Embarking on the journey of tree planting in Edmonton is an art and a science that we execute with precision and care. It requires an understanding of the local climate and native soil types, and ensuring the roots of trees receive the right nourishment to grow into healthy, beautiful trees. Our tree planters in Edmonton have all of this knowledge. Our professionals will provide expert advice on maintaining and sustaining the growth of the trees being planted. Edmonton is lucky when it comes to soil type. Rather than sandy soil (which can be difficult to plant trees in), the soil has a clay loam texture. Clay loam soil is a mixture of clay, silt, and sand particles. Here's a glimpse into the meticulous process for tree planting Edmonton can depend on:
We are lucky to live in a region with numerous types of trees. From willows and mountain ashes to evergreen shrubs and larches, Edmonton is home to many beautiful and diverse trees. However, it is crucial to understand the local hardiness zone before tree planting. Edmonton falls within the classification of Zone 4a category, which means the trees planted will be able to withstand the bitter brutality of winter temperatures—if you choose a suitable tree. In Edmonton, you can never go wrong planting these types of trees:
You may not realize it, but when you invest in tree planting in Edmonton, you're investing in a greener future for generations to come. It is true that one single tree can sustain and give life to many different types of insects that all contribute to our ecosystem. At Trusty Tree Services, our tree planters acknowledge the power of tree planting and what it can do for the future history of our city, as well as for the planet as a whole. Tree planting is not only vital for making your property pretty, but also for preserving biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance in our local environment.
Have you ever seen an old tree that has collapsed? Either due to extreme weather conditions like wind or lightning, or is the tree too old to support itself? If you have, you most likely have witnessed the fallen trunk acting as a host for new trees to grow and flourish. The additional trees that grow on top of the host trunk contribute to the regeneration of the ecosystem, providing a habitat for various organisms. This natural process ensures the continuation of green spaces but also demonstrates the interconnectedness of plant life and how, just by investing in one service for tree planting, Edmonton homeowners contribute to a more sustainable city.

Planting a new tree on your Edmonton property has many benefits beyond just enhancing your landscape's aesthetics. Here are some compelling reasons to add new trees to your outdoor space:
Planting new trees is an investment in both the past and the future. It bridges the gap between what was and what can be, offering a powerful narrative of resilience and growth. Whether filling the void left by a departed tree or wanting a transformation, planting new trees allows you to sculpt your outdoor space with the beauty of nature's palette.
When trees need to be removed from your property due to reasons like disease, storm damage, or construction, there's a void that's left behind – not just visually but ecologically as well. Planting new trees serves as a meaningful solution to address this gap. It's more than just replacing what was lost; it's about contributing to the ongoing health of your ecosystem. New trees offer renewal opportunities, providing habitat, shade, and the promise of cleaner air. By strategically selecting tree species that thrive in Edmonton's climate, you're restoring what was and fostering a sense of continuity and resilience in the face of change.
Imagine your landscape as a blank canvas, waiting to be adorned with vibrant green strokes. Introducing new trees to your outdoor space is like adding new colours to an ever-changing masterpiece. As the seasons shift, so does the landscape—from spring's fresh blossoms to summer's lush canopy. Trees have a remarkable ability to transform the atmosphere of your property. They create focal points, frame views, and imbue your space with serenity. The beauty of tree planting in Edmonton lies in the anticipation of growth—watching saplings evolve into majestic guardians that stand as a testament to time. Each tree becomes a living memory, growing alongside your experiences and becoming a part of your family's story.
In Edmonton, there are generally two best seasons for tree planting. Either in spring, from April to June, or in fall, from September to October. The best time for tree planting also varies depending on the species, the region's soil type, and the tree's growing stock. For example, you should never plant seedlings in the fall in Edmonton because of the clay loam texture of the soil. Clay soil becomes vulnerable to frost as the winter months are mere weeks away. However, if you're planting an older, more established tree in the fall, the tree should be able to acclimate healthily since its roots are semi-established.
Dense evergreens like spruce or pine, placed in rows where wind and snow drifts are most likely to affect, will help you reduce snow drifting on your property and break up the wind. So, the answer is yes, tree planting in Edmonton can help you with those things. The trick is to place your windbreaks perpendicular to prevent stronger winds that could easily slip past your defences.
Our team will be glad to ensure that you get the proper trees and protection from strong winds that threaten your property and snow drifts that make it impossible to shovel or put pressure on things like your fences, shrubs, and other areas of your home.
