    Purpose of rigging?

    We rig mostly to prevent compacting the soil and protecting the root systems of the remaing trees in the yard. In winter with frozen ground we only rig to protect targets when called for. Sent from my SM-T818W using Tapatalk

    Climbing/PPE Gear for Small Bodies

    She will need at least steel toe with chainsaw protection for when she starts climbing. We specialize in pruning so something with a soft sole is crucial. And getting them with enough insulation for our winter work at -20 to -30 C would be nice. Sent from my SM-T818W using Tapatalk

    Climbing/PPE Gear for Small Bodies

    I will be watching this closely too as I just hired a young woman and we have the same issues. She did get the waist sewed in 4 places to get her chainsaw paints to fit with doctored up suspenders but I want to get something better for her. I know clogger makes some women's chainsaw pants but we...

    TreeStuff used to be great!

    Our dollar does not drop simply because of Trump. Confidence in our CAD dollar tanks when idiot Hair Pierre does what he does and makes us a socialist laughing stock on the international stage. Add in all the stupid crap of not allowing us to demand an international market price for our oil and...

    How much do you pay your climbers?

    Actually it is pretty decent for a starting wage. Remember we don't pay pst on anything either nor does our provincial part of income taxes rip us a new one like in BC. I ran a consulting firm with 40 employees in the Okanagan. I worked 2 x as hard and made about half as much as I do here. Sent...

    How much do you pay your climbers?

    I would do all my own climbing too but we are so busy I am already booking work for next year. I will burn out if I did it all myself. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    How much do you pay your climbers?

    All PPE supplied and $2000 first year for climbing gear and $1000 each year after. Paid training and if CA dues paid annually. Extended health benefits paid 50% of premiums. We work pretty much year round with a slower pace for January and February. Good months for upgrading or courses which are...

    How much do you pay your climbers?

    If I could get a climber here that would be the rates I would pay. My groundies start at 20 and after 8 months are at 25. A climber would start at 25 and just go up from there. I am in northern Alberta. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    Trees from a distance

    Prunus padus ? Mayday for us will be in flower once we lose the 3 1/2 feet of snow still on the ground. Look lots like the one you are showing. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    Fertilizing, not all it's cracked up to be?

    So the guy will spend $50g on rock but when I quote to fertilize 24 of the trees with the drill hole method because broadcast fert will get us nowhere with all that rock he has problems with the price including 5 trees with obvious SGR issues. I think he would rather just replace trees every...

    Fertilizing, not all it's cracked up to be?

    I already did the consult. Owner is proud of the fact he paid so much for rock and landscaping. It is a status symbol in that neighbourhood. I am working on getting him to remove it and as time goes on to replace with appropriate soil, mulch etc. We are in prairie clay and in zone 3b so we...

    Fertilizing, not all it's cracked up to be?

    Plus broadcasting over the rock and 2 thick layers of landscape fabric is not going to do anything at all. Sent from my SM-T818W using Tapatalk

    Fertilizing, not all it's cracked up to be?

    Already did aeration and vertical mulching but soil and foliar analysis indicate alkaline soils- not suprising- and definitely low in nitrogen so want to show we can turn them around some. Need to get the client to trust me enough to remove the $50 000 in stupid rock and replace with mulch...

    Fertilizing, not all it's cracked up to be?

    I have a solution I have brewing too. What I meant in my question was soil injection tools that are used to get it into the root zone etc. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk
