Holistic Tree & Landscape Consultations in Cochrane, Alberta
“Most people don’t realize that tree and landscape issues are rarely isolated problems—they’re connected to soil health, planting methods, climate stress, and overall ecosystem balance.”
Many trees in Cochrane and the foothills struggle because they are non-native, planted in solitary, and forced to survive in urban environments that lack the natural support systems found in forests. When trees decline due to pests, disease, or poor structure, the root cause is often deeper than what meets the eye.
A consultation with Cochrane Tree Care is an opportunity to understand your landscape holistically and make informed, long-term decisions for your trees, garden, and property. Kurt Stenberg, Regenerative Arborist and owner, offers a level of expertise beyond conventional arborists, specializing in permaculture, soil regeneration, and ecosystem-based tree care.

What Makes This Different from a Regular Arborist Consultation?
Most arborists focus only on individual trees, offering reactive solutions like sprays, injections, or removals. At Cochrane Tree Care, we take a big-picture approach by considering soil life, fungal networks, plant interactions, and regenerative practices that mimic nature instead of fighting against it.
Common Issues We Address:
✔ Sick & declining trees – Understand why non-native and ornamental trees struggle in our harsh Chinook climate and what to do about it.
✔ Soil health & regeneration – Fix compacted, nutrient-deficient soil to create a thriving underground ecosystem.
✔ Improper nursery & planting methods – Many issues start at the root! Learn why conventional nursery trees often struggle from the start and how to correct these problems.
✔ Water retention & drainage – Adjust irrigation strategies to improve soil moisture without overwatering.
✔ Insect & disease management – Natural solutions that address the cause rather than just treating symptoms.
✔ Urban tree survival strategies – Learn how trees interact with each other and how to mimic forest ecosystems in a city setting.
✔ Companion planting & biodiversity – Use nitrogen-fixing plants, dynamic accumulators, and mycorrhizal fungi to support tree health.
