This laurel hedge and cherry tree desperately needed a professional pruning by our crew.
Here are some before and after pictures. And all that is left to be done is our usual immaculate clean up!
In this case, the hedges were extensive and quite tall, so we brought in the bucket truck. A good day’s work in late February, some careful cleanup afterwards and our customer was very happy!!
As you can see, this is a Smoke Bush, Smoke Tree or Cotinus, which in this case, grows 3′ a year!
That day it was getting its annual trim. About 20 minutes after this photo was taken, the job was done, the cleanup was perfect, not a leaf on the ground!
We pride ourselves not only on our professional services, but on our after care of your property.
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
