Expertise Sets ArborCare® Apart

At ArborCare®, we plant most of our trees by hand. We dig the majority of holes the old-fashioned way —with shovels and elbow grease — to avoid damaging your property and the tree. Hand-digging allows us to work in tight spaces and plant trees in areas that equipment can’t access.

With extensive knowledge about Calgary climate and soil types, our arborists understand what trees will grow best and how and where to plant them. With our expertise in tree species, soil types and climate, we can choose trees that grow healthy and strong without needing fertilizers, excess water and other maintenance.

Types of Trees

Our arborists plant native tree species and use local nurseries, so the trees are already hardened to the Calgary climate. Some species that do well in Calgary include:

• Prairie spire green ash 
• Sutherland caragana
• Dropmore Linden
• Ohio buckeye
• Brandon elm

Coniferous trees include white spruce, Colorado spruce and Siberian larch, which have needles that grow all year. Other fruit trees that blossom beautifully in Calgary include:

• Navigator ornamental pear
• Starlite flowering crabapple
• Gladiator flowering crabapple

Position shade trees in the southwest corner of your house. This way, the tree will shade your home during the afternoons in summer. Native species are more drought tolerant and require less maintenance. Shop on our website to find trees and other ArborCare® products.
