Tree Planting

Professional Tree Planting in Calgary & Southern Alberta

Full-service planting: digging, premium soils & fertilizers, backfilling, and cleanup. Machine and hand planting for any property in Southern Alberta.

What We Do

Full-Service Tree Planting

Alberta Tree Planting offers full-service tree and shrub planting — digging the hole, planting with supplied soils, fertilizers and additives, and backfilling around the tree. We clean up after the job is complete, and can remove excess soil from the site on request.

All we need from you: utility locations marked before any digging, and the planting spots marked so our crew knows exactly where you want each tree. Skid steer installation requires a minimum of 8 ft of machine access into your yard. We currently plant large basketed trees by machine only — small potted trees can be hand-planted.

Don't Wait Months to Get Your Trees Planted

Our tree planting services are affordable and fast. Most garden centres make you wait months — we get your trees in the ground as quickly as possible once your locates are done. And getting a quote is free.

Expert Tips

Plant It Right the First Time

Proper Spring Digging

Trees aren’t meant to be moved. Spring digging must follow industry standards or trees suffer transplant shock. Research your nursery/supplier before buying to make sure they follow proper digging, baling, and handling procedures.

Proper Tree Selection

Match the species to the site. A spruce won’t thrive in a low wet area where a willow would. Choose trees zoned for your area — we help with this. The right tree in the right spot means less maintenance and a healthier landscape for decades.

Proper Planting Depth

Feeder roots need surface oxygen. Plant too deep and you suffocate the tree. The root flare should sit visible above the soil line. We make sure every tree is planted at the correct depth for long-term health.

Proper Watering & Maintenance

New trees need deep, consistent watering to establish — without overwatering. We provide a care guide so you know exactly how much and how often to water your new trees through their first seasons.

Trees That Thrive

Popular Tree Species for Alberta

Spruce

Hardy evergreen, great for windbreaks and privacy.

Aspen

Fast-growing native with beautiful fall colour.

Maple

Stunning foliage; choose cold-hardy varieties.

Willow

Thrives in wet, low-lying areas with lots of water.

Avoid the Pitfalls

Common Mistakes We Help You Avoid

The #1 killer of new trees. We set the root flare at the correct height every time.

Trees need room to grow. We plan spacing for mature size, not just the day of planting.

A tree that can’t handle Alberta winters won’t last. We match species to your hardiness zone.

Rocky or compacted soil needs amendment. We bring the right soils and additives for strong root growth.

Too little or too much water both cause stress. We give you a clear watering schedule.

We require marked utilities before digging — it’s safe, legal, and prevents costly damage.