Tree spacing is important, but several factors contribute to proper spacing, including the species of tree and the shade area. Large shade trees will need to be planted around 20-30 feet apart so that they can have enough room to grow. However, smaller ornamental trees don't have a large shade problem and can be spaced closer.
The City of Edmonton recommends at least 4-7 meters or 13-23 feet between boulevard trees. Our team also recommends that you leave a lot of space for mature canopy spread and root growth. Without proper spacing, you could face issues with crowding and competition, which could lead to trees that are impacted by death and disease.
The urban soil in Edmonton is often compacted and has a lack of organic matter. There is also the chance that the soil can have construction debris, which can impact root development and the way your plants and trees get water.
Did you know that soil compaction can reduce root growth by 50% in most urban Canadian environments? This means that when you're planting trees or any other plants, you will want to mix in compost and consider aeration and soil amendment services, especially in older neighbourhoods.
We all know how frustrating pests and animals can be to your landscape. Protecting young trees from pests and animals will ensure their growth and longevity; the question is how to do so. The best way to protect your tree from pesky animals and pests that could take over and put it at risk is to use tree guards and install cloth around the base. Trunk wraps and physical guards deter critters from biting at your trunk and lower branches.
You can also consider repellents to deter animals like deer, rabbits, and rodents that want to make your trees bark as a snack. Make sure that if you place any tree guards, you remove them come spring, so that moisture doesn't build up and that you can encourage healthy trunk growth. Our team will be happy to provide you with any necessary car instructions during your tree planting in Edmonton.
No, not on private property, but you will need one if you are planning to plant trees on City boulevards or road right-of-ways. Check out the City of Edmonton’s tree regulations documents online or reach out to their friendly customer service team. You may need to consult with your local HOA team, if applicable, to ensure your neighbourhood approves of the landscaping project.
Hardy species that are well adapted to cold winters and clay or loam soils, such as spruce, maple, larch, and even elm, in certain areas. Edmonton is typically mapped around Plant Hardiness Zone 3b–4a, so choose a tree variety labelled to withstand Zone 3 for optimal growth and cold resistance. We can provide reliable recommendations and suggestions for the type of tree species to plant in Edmonton if you still aren’t sure what species to choose from. Depending on the specific neighbourhood you live in, the soil conditions of your yard, and your personal preferences, we can help you choose the perfect tree species.
No, you should avoid planting tall or fast-growing trees directly under overhead power lines. Municipal and utility guidelines generally recommend planting trees of low mature height near power lines to reduce outage risk. Learn more about tree planting near power lines and Edmonton bylaws by checking out the City of Edmonton’s website.
Of course! Rows of trees planted perpendicular to prevailing winter winds can shield your home from wind and snow drifts. Get a natural windbreak with our meticulous tree planting. Edmonton homeowners should place the trees on the north side of their property, since most strong winter winds come from that direction.
Unlike plants and grass, a newly planted tree does not require frequent watering for the first few years. Whenever you water your newly planted tree, focus on the root zone, then give it plenty of time to partially dry out before watering again. You will likely only need to water your newly planted tree in Edmonton once a week during its establishment phase.
Yes, mulching is extremely beneficial to conserve soil moisture and temperature levels. It’s best to opt for wood chip mulch about 5–8 cm deep. Make sure to keep the mulch a few centimetres away from the trunk flare to prevent rot and rodent damage.
Most certainly! Cut back on your HVAC bills all year-round with our expert tree planting. Edmonton experts at Trusty Tree Services recommend strategically planted trees to act as a windbreak in the winter and a shade from the sun in the summer.
Yes, there are local regulations to follow for your tree planting. Edmonton homeowners must:
The Great White North experiences brutal winter months. We understand that you may be concerned about the health of your young tree during the winter months, but there are many ways to prevent any winter damage from occurring, including:

Left us a star review
Colton and Jared both arrived ahead of schedule and did an excellent job trimming our maple and Plum trees. They also help trim our neighbors tree with permission so both trees have space to grow. Since the City of Edmonton stop picking up Christmas tree's they help shred mines so i don't have to make a run to the Eco centre.
They clear our whole complex at Ravine Estates and do such an amazing job. Thank you so much for working on Christmas eve!!!!
Had a crew out on a very chilly day to do a huge job of removing 8 trees from my yard and pruning a couple others. Guys were upbeat, respectful and did awesome work. Everyone I've told about the job is pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the cost was for the work. Highly recommended. Will be using them again in the spring for more work.
