Tree Planting & Tree Removal
Tree Maintenance
Tree & Shrub Pruning
Our arborists have the experience and training required to provide the right kind of pruning for your trees. All trees and shrubs are unique, as is their setting in the urban environment. While many of the fundamentals of tree pruning remain the same no matter the species, almost all species have different characteristics that must be addressed.
Pre & Post Construction Care
Construction-related damage, both above and below ground, remains one of the biggest causes of stress and death of mature trees in our city. Having a dedicated Pre-Construction Plan is the best way to protect your trees from the damaging effects of heavy construction. We at Alliance Tree Care have solutions for most health issues related to construction damage.
Soil Health Care Plans
The majority of tree & shrub health issues are directly related to poor soil conditions in which they live. Urban soils are wrought with issues including compaction, salt and chemical contamination, poor drainage, and a desperate lack of beneficial microbiology. We have environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions for all of these issues and more.
Insect & Disease Control
Cankerworms
Cankerworms are common in Manitoba and come in two types: Spring and Fall. Both look alike and feed on new spring leaves, but Spring Cankerworms lay eggs after the first thaw, while Fall Cankerworms lay eggs after the first frost. You’ll notice small holes in leaves from mid to late May, and trees may be stripped if numbers are high. By early to mid-June, mature larvae drop to the ground to pupate. We control them using BTK (Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki) while larvae are feeding; it targets only these pests and is safe for other insects and pollinators.
Forest Tent Caterpillars
Forest Tent Caterpillar outbreaks occur about every 15 years and last around 3 years, but these cycles are temporary. Adult moths are tan with bands, while the blue or brown larvae have white spots and yellow side lines. The larvae hatch at bud break, often gathering in groups on trunks and branches, and feed on new leaves for four to six weeks, sometimes stripping trees bare before moving to understory plants or even building walls. When ready to pupate, they build large cocoons in the branches of trees and shrubs. We control them with BTK (Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki), which is safe for other insects and only works while larvae are feeding.
Eco Tea
Eco Tea is essential to any Plant Health Care program. Teaming with live, beneficial microbes, Eco Tea enhances soil structure, increases the uptake of plant-available nutrients, and outcompetes detrimental bacteria and fungi. It does not leach away in the rain like traditional salt-based fertilizers. Contact us or visit https://eco-tea.ca for more info.
Emergency Services
24/7 Emergency Response
Alliance Tree Care offers 24 hour emergency services, 7 days a week. Not only will we be there when you absolutely need us, we will deal with the situation safely and efficiently. With our decades of experience, we are committed to ensuring the response causes no further damage to your property than was already done.
Hazard Assessments
Our arborists not only protect the health of your trees, but protect the people and property that share its space. Having your trees assessed for structural integrity is the responsibility of every property owner, and should be done by our experienced, ISA certified arborists. Our staff understand the unique characteristics and potential risks associated with each individual tree species. Tree failure can often be avoided, and you can save thousands of dollars in tree services, property damage, and insurance costs by having a detailed assessment done by our Hazard Assessment experts.
Arborist Reports
We have ISA Certified and TRAQ (Tree Risk Assessment Qualified) arborists to assess and report on the species, size, health, condition and management needs of the trees on your property. If you are a developer that needs a preservation plan during and after construction, or a homeowner that wants to ensure your trees are healthy and safe for your family, Alliance Tree Care has the answers!
