This job was a simple one, which opened up the view from this gracious garden, to the lake. The light has improved as well as the view. Our job is not simply to top or fell trees, also but to help you create vistas where you want them. And that is not all.
Our cleanup after every job is as perfect as we can get it!

This article from Federated Insurance has some good tips about fireproofing your property in light of the wild fires we are seeing in BC this year.
They suggest that you inspect the land surrounding your property and remove highly flammable vegetation such as pine and fir trees, and keep lawns green and mowed. Move landscaping plants and vines away from the sides of your property.
They recommend the creation of a “safe zone” around your home. Make sure your roof is free from debris and clean your gutters often. Read the full article here.
Be sure to rake up all the fallen leaves and put them into the compost. If the leaves are left, they can encourage fungal growth, other diseases and insects.
October is also a good time to get deciduous hedges and those big trees pruned before the winter gales.
A tree may need pruning for a variety of reasons:
· to remove diseased or storm-damaged branches
· to thin the crown to permit new growth and better air circulation
· to reduce the height of a tree
· to remove obstructing lower branches
· to shape a tree for design purposes