Jared, Steve, and Colton did some major pruning in my large backyard in late November. This involved fruit trees, evergreens, and multiple large and small trees along my fence line. This team was courteous and professional throughout the process. They worked efficiently and the cost was readable for the work. They asked me to come out and check their work before they left. I was impressed - especially having experienced some inconsistent and less responsive service from a few other companies over the years. I will definitely have Trusty Tree back for future work!
Staff arrived on time, were professional and did an awesome job. We will use them again and definitely recommend.
The crew from Trusty Tree recently completed some work at our house. They shaped some of our out of control trees and removed 2 trees that were diseased or dying. They were prompt, polite and very knowledgeable. They double checked the required work before starting and answered our questions as they came up. They did a great job and ensured we were satisfied before they left. I would recommend them or have them back should we require any further trimming or removal.
I called Trusty Tree Service to help with a willow tree limb that had fallen landing on our backyard fence. Keegan came out the same day to assess. Jared, Cayden and Keegan came early the next morning and dealt with the fallen branch. The tree was deemed compromised which resulted in the need to cut down the rest of the tree. Mathew came today and ground up the stump. Both crews were terrific. Jared, Cayden and Keegan were efficient and careful taking the tree down. It was in a fairly restrictive location. All the debris was cleaned up and hauled away. Mathew also did a great job working in a tight area to grind up the stump. I highly recommend Trusty Tree Services. They responded quickly and did an excellent job.
We had a great experience dealing with Trusty Tree Services! Colton and Jared arrived exactly as scheduled, were very friendly and knowledgeable and did a fantastic job! We will definitely be using this company again in the future!
Mike and Carter came by on time and did a fantastic job! nice and efficient service would recommend! they went above and beyond. 110% satisfied.
I was very pleased with the job done. All the trees were trimmed as needed and the two young fellows were courteous and professional. Many thanks!
We had our big trees trimmed and also 2 trees removed because of encroachment issues. Sarah was our initial contact and she was wonderfully pleasant and very approachable. Her knowledge and guidance were a contributing factor in our choice. A few days later we had Mat Luchkow remove the remaining 2 tree stumps and we were really happy with the results. He is friendly, professional and very conscious of not causing any damage with the heavy duty equipment that is required. His maneuvering between bushes, gates and decking required skill so 5 STARS to him and thank you.
I was very pleased with the service that was provided. Kolton took his time to explain what and why things needed to be done. Mike and Brandon did an excellent job of doing the work, and leaving the worksite clean. I would recommend this company to anyone !
Matt did an excellent job. Quick and efficient!!we would definitely use Trusty tree services again.
I had this crew to trim my front lilac bush…mountain ash …mugo pine tree. While the boys were here I got to snip off 4 branches from one pine trees . The crew did a great job and the lead hand answered a few of my questions and I got to pick his knowledge what would look good aesthetically . They arrived at my home at 8:30 am and 11:00 they done . They cleaned up the mess they made and chipped all the branches . I had 3 companies to give me estimates and they were in the middle. Plus I read reviews on google about this company. I would hire them again ….Thank you trusty tree.
Mike and his crew came over to prune 3 trees. They arrived early and finished the job in just a few hours. Mike checked in with us a few times during the process to show progress, discuss what was done and some future considerations, while keeping in mind the health of the trees. The finished product was exactly what we wanted. All of the trees were pruned to the property line very nicely and clean up was done throughout. Would highly recommend Trusty Trees for pruning trees, especially if you get Mike and his crew.
We had Trusty Tree Services come to our condo complex today to do the fall trimming/pruning of the numerous shrubs in our complex. Brandon & Mitch did an excellent job of trimming and were very meticulous in cleaning up the debris left behind. They went over and above in trimming some of the larger lilac shrubs (trees actually!) to make them look much more "cared for". Thanks guys!
Mike and Mitch were very friendly and their work was very professional. Our trees and shrubs look great!
Trimmed a big spruce tree along our driveway today did an fantastic job both guys were both polite and courtesy swept and cleaned up everything after they done would definitely recommend this company 😀
I had Trusty Tree trim and clean up my two giant spruce trees in the front and I am so happy with the job they did. I was kinda anxious at first because I love the trees and cutting their limbs off is permanent but I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Sarah, Jared and Kayden were all awesome and knowledgeable and they asked the right questions about exactly what I wanted with the trees. As the experts, they made honest recommendations and didn't try to upsell me on things I didn't need which I appreciated. Super happy with the job and I would recommend them to anyone who needs tree services!
Brandon and Matt did an amazing job of taking down my tree in my front yard. They were incredibly friendly and they were very quick to take down the tree and clean up the mess. I wholeheartedly recommend this company. On September 24, Matt did a superb job in removing and grinding down the remaining stump and roots.
