Our Very Simple Principles!

sawdust and sunshine tree removal

Based on feedback from our customers, I’ve come to realize that some very simple principles can make a huge difference in your experience hiring a service contractor. So we here at Sawdust and Sunshine, pride ourselves on nailing the basics:

  • Clear, honest communication about what work we can and can’t perform, and what the price will be;
  • Showing up on the scheduled date (or if weather, equipment or life does conspire to delay us, communicating why with a new date ASAP);
  • Completing the work as described, when described;
  • Keeping ourselves, our customers, their property and the public safe throughout;
  • No payment for services until the work is complete!

We’re Out and About!

Water access tree removal!
Clearing on Charleton Lake
New pole mount going up!
Bi-facial panels to gather sun from below especially in winter!
Red pine tucked tight to home lowered piece by piece on to deck.
Leaning pine towards cabin on a remote island on the North Channel
Stem of leaning White Pine remaining to be feld from ground
Chipping large brush pile to reduce fire hazards
Large Battery Bank arrived!
Small solar system for remote island camp

We haven’t posted much this summer, but we certainly have been busy! We’ve gone to remote islands in the Bay of Islands, toured the inner lakes of Algoma and even done a few jobs in town! We are heading north to Dalton next week to install a solar system for a new remote camp and will be setting up two other systems locally shortly after. We are booked up for August but are still available in September through November.

If you’re looking to have a solar system designed or trees looked at don’t hesitate to give us a ring!

PSA: Tilt those panels skyward!

If you’ve racked your panels on a tilt-able pole mount, then don’t forget to point them skyward to take advantage of the higher spring and summer sun!

Spring Cleaning Time is Here!

Spring is a great time to walk your property before the leaves come out in the trees, and assess for any winter damage.

The View from the Top!

This one was a little different! This big pine tree was partially uprooted and being held up by adjacent trees. We added additional bracing before starting to climb. By the time we reached the top the tree was nearly horizontal!

If you have any unusual or hazardous trees you need taken down safely and efficiently, give us a call!

Back from the High Arctic!

June 15th, 2022: We’ve just wrapped up an incredible working trip in the high arctic at 75 degrees north latitude, and are happy to once again be back in the land of maples, oaks, poplar, birch and towering pines! It was an amazing time up north, but we’re excited to be able to serve your tree care and green energy needs once again this summer and fall!
