Tree And Shrub Services in Calgary
At A Green Future Calgary Landscaper, we understand that planting a tree or shrub is more than just placing it in the ground. It's about thoughtful planning, meticulous preparation, and ensuring healthy growth. Our experts in Calgary are here to guide you through the entire process, from preparation to planting, making your green vision a reality.
Choosing Trees and Shrubs for Your Landscape
Landscaping with trees and shrubs adds not only beauty but also functionality to your outdoor space. Our professionals help you select trees and shrubs that serve various purposes, including acting as windbreaks, providing privacy, defining spaces with low hedges, offering shade to reduce energy costs, and creating habitats for wildlife. Additionally, trees and shrubs contribute to cleaner air and oxygen production.
Differences Between Trees and Shrubs
Understanding the differences is crucial when choosing between a tree and a shrub. While shrubs have multiple stems growing from ground level, trees have a single trunk and a distinct crown of leaves. Factors like size, surroundings, sunlight, soil conditions, hardiness, and intended functions guide our recommendations.
Things to Consider When Choosing Your Tree or Shrub
- Size: Consider height and width.
- Surroundings: Account for overhead wires, buildings, and neighboring plants.
- Sunlight: Determine the cumulative hours of sunlight the location receives.
- Soil Conditions: Assess whether the area is wet or dry and the soil's acidity.
- Hardiness: Ensure the plant is suitable for your area or zone.
- Function: Define the purpose, whether shade, focal point, or barrier.
- Year-Round Appeal: Decide between deciduous or evergreen, and flowering or non-flowering.
- Maintenance: Consider the time and effort for care, including clean-up and trimming.
- Leaf Characteristics: Choose based on personal aesthetic preferences.
- Watering Needs: Understand the tree or shrub's water requirements.