Satisfied with job Gerot & Grayson work with removal of dead branches of my weeping birch.
the guys were here on time.....actually a little early which was great. In no time the trees were taken down and put thru the chopper and the yard was raked and cleaned. They did a wonderful job and we will have them back for more work in the spring
Jared and Billicent came and removed a couple of trees and helped prune some large pines and cherry. Mathew came to finish grinding the roots. I found the staff very knowledgeable, passionate and competant in what they do. They were easy to book and deal with. They did a great job and left everything clean and taken care of. I would definitely refer them to others.
From start to finish, Trusty Tree were amazing to work with. Kolton was accurate for the number of hours it took to complete the job. Hal and Brandon are an amazing crew to work with. Fast and efficient. They did a great job of pruning out trees and left my property clean as they found. Highly recommend them!
Sarah from Trusty Tree was prompt, professional, very easy to talk to. We enjoyed our consultation visit and appreciated her expert advice. The tree planting team headed by Matthew were quick, professional, and answered many questions. We appreciated considerations such as the profile of the tree, bracing, mulching, and the clean up afterward. All around friendly fellows and great service. Highly recommended.
Jared and his team from Trusty Tree Service were amazing! Thank you, Jared! Our trees have never looked so good on our acreage! You gave us advice like it was your own property but you were also, more than happy to find out what we wanted and needed done as well. The end product - was excellent! Thanks Jared and thanks to Trusty Tree for a job well done! I would highly recommend Trusty Tree to anyone who needs tree work done. Sincerely, Beth
Halcyon, Brandon and Chelsea came yesterday and removed 17 trees from our yard. They were excellent, polite, and left the site very clean afterwards. They also completed the work within 48hrs of me getting and approving the quote.I would absolutely recommend Trusty Tree
Matthew and his crew did a great job for us. Would definitely use their services again.
Great job of removing 3 columnar aspens from a difficult spot in our yard. The Trusty Tree folks are always on time, competent, knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. Thanks!
FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW YOUR COMPANY AND YOUR STAFF HAVE EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. THE TREES LOOK AMAZING. YOUR STAFF WERE A PLEASURE TO WOORK WITH , PLEASE SEND THESE GUYS BACK NEXT YEAR. EVEN OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE COMPLIMENTED THE WAY THE TREES LOOK. THANKS AGAIN, SEE YOU NEXT YEAR. KERRY AND JOHN SAMUELSON
Brandon and Jared did a great job! Both were pleasant to deal with and very professional!
Very prompt response to my request for tree removal. Crew arrived at time booked. Cleanup was very, very good. Great group to have work done by.
I had a precarious tree that was threatening to come down on my fence. Hal and Grayson did professional work to safely take down this and a few other trees in less than the estimated time.
Way to go Jerrod, Brandon and Chelsey. Wonderful team. Excellent job to all three of you. Will use Trusty Trees in the future.
Trusty Tree in my experience always provides timely, professional and expert services. The most recent job with Hal and Brandon was no exception. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with TT crews...always good value for money.
We were completely satisfied with the Tree cutting and chipping work of the Trusty Tree crew of Jared and Chelsey. Job well done!
Clear and consistent communication, helpful feedback and advice, prompt in responding to all questions. My neighbours also commented on how efficient the arborists were in completing the tasks. Would highly recommend.
Team arrived I on time, were polite, worked quietly and efficiently p. They cleaned yard when finished.
Jared and Chelsea were great they were prompt, quick and cleaned up all the debris as promised. Job well done. Thank you
We saw Trusty Tree at the home show and reached out 6 weeks later. Their quote was the lowest (by far) of 3 companies, the tree removal was very quick, professional, and clean up was exceptional. Stump grinding the following week was the same. Would recommend for sure! All wood was left, and I'm sure that the amount of birch we split and piled up is worth more than we paid to have the dead tree taken down!
I needed 5 spruce trees removed from my back yard.. The crews from Trusty Tree were exceptional! They were on time, fast, efficient, and they did a great job of cleanup behind them. I would use this company again in a heartbeat!
Great service and friendly staff. Sarah was very informative with her estimates and when time came for tree removal Jared and Greyson were very thorough and took the time to make sure we were happy with everything before taking off.
Mike and his crew came to our house and they dropped a 60 foot spruce tree between two trailers beside a fence right out onto the road. Did an excellent job missing everything and the clean job was great. Job was done in absolutely no time.
