That was another choice on my radar.  I think I may go with this.  Either the regional native (saskastoon) or the more shade tolerant Amelanchier canadensis.  I definitely want to steer away from the lolly pop type trees or anything with a strait trunk so I am glad to get feed back that some of you think these ornamental choices with mo…[Read more]

I’m not to concerned about the “hack job” pruning of a tree for this space.  I being a Certified Arborist am going to make clear to the client to only have a high end tree care company with Certified Arborist prune this tree over the years and to have it pruned to keep it’s natural shape and form.  I have pr…[Read more]

It is a way to recycle urban timber that would have other wise gone to the landfill or be chipped into mulch.  The wood that my old boss reclaims falls into this category. He has relationships with local Tree companies who call him up when they are removing or trimming trees where the wood may…[Read more]

Out of all the places I visited it was the place that the locals seemed to enjoy the most and the place where I felt most inclined to just kick back and hang.
