The start of a pretty hairy multi height co-dom cedar that we removed this year post storm damage. It was about 140ft tall to the tips. #thuja #cedar #arborist #vancouver #codom #langley

Thanks to Dr. Nina Bassuk for the webinar on reducing tree/soil damage during construction. She provided an excellent summary of the issues that trees face during development -- a highlight was best practices methods of protection/planning before and during developmemt but also remediation treatments after damage has already been done! #vancouver #arborist #consultingarborist #Crz #compaction #mulch #nocutzone #structuralroots #roots #dbh #specimentree @isarboriculture @ Vancouver, British Columbia

Looking up while pole pruning some Picea pungens on Bowen Island today for a sweetheart of a client (who kept us caffeinated all day.) The weather couldn't have been better! #nofilter #arborist #Picea #bowenisland #treelife #bowenbay

Recent damage that we caused to a client's artificial turf due to residual heat from the muffler. Luckily it can be replaced in the spring without too much fuss. Pro tip: be super careful around turf lawns or only use battery powered Husky saws and polesaws! We'll be upgrading to a battery powered long reach hedge trimmer as well as soon as they're released... #sorrylinda #we'llfixit #artificialturf #oops #arboristproblems #anotgerreasontogobatterypowered @ Steveston, British Columbia

A 12x2.5ft salvaged maple slab from a 120foot tall bigleaf maple that I removed 2 years ago. Milled, dried, and now to be processed by us into a headboard and sidetables! Super excited to see the end product.... #liveedge #diy #vancouver #vancouverarborist #arborist #reuse #recycle #wood @ Alpine Tree Care

With great power comes great responsibility. Some tree removal cases are quite cut and dry, while others require riding a fine line and taking many stakeholders into account. Report writing is as much of a skill as it is an art, and is a great way to illustrate one's cumulative knowledge and experience. It's important to consider as many factors as possible considering the decision affects the fate of a living organism. #arborist #vancouver #alpinetreecare #keepitorleaveit

Girdling roots on an acer rubrum. A recent assessment presented a large maple situated close to a house with large pruning wounds low on the trunk, fairly large roots near the foundation, large girdling roots that are too large to be removed, and foliage all over the house. Would you manage this tree over time or remove it before it becomes an issue? #arborist #vancouver #richmond #arbassessment #arboristsofinstagram @ Richmond, British Columbia

Air Spading on a hot summer day -- we removed up to 16" of topsoil that had been added to this tree's CRZ during construction of the driveway. Hopefully in a year well see some positive signs in the springtime! We air spaded a large yew and hemlock, delicately hand-excavated 17 yards of soil from the area under the drip line, and broomed in 3 yards of compost. #airspade #arborist #vancouver #hot #bobcat alpinetreecare.ca @ Vancouver, British Columbia
