Project Date: August 25, 2024

Location: 38823 Princess Ave, Langley, BC

Project Overview: Ruby Tree Care was called to address an urgent situation in the Langley. A severe summer storm had partially uprooted a mature 80-foot Douglas fir, leaving it precariously leaning towards a residential property.

Challenge: The tree’s location posed significant risks to the nearby home and power lines. Quick action was necessary, but the project required careful planning due to the tree’s size and unstable condition.

“Ruby Tree Care’s response was incredibly fast and professional. They turned a scary situation into a smooth, worry-free process. I’m amazed at how quickly and safely they handled such a large tree!”

Sarah Thompson, Willoughby resident
