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]”

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]”
Small Engine Repair School with Special Guest [Brandon Mb Tree Service]
One of the joys challenges of our fledgling biz is the proper care and feeding of our menagerie of chainsaws, choppers, trimmers, chippers as well as fleet management. To give us a hand, we recruited our friend Ed all the way from Wpg, who is a small engine wizard. Or Medgician (this is a playContinue reading “Small Engine Repair School with Special Guest [Brandon Mb Tree Service]”
Tree Removal in Winter [Brandon Mb Tree Service]
Chris and I had been watching the weather channel pretty close to determine when we should swoop in and take down the tree. The tree had already shed some branches – somewhat inauspiciously on the roof of the house to the north. With a winter storm watch on, we wanted to make our move. SandwichedContinue reading “Tree Removal in Winter [Brandon Mb Tree Service]”
