When it comes to hiring a tree service company on your property there are some important factors to consider in order to determine reputable companies from those that aren’t.

Read MoreWe are monitoring a new forest health concern in the Columbia Valley this spring! A wood borer insect has been wreaking havoc on drought stricken trees from Radium south to the Cranbrook area. While these menacing bugs aren’t a new thing in our region, it is very unusual for them to be attacking and killing live standing trees! The tell tale sign to identify attack by these insects has been that the wood peckers have been stripping the bark off of trees in search for the larvae to feed on. We are standing by as the BC Ministry of Forest entomologists are determining whether there are effective strategies to mitigate further attack when the insects emerge later this summer. If you have a tree you are concerned about on your property in Radium, Invermere, Windermere, Fairmont, Canal Flats, Kimberly or Cranbrook please reach out and one of our Certified Arborists can arrange a consultation.
In a quest to best serve our customers we have committed to investing in the Right People and the Right Equipment. New technology and mechanization is steadily improving both safety and efficiency in our trade. Introducing the newest weapon in our fleet! A track driven spider lift with 72’ working height. This EasyLift 70AJS36 will allow our team to safely access hard to reach, difficult and dangerous trees in front and backyards. With the ability to fit through a standard 36” gate and a low impact track driven drive means this machine will safely go where both bucket trucks and climbers are not able to go. Don’t get us wrong….we still employ and train the best climbers in the trade! But now we also have a very agile and versatile machine to provide safe, efficient and low impact tree work.

We are deep into the cold days of winter and looking around the Columbia Valley one can’t help but notice trees which are usually bare of leaves at this time of year are still full of brown dead leaves. So what gives? Is there something wrong? Should I be concerned about the health of my tree? All valid questions.

Enjoy the Beauty of Fall! Its time to prepare your trees for autumn and the cold harsh winter weather.
You’ll soon witness a spectacular sight throughout the region – the slow, beautiful change of green foliage to vibrant oranges, yellows, and reds. The vibrant green we’ve enjoyed throughout spring and summer is thanks to chlorophyll, the pigment key to photosynthesis.
Read MoreA tree inspection identifies possible issues, including hazards, that can help you address your trees' health, safety, and beauty.
Consider all the aspects of your life that require an inspection or regular checkup: your health, your vehicle, your home, your teeth, your favourite restaurant. Regular checkups are vital to helping prevent potential problems or dangers that could at best be costly to repair or cause irreparable damage, injury, or even the unthinkable. This applies to the trees on your property, too.

Read MoreWe are often asked how we calculate pricing for stump grinding services. The short answer is it depends on a few factors; stump size, location, species, ground type (ie. rocky ground and steep slopes), surface roots and level of cleanup can affect the pricing. We have a basic formula taking into account a cost per linear inch which can give a rough idea of costs without needing a site visit.
