We recently had the chance to revisit the little orchard east of town, where we pruned last year. The Brandon Community Garden Network, who host weekly workshops, invited us back to talk techniques, about how we assess a tree, and safety. I couldn’t resist the blossoms!! If you have some trees that need a haircut,Continue reading “Pruning for fruit”

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”
The New Year Review 2014 [Bee EZ Tree Service]
What is there to say about 2014? We cut, we pruned, we ground stumps – we made the world a safer, more attractive place! And we had fun doing it. FLORIDA !! The first fun adventure – right out of the gates, was a long-awaited trip to Florida. Celebrating Chris’s 40th birthday with a bigContinue reading “The New Year Review 2014 [Bee EZ Tree Service]”
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”

What do arborists do in the winter? [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?

I’m feeling pretty awesome in my new helmet. The visor flips down, it’s high quality – made in Italy hmm It always feels great to improve your kit. And with my new boots and NOW a new helmet – those trees better look out !!
Dinosaurs [Brandon Mb Tree Service]
During the lead up, we decided to visit my sister and her family in Calgary. We had anticipated that it would be a welcome break after working really hard for a month or two. As I’ve bellyached in other posts about Mother Nature, I’ll just skate past this one today. Hanging out with the weeContinue reading “Dinosaurs [Brandon Mb Tree Service]”
A frosty spring [Brandon Mb Tree Service]
We’ve had a rough start to the year. Any time it snows on my birthday (May 9) – you know you are in Manitoba. However, we’ve been busy bees, getting ready for when the sun cracked through the clouds and melted all the snow. Like trying on hats. Digging up cattails with Laura Reeves toContinue reading “A frosty spring [Brandon Mb Tree Service]”
