Privacy Made Easy: Your Guide to Low Maintenance Privacy Trees

Low Maintenance Privacy Trees: Your Green Solution with Trusty Tree Services

In a world where privacy is increasingly cherished, creating a secluded and serene outdoor space has never been more important. Privacy trees offer the perfect solution, allowing you to enjoy your property without the prying eyes of neighbours or unwanted distractions. If you're seeking a green privacy barrier without the high maintenance demands, Trusty Tree Services in Edmonton has the perfect solution. We'll explore the world of low maintenance privacy trees and how Trusty Tree Services can help you achieve the peaceful oasis you desire.

The Benefits of Low Maintenance Privacy Trees

Privacy trees are more than just green screens; they come with a wide range of advantages that extend far beyond the boundaries of your property:

Seclusion

Privacy trees create a natural barrier, ensuring your outdoor space remains hidden from public view. This seclusion offers more than just physical privacy; it provides you with a sense of tranquility and peacefulness. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee on your patio or hosting a family gathering, the comfort of knowing that you are shielded from prying eyes adds immeasurable value to your daily life.

Aesthetic Beauty

Beyond their primary function of providing privacy, these trees are nature's ornaments that enhance the visual appeal of your landscape. With their lush greenery and, in some cases, colourful blooms, privacy trees add a touch of natural elegance to your property. They transform your outdoor space into a haven of beauty, creating an inviting and serene environment for you and your loved ones to enjoy.

Environmental Impact

Low maintenance privacy trees are not just a benefit for you but for the environment as well. They contribute to a healthier ecosystem by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air and releasing oxygen, helping to combat climate change and improving the overall air quality in your surroundings. In addition, these trees become a habitat for local wildlife, supporting birds, insects, and other creatures. By fostering biodiversity, privacy trees play an important role in maintaining the delicate balance of local ecosystems.

Property Value

A well-planned and maintained privacy tree arrangement can significantly increase the value of your property. The curb appeal of a lush, green landscape with strategically planted trees is undeniable. Prospective buyers are often willing to pay a premium for the privacy and beauty these trees provide. Additionally, in real estate, privacy trees are considered an attractive feature that can set your property apart in a competitive market, making your home more appealing to potential buyers.

By investing in privacy trees, you not only enjoy seclusion and aesthetic beauty but also contribute to a healthier environment and enhance the value of your property. It's a win-win situation that showcases the multifaceted benefits these green guardians offer to your outdoor living space.

Low Maintenance Trees For Privacy

When considering low maintenance privacy trees, you need a species that doesn't require constant attention. There is a wide variety of fast-growing tree options, and here are some perfect choices that thrive in Edmonton's range of climates:

  • Green Giant Arborvitae (Thuja Standishii x plicata 'Green Giant'): These ideal trees live up to their name as fast-growing privacy trees with impressive height, conical shape, and dark green foliage in ideal conditions. They are naturally resistant to many common tree diseases, are drought tolerant, and provide partial shade, making them a perfect low-maintenance type of tree.
  • Swiss Stone Pine (Pinus cembra): This dramatic tree is hardy and well-suited to the Edmonton climate and its harsh winters. It offers a year-round screening of greenery and evergreen leaves and produces edible pine nuts as an added bonus at its mature height. Though they are palatable for deer, their branches are quite resistant to wind.
  • Common Purple Lilac (Syringa vulgaris): If you prefer a deciduous tree option, the Common Purple Lilac provides privacy hedges during the late spring/early summer growing season. It's known for its fragrant flowers and emerald green leaves that love the sunlight. However, the Common Purple Lilac requires minimal maintenance.
  • Columnar Blue Spruce (Picea pungens 'Fastigiata'): This evergreen tree is known for its striking blue-green evergreen needles, dense branching, and pyramidal shape. This majestic tree is an ideal choice for tight spaces, stands up to strong winds, and demands little maintenance.
  • Fast-Growing Hedges (bushes for privacy with dense foliage): While privacy trees are an excellent choice for creating natural barriers, dense hedges offer an equally attractive and low maintenance alternative. Deciduous hedges are essentially a dense row of shrubs or small trees that can be formed in a columnar shape with regular pruning to provide seclusion and aesthetic beauty.

