The past few weeks have been pretty epic. Here in Brandon, the flood waters are still high, folks are cleaning up after two back to back storms a week apart, and we are catching up. Chris and I usually work 6 days a week throughout the summer. Both storms hit on Saturday nights, which meantContinue reading “After the storm”

Storm Warning
Here in South Western Manitoba, we’ve reached monsoon season. We have had a lot — I mean A LOT – of water. Besides the flooding and general state of emergency that was declared, super saturated soil is trouble for trees. Why? When the last storm came through, we saw twisted and ripped apart trees. TheContinue reading “Storm Warning”
Oh the things we will find [Brandon MB Tree Service]
Grinding stumps is a kind of archeological excavation – but thru wood instead of rock. We look at the rings and sometimes we count them. Notice included discarded branches from the old days and marvel at the difference in size from year to year. Sometimes we make up prospector voices and talk about back inContinue reading “Oh the things we will find [Brandon MB Tree Service]”
Weather to call it [Brandon MB Tree Service]
Chris and I both have heavy construction backgrounds. Working with excavators, loaders and dump-trucks requires attention to the weather that most people underestimate. I’ve worked in rain, hail, snow, blazing heat, and freezing winter – but it all depends on the job of the day. Spreading gravel on a shoulder of the road, on anContinue reading “Weather to call it [Brandon MB Tree Service]”

What do arborists do in the winter? [Brandon MB Tree Service]
That sounds like the beginning of a joke I would have told as a child. I used to tell a lot of question jokes when I was a kid. We get trained up Chris and I attended the training day in Winnipeg, hosted by Vermeer. They are one of our suppliers for gear. It wasContinue reading “What do arborists do in the winter?

Interference [Brandon Mb Tree Service]
Over the summer, we’ve witnessed a strange phenomenon. Folks will call us up for a quote – perhaps some trimming, or a removal. And as we walk through the yard, listening to the homeowner describe the job, we’ll point out the elephant in the yard – trees interacting with either the roof/shingles, gutters or powerContinue reading “Interference [Brandon Mb Tree Service]”
Getting into it [Brandon Mb Tree Service]
Over the last few weeks, Chris and I have put treecutting awesome-ness to the side while we try to get our building in shape for the winter. We’ve really had to get into it. This has involved a lot more drywall than originally planned. Seemingly acres of drywall. Add ons have included replacing aging waterContinue reading “Getting into it [Brandon Mb Tree Service]”
A great day [Brandon Mb Tree Service]
If you follow us on Instagram – you may have already seen Chris lightsabering I mean, hedge trimming. All that comes to mind is Star Wars. People – take care of your cedars. The inside of cedars are the old/dead branches, meaning the actual life of the tree exists only in the tips. Regular pruningsContinue reading “A great day [Brandon Mb Tree Service]”
