These trees were a perfect example of 'Horizontal Cordon', first practiced in ancient Egypt around 1400 B.C., as a way of increasing sun exposure and fruit production.

Last Friday marked a sad day for us at Peak Trees as @stvnh_arb decided to follow the heart and take his passion for arboriculture back to his home town of Barrie, Ontario. We were blessed with a humble, hardworking, caring and witty colleague for one year, and not once did we take it for granted. Anyone lucky enough to share a day with Steven on the job will know what that feels like. We wish him all the best with his career as an arborist and know that he will continue to develop his skill set in the industry as he takes his contagious positive attitude into his next job.

This stump is all that remains of an old growth Cedar found in Cathedral Grove within the MacMillan Provincial Park. It is a sign of old times with towering ancient Douglas firs and Western Red Cedars , untouched by the modern world. Tens of thousands of hectares of ancient forests are still logged each year in BC. These relics are all we have to remember our natural world, and we are doing a pretty good job of losing them. @ancientforestalliance #oldgrowth #climatechange #toolittletoolate

Watch the timelapsed photography of an old Ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior) we removed. This is a great example of a tree which had out grown its location and was encroaching on the neighbours structural foundations.

Have you experienced any damage in the recent snow and heavy rain? We can help mitigate the hazards from snow damaged limbs and collapsed hedges. In large trees it is often hard to see broken branches and they only become visible after a few months as they begin to brown. We are able to climb the trees efficiently and with non-invasive techniques to inspect any hazards. 

We always pride ourself on providing a high quality service to all our clients. If you would like to read some of our reviews, click on the link below!

Mat Fernandez climbing arborist Vancouver

Mat Fernandez

Company founder - Certified Arborist

Mat began his career in arboriculture after securing a Bachelor of Sciences degree from the University of Sussex, England. Following this, he spent six months volunteering full time for the National Trust, a conservation charity focused on protecting historic buildings and green spaces. Having now acquired a taste for arboriculture, Mat pursued his passion with a small tree work company in the heart of England which further developed into establishing his own business - Peak Trees. 

At 24, Mat obtained a working visa for Canada in the hope of chasing his ambitions for the wilderness and interest in outdoor pursuits. Making Vancouver his home, Mat obtained his Certified Arborist (PN 8163A) qualification through the International Society of Arboriculture. Mat also competes in the Pacific North West at the ISA climbing competitions. 

Taking a breather whilst the ground crew clear the drop zone.

Mat keeps a close eye on his ground crew, especially when the tree removal is close to so many targets.

Jordan Pryce

Apprentice Climbing Arborist

Jordan is a keen, passionate and knowledgeable arborist who is continuing to expand his vocabulary and awareness in Arboricultural practices. He has a background in wildfire and was a successful crew leader for 5 years giving him an ability to work hard, diversify and act instinctively to worksite hazards. This skill allows him to smoothly plan jobs and ensure that the team together works coherently and efficiently. I have no doubt that Jordan will continue to learn at a fast pace and contribute strongly towards the profession.

If you drink coffee, have a dog and are from Penticton, I guarantee that you will find some common ground.

Steven Henderson

Apprentice Climbing Arborist

_ITP6523 (1).jpg

Steven is a recent addition to the Peak Trees crew. He has learnt the ropes very quickly and has been humble with every new learning experience. Steven is a recent graduate of an intense Utility Arborist Apprenticeship from Humber College and has been rigid with this application in the work place. He is on track to challenge the ISA certification after 2 years of work experience.
