A while back, a homeowner told us they were hoping to hire someone with a little more experience. We understand completely. Choosing who works on the big tree next to your house is not a decision to take lightly, and you want a crew that has genuinely seen it all.
So, in the interest of putting any concerns to rest, we dug through the archives and assembled a brief photographic history of Jewel Creek Tree Service. We have, it turns out, been at this for a while.
Circa 9000 BCE. Stump grinding was, at this stage, mostly conceptual. The mammoth was not a paying client and was asked to move along.
Giza, around 2500 BCE. Brought in to clear the site ahead of a large construction project. We did, for the record, advise against the location.
1340. Removing a hazard oak from the village green. The plague pushed our cleanup schedule back considerably, for which we apologized.
The Boundary region, 1884. We were here before the town had a name. Still no hard hats — different times, and we don't recommend it.
1911. New truck, same crew. The truck has since been replaced several times. The crew, apparently, has not.
1974. The chipper was new and the moustaches were mandatory. Only one of those things is still true.
Last Tuesday, somewhere near Grand Forks. Full safety gear, modern rigging, actual insurance. Still showing up early. Still arguing about the radio.
So, about that experience
When we say we have experience, we mean it. Roughly eleven thousand years of it, give or take a couple of ice ages. References available from most of recorded history.
We would be glad to bring all of that experience to your property — preferably in this century, with modern rigging, proper safety gear, and the $2 million liability insurance that the 1340 crew regrettably did not carry. We handle technical and danger tree removal across the Boundary region: Grand Forks, Christina Lake, Greenwood, Rock Creek, and Osoyoos.
(For the record, the version of us with an actual business licence has been serving the Boundary since 2012. The rest is simply harder to document.)
Same crew. New saws.
