Default Place to get trees planted?

With the sod vs seed thread, I have found this place to be a Calgary do it yourself'ers GOLD MINE... So I thought I'd ask this one given that spring will be here (in July at this rate):

I am looking to get ~10 columnar poplars planted as fast growing, privacy creating weeds trees.

Does anyone have a go-to place that can provide and plant the trees?

Tree to tree nurseries do a great job. Good product and service.

Thanks! Any other suggestions? The snow makes yardwork seem so far away... But we're half way to May!

Gentle nudge.

Any deals to be had (without sacrificing quality) as we (sadly) head into the fall?

Company and tree recommendations welcomed. We're looking to add some to increase backyard privacy (just 2 neighbours on either side).

Thanks

Ditto. Was tree shopping, but it appears most of the fall specials are only on the nearly dead trees. Some are looking pretty sickly while another place I went to the trees looked extremely healthy, but full price. Looking for some aspens and decorative trees, potted.

We had good luck with Cobblestone Garden a few years ago when we planted Swedish Aspens. I haven't been there this year so I don't know what their inventory looks like. It's located on 17th Avenue between Calgary and Chestermere. http://cobblestonegarden.ca/

Also, Home Depot has a sale right now as well. It's a buy 2 get one free deal. Here's the link to the coupon. It expires on the 14th though.
