to give you problems than others. If you have these in your yard or even near your home, consider calling Tree Removal Calgary to have a look: 

• Norway Maple: The shallow roots of this invasive tree species make it difficult for surrounding plants to continue growing, thus killing off native saplings. The shallow system also makes it vulnerable to extreme weather- it’s much likelier than other species to drop large branches.
• Silver Maple: These fast-growing trees often have over-extended limbs making them weak and dangerous. Because they’re often used as decoration, they don’t have the wind protection they would have in a forest or natural location making them especially vulnerable to falling during storms. 
• Siberian Elm: This is another tree that grows so quickly it's almost like a weed. It’s often planted on city streets and can be found all over Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Like the maples, this makes it vulnerable to over-extended limbs and an overall weak structure.

An arborist is trained in all matters of tree health and safety. If you have a tree that’s newly damaged, overgrown, sickly, or poses a threat, then an arborist should conduct a site visit and determine the best course of action. An arborist may even decide that trimming a tree is the best choice for the tree’s health.

Much like an arborist, a tree trimmer can help maintain the health of your trees and provide necessary tree care. If you would like a tree trimmed for aesthetic reasons, a tree trimmer is more than capable of doing the job.
