View enhancement - Windermere BC

Often, views are obscured over time by encroaching vegetation. We are experts at properly pruning and or selectively removing trees to ensure those million dollar views are maintained. The attached photo is a before and after view from our clients deck in Windermere BC. It is very important for the health of the trees to access the canopies without the use of spurs (spikes used to ascend).

To help maintain the health of your trees and to enhance your views make sure to hire professionally certified Arborists and ensure they don't climb your trees using spurs!

For any outdoor stone work or landscape installation, we recommend Set in Stone Landscape Construction.

1. Survey and Evaluate: Determine the number and species of trees, any possible infestation and the number of trees that may be susceptible to infestation. 2. Preventative Spraying/ removal of infected trees. 3. Eradication: Fire mitigation and thinning the tree count can decrease competition for nutrients between trees.

Dormant Oil Spraying

/

Minimize usage of those nasty pesticides and take advantage of Dormant Spraying. Dormant spraying refers to spraying during the season of the year when deciduous trees and shrubs are leafless, and buds are in the overwintering, dormant condition. Materials applied as dormant sprays include horticulturals oils (dormant oil) and lime sulphur. Horticultural oils mix with water to form a milky emulsion. After the water evaporates, a thin layer of oil is left on the tree. Any overwintering stages of insects such as eggs or pupae, when sprayed with dormant oil, will suffocate. Some examples of these insects are scales, mites, aphids and eggs of moths, such as leafrollers. We will begin spraying in March 2014 prior to buds swelling.

Because of this, there is a great need to train to industry best practices. Green Leaf Tree Services is SAFE company certified, and we have an extensive safety program which our staff adheres to in order to ensure we maintain a high level of safety while caring for your trees. In this picture, crew members practice the skills needed to safely and efficiently access an injured coworker, assess their injuries, and bring them safely to the ground. Our company has been assessed through random audits by WCB compliance officers and we have always met and exceeded their expectations. 

Technical Tree Removal- Lake Louise Alberta

/

speedline removalGreen Leaf was recently commissioned by Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts to remove an uprooted spruce tree with extensive decay which threatened to fall onto a propane tank and delivery system. With no room below the tree to place any pieces our skilled climber employed a speedline rigging system to safely lower all limbs and wood to a landing zone away from the propane tank. Technical removals like this are our specialty! We are trained and certified to deal with such hazards in confined spaces.
