Every tree is different, and every property has its own unique landscape. That's why our Arborists take the time to evaluate each tree carefully and recommend care that's tailored to its long-term health.

Lack of water is the most common plant stress encountered in urban and suburban landscapes. In areas with persistent drought conditions, or those with a true dry season, selecting drought resistant and native species will result in a more sustainable landscape that is easier to maintain. Drought resistant plants, such as Ginko and eastern Redbud, are adapted to live in dry conditions. Whenever selecting a tree, always consider the climate and hardiness zone before making a decision.

A little extra attention during a heat wave can help support the long-term health and resilience of your landscape. Mulch matters, water deeply, and keep an eye out for stress!

Our latest team-building event was a great success, bringing together both our field crew and office staff for an evening of rooftop beach volleyball. A big thank you to our friends at the Strathcona Hotel for hosting us and providing such fantastic snacks. It was a great opportunity to unwind, share some laughs, and discover that our team has plenty of talent beyond the trees! Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a fun evening. We're already looking forward to the next one!

Members of our Bartlett team had the opportunity to take part in Broadmead Care’s Charity Golf Tournament, joining fellow golfers and sponsors for a great day of friendly competition and community connection. The real highlight? Together, participants helped raise more than $218,000 in support of the renovation project at Veterans Memorial Lodge. We are grateful to have been part of an event that brought people together for such a meaningful cause. Thank you to Broadmead Care!

Our team had the opportunity to donate oak rounds from the Camosun Lansdowne student housing project to a local childcare program. What was once part of a mature tree has found a new purpose in the hands of some very creative young minds. These simple wood rounds have become balance beams, obstacle courses, stepping stones, insect habitats, and countless other imaginative creations. Used daily by the children, they’ve become a valued part of outdoor play and learning!
