Tree and Shrub Pruning
Properly cared for trees and shrubs can add significant value to your property. We prune according to industry standards and our staff is thoroughly trained in the proper methods of pruning. Whether you have a ninety foot poplar or a yard full of fruit trees we can help you keep them healthy for years to come.

Ornamental Shaping
We can help you add a formal look to your yard. Shrubs and small trees can be contained or shaped to keep
them smaller or keep fruit on the tree at a reachable height.

Tree Removal
Whether or not a tree should be taken out is a tough decision and should be viewed as a last resort. We can
help to inform you of all the circumstances before making this decision. Tree removal can be dangerous. We
take precautions that are necessary to guard against property damage and injury. Once a tree is removed,
the trunk wood can be left behind for firewood or we can haul it away for a small charge.

Stump Grinding
After a tree is removed a stump will remain. We are able to grind out the stump and surface roots to a depth of
18" to 22" allowing for re-planting or sodding over the spot where the old tree was. Removing the stump is also
very effective in reducing the amount of suckering after the tree is removed because the main storage spot for
energy in the tree is located in and around the stump.

Tree Planting
In the event that you must have a tree removed, we at Adair Tree Care strongly advocate planting a new one in
its place. We can provide you with a healthy young tree and plant it for you. At this time we offer this service only
for potted trees as we do not have the equipment required to plant larger trees. If you require or desire a larger
tree we can recommend a reputable company that provides that service. If you are planning to plant a tree yourself
here is an article with recommended procedures. Planting Tips Article.

Tree Fertilizer
Our deep root tree fertilization program usually consists of 2 applications per year, one in the spring and one in
the fall. We use a custom fertilizer blend designed specifically for the Calgary area. The water based solution is
injected below the soil surface to the tree's roots in a form that reduces the chance of root burn and encourages
uniform uptake to the tree. Some candidates for fertilization include:

Establishing young trees
Trees with poor colour due to a nutrient deficiency
Trees in poor soil conditions

Mechanical Tree Supports
When we get severe weather or heavy wet snow trees can often crack or break at their weakest points. These
spots can sometimes be identified and corrected through pruning but often go unnoticed until failure occurs.
Often cracked stems can be saved through a mechanical support system where a bolt is run through the attachment
point and a cable is placed higher in the tree to support the stem. Combined with appropriate pruning to reduce load
on the affected stem, trees have the best chance of survival.

Consultations / Diagnosis
Have you just moved into a new house? Don't know where to start with the yard? We can help! Identifying and
evaluating the existing trees is the first step in the landscaping process. Determining the health of trees and identifying
problems allows you to make good decisions about your landscape plan. If your trees are looking unhealthy or signs of
insects or disease are visible let us know, we would be happy to assist you in finding a solution.
