We love the technical challenges of working in town – around fences, homes, wires – it is deeply satisfying to take a tree apart safely and improve your yard. We use ropes and pulleys – remember those simple machines from when we were kids? Yep, we use those everyday (also a ramp or incline planeContinue reading “Shelter Belt Pruning”

Getting Started in 2016
What an incredible year it has been. When I look through old blog posts, I see all the yards we have improved, the homes we have made more safe – things are getting better all the time. We took on some really big jobs this year.
Pruning 101
I was asked today what was the scope of our business. I said, “Well, we do tree removal, including technical removals – which basically means trees in tricky places that cannot be reached by bucket truck. We also do stump grinding (removal) and branch chipping. But our favorite thing is pruning. It is both andContinue reading “Pruning 101”
DIY Homesteader Festival – June 6th, 2015
In my spare time – pause for laughter – I teach traditional food courses. Everything from how to make probiotic sodas to sourdough bread to fermented vegetables – you can do it at home, and I can show you how! I will be presenting a workshop on Fermentation 101 with my lovely colleague Danielle Nykoluk!Continue reading “DIY Homesteader Festival – June 6th, 2015”
Getting Started – Spring 2015
Has it been a long winter? I cannot tell. The last day of work in 2014 was on November 15th, which was not overly uncomfortable temperature wise. The more challenging part of working late into the season is the diminishing sunlight. By the end of the year, we’ve been accustomed to 14 hours of daylight,Continue reading “Getting Started – Spring 2015”

Into the Heart of Darkness
One of my very favorite things about my job is that every day can be a new challenge. Pruning an older fruit tree, complicated rigging to safely drop a tree that is close to a home or power lines, picking up really heavy (like super heavy) logs – are new opportunities to learn from eachContinue reading “Into the Heart of Darkness”
A-spider-in-the-sports-bra kind of a day
After all the excitement of recents storms, and working in the blazing heat, it was very nice for a little light drizzle yesterday. I’m a little light on pictures, because I didn’t carry my phone all day (my pockets were too wet)
August 1st is around the corner and you know what that means ….
IT IS TIME TO PRUNE THE ELM TREES !!! Why now? Well, here in Manitoba, we have a nasty little pest called the Elm Bark Beetle. If you were to prune an elm tree during the ban (which runs from April 1-July 31st inclusive), these beetles would be attracted to the fresh wounds and potentiallyContinue reading “August 1st is around the corner and you know what that means ….”
