Trees are one of the most valuable assets on any property. They provide shade, beauty, and environmental benefits, but they also require thoughtful management to stay healthy and safe. Whether you’re a homeowner caring for a beloved backyard maple, a developer planning a new subdivision, or a property manager overseeing a large estate, professional arboricultural consulting ensures your trees thrive for decades.

At Calgary Tree Care, our ISA Certified Arborists provide expert consulting and detailed reports across Calgary. With years of experience in the city’s unique climate and soil conditions, we help you make confident, informed decisions about your landscape.

What Arborist Consulting Includes

When you book a consultation with Calgary Tree Care, you receive more than general advice—you get a science-based plan designed to protect your trees, property, and investment. Our arborist consulting services include:

  • Tree preservation plans for construction sites and developments – Protecting mature trees during building projects prevents unnecessary damage and saves you the cost of replacement.

  • Species selection recommendations for Calgary’s climate – Not all trees thrive in Southern Alberta’s weather. We guide you toward species suited to our soils, freeze–thaw cycles, and water availability.

  • Comprehensive site assessments – We evaluate soil health, drainage patterns, root zones, and spacing to ensure trees are planted in the best possible conditions.

  • Long-term care plans and maintenance schedules – Proper pruning, watering, and monitoring prevent costly issues later on.

  • Tree inventory and mapping – For large properties, HOAs, or institutions, we create detailed maps to track tree health and plan proactive maintenance.

Arborist Reports for Permits & Compliance

Many Calgary homeowners and businesses don’t realize that arborist reports are often required for development, bylaw compliance, and insurance purposes. Our team provides clear, detailed reports recognized by municipalities, insurers, and legal professionals.

We prepare:

  • Written arborist reports for development applications – Required for projects near existing trees.

  • Tree risk assessments for insurance and safety planning – Documenting the likelihood of failure and potential hazards.

  • Compliance documentation with tree protection bylaws – Ensuring your project avoids fines or stop-work orders.

  • Reports for disputes, sales, or legal purposes – Independent expert input can be crucial for resolving property conflicts.

These reports not only satisfy requirements but also provide peace of mind, knowing your trees have been professionally evaluated.

Why Professional Consulting Matters

While trees may appear resilient, their health and stability depend on countless hidden factors—soil compaction, root structure, storm damage, and even pests invisible to the untrained eye. Professional arborist consulting matters because it helps you:

  • Avoid costly mistakes – Planting the wrong species or damaging roots during construction can shorten a tree’s life or lead to dangerous failures.

  • Protect long-term property value – Mature trees increase home values by 10–20%. Preserving them is an investment in your future.

  • Reduce risks and liability – Expert assessments document safety risks, protecting you in case of accidents or disputes.

  • Support sustainable landscapes – Our plans balance tree health with development needs, ensuring Calgary’s urban forest continues to thrive.