We had a crew from Trusty tree services to come and remove 6, 40 foot aspen trees. They did an awesome job. They were very knowledgeable and very considerate of our property and our neighbours property. They had our yard and neighbours yards totally cleaned up when they were finished. I would highly recommend Trusty Tree Services

We had a crew from Trusty Tree Services trim three trees on our property a few weeks ago, sorry for the late review. Couldn't be happier with the whole process. From the estimate to the final clean up, everything went very well. I contacted other companies for estimates, didn't even get a call back. Thanks again Trusty Tree for a great job!

Trusty Tree Services came out and pruned our Amur Cherry tree in Fort Saskatchewan and did a great job. The technicians were knowledgeable and gave me tips on how to better take care of our tree. The technicians were friendly and polite and cleaned up before they left. I would definitely recommend Trusty Tree Service!

We had an amazing experience with Trusty Tree. They gave a prompt estimate for some very difficult trees in our campground. They arrived on time and began work immediately. Their expertise shone through as they brought down the trees on point! Friendly, informative, professional and outstanding workmanship. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Shout out to Colton, Joe and Adrian - great work!

We had Trusty Tree out this year to shape and thin 4 trees and 3 Mugo Pine shrubs. I was impressed with a quick appt for the quote and then quick response for booking. Our trees were pruned earlier in the season as this was the recommended timeframe, and the Mugo Pine shrubs pruned later in the spring after the new growth appeared. I'm pleased with the crew that came out, they were polite, professional and experienced. We are happy with how our trees and shrubs look and feel the price was fair. We would definitely recommend Trusty Tree and will have them back in the future. Thanks for taking extra time with us to talk about proper pruning too!

I am a new widow and my yard work is so overwhelming, I called Trusty tree to come over and give me a quote. Because my husband who has slways been in love with taking great care of our home,has passed I am here to do it alone.Trusty tree are the most professional people I dealt with..And they actually had the most professional quote,they took pictures of my Tree to elaborate on what needed to be done,and explained why everything had to be done in a certain way...after 3 other companies coming out I realized that Trusty Trees quote was extremely fair. So when the Trusty Tree crew arrived to prune my beloved tree, they were ready, and really understood the sentimental value of my tree that my late husband and I used to sit under every night. The crew members Joe and Shane collaborated beautifully brought down the required amount of my tree..They had a fantastic chipper on site and they also cleaned up the yard so beautifully after the cutting was done...If anyone reads this review,please understand how much that tree meant to me and my late husband. Joe and Shane gave it a loving and caring trim, and they where not only hard working but very informative of the process,and very just great guys,they included their sense of humor to make the trimming process easier on me. THEY were so compasionate and understanding . I thank them for that..... If you are thinking of pruning your gorgeous beloved tree, Trusty Tree has got be your only choice. THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST!!! My name is Christine and if anyone wants to contact me about what a great job this crew did..please do!!!

This was the second time I've used this company for mature tree removal. This time 4 fully grown columnar Aspen trees located close to fencing, a deck and between 2 houses were successfully removed with no damage to the aforementioned structures but also nearby concrete curbing. Work was done as scheduled, quickly and neatly. Very satisfied with the work.

I look for three things when it comes to service: 1) friendly attitude, 2) timeliness, and 3) efficiency. The crew were excellent in all three scores. It was great to see a clean truck, maintained gear, and use of personal protective equipment as well. This is a great choice for tree care. Done in less than an hour!!!

When Trevor came to quote my yard at my new house, he helped me identify all the trees and shrubs, and clearly explained what work needed to be done. When the day came to do the work, Kolton and Carl were friendly and also walked me through what they were doing and why (I'm interested in these things and was asking questions). They did their best to save my cherry that is infected with black knot. Looking forward to having them come back to continue tree maintenance in the future.

We had a tree in our yard that had died a few years earlier and wasn’t sure who to call. We called Sunstar who recommended Trusty Tree to us. Trevor came out to look at our tree. We didn’t realize we had another Tree that was diseased. He sent us a quote very quickly. He was able to book a time for tree removal, stump grinding, as well as planting our new trees. The project was done in the timeline provided. The crews showed up on time or earlier than expected which was amazing! They were very professional. I would hire Trusty Tree again!
