Tree Pruning, “dead-wooding”, and trimming of branches, are very extensive jobs depending on their height. We employ tree climbers who use safety harnesses and safety ropes to ensure a clean and safe tree removal. Our team works to provide the best tree maintenance for your trees. We will maintain what we can and recommend tree removals as required.
Tree Removal services are often required when a tree is under environmental stress, diseased, poorly placed, or threatening damage or for re-landscaping purposes. We also help source young trees and help you plant them. If you wish to remove a tree and plant a new one, we offer a stump removal or stump grinding service, to eliminate stumps and roots under the ground. Our pricing for tree removal varies from tree to tree depending on the haul away of materials and debris, as well as the difficulty in taking down the tree in question. If you have branches fall in a storm of wind, rain or lighting, we will do our best to save your tree and keep everyone on the ground safe from hazard.
Firewood is a very heavy part of the trees, and can significantly ad cost and labour to your tree removal job. If you or someone you know would like to keep the firewood onsite, this will always be reflected in our pricing. We upon occasion do have firewood available for pickup or delivery, and we can be hired to help cut wood to size if need be. Firewood delivery times and load sizes vary, and we hold no guarantees we will have supply.
Seasonal Pruning
MSJD SERVICES prunes trees throughout the year in order to train their growth, clean up damage and debris, and address disease.
Winter Pruning
Often, pruning done in the winter time be of a higher extent as the trees incur less shock when in a dormant state. Our arborists also know to excersise caution with certain flowering trees such as the Birch, which should primarily be pruned in the late summer.
Spring and Summer Pruning
Flowering trees are not meant to be pruned until after flowering has come and gone. It is a great time to work on non flowering trees and clean them up for the summer months
Autumn Pruning/Fall Cleanups
Along with collective leaves and fallen branches prior to winter, removing dead or diseased branches is a great idea as it helps mitigate the natural process and keeps debris clean. A great time to address your trees that are over grown and in need of attention. Most trees can under go fairly extensive pruning and the Elm pruning season begins come autumn until spring as well.
Black Knot Control
Black knot is a disease that affects Schubert and Mayday trees are common trees in Calgary that are affected by this fungus. It is imperative that it be controlled in order to prolong the life of the tree and keep the spreading at bay.
More than half to three quarters of a tree consumed by black knot becomes a candidate for removal.
Tree Removals
Sometimes trees need to be removed because they are too old and frail, in the way, or have significant damage from high winds and storms. If you require a tree removal our arborists all practice safe falling techniques to ensure a damage and injury free process. All debris and firewood are removed from site unless the owner wishes to keep the wood.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding is the practice of removing the stump and connected roots up to three feet under ground so that new landscaping or trees may replace the stump. It also ensures no suckering or regrowth will occur.
Hedges
We prune and shape hedges for aesthetics and we also can treat them for diseases such as oyster shell (although usually it is best to cut the hedge down for rejuvination. We work on carriganna, lilac, cotoni astors and other small hedges and shrubs to enhance the look of your yards and garden areas while keeping up on the health of these plants
Storm Damage, Power Line and Home Clearance
Sometimes trees just need specific pruning to address a specific problem or concern such as damage or potential damage to the tree, a building/home or power lines. We can assist in training and shaping your trees away from such objects.
Deadwooding
Spruce trees should be deadwooded every so often to keep them looking clean and to alleviate a future mess on the ground. Other trees require that dead branches be removed before they hollow out and fall down to the ground.
Branch Chipping and Haul Away
We use a wood chipper to maximize our load capacity when removing branches. If you need branches hauled from previous pruning or cleaning up after a storm, we can do this anytime.
Tree Planting
Our team is happy to help consult about planting trees and shrubs. We connect you with suppliers and help with suggestions about age, price points and feasibility of what to plant and where. We also plant hedges and ornamental shrubs and flowers.
Mulching
Mulch makes for a great bed underneath a tree. If you would like bulk mulch and weed stopper cloth put underneath your trees, we do the labour delivery and help select fine quality mulches from several suppliers in the region. Consult our team about other landscaping and lawn care endeavors.
