Arbutus Trees
Arbutus trees are iconic in the Victoria area. Recognizable by their smooth, peeling bark and glossy evergreen leaves, these trees add natural beauty to the landscape. However, their sensitivity to environmental changes makes proper care essential for maintaining their health and longevity.
Garry Oak
Garry Oak is a local and very sensitive species. We love working with Garry Oaks and the challenges that they bring. Garry Oaks are a valuable tree in our Ecosystem so much so that Oak Bay was named after the Garry Oak.

The Douglas-fir is one of the most valuable and significant timber species in the pacific northwest. This evergreen conifer ranges from medium to large in size, often growing up to nearly 100 meters tall.
