Western Hemlock Tree & Stump Service

About Western Hemlock Tree & Stump Service

A quiet snowfall behaves differently under the hemlocks at Walter E. Hall Park than it does out in the open, sifting down slow through the branches and building up soft and deep instead of blowing sideways. Western Hemlock Tree & Stump Service works that wooded stretch of the park at dusk on a snow removal job, clearing the paths and small lot near the trailhead before the light goes fully dark. Snow held up in a heavy canopy like that can let go all at once, so the crew clears with an eye upward as much as down at the ground. The surrounding streets, lined with the same native hemlocks the park is named for, get the same careful pass on driveways and walkways once the park itself is done. This crew works that hushed, wooded corner of the park at the one hour it goes quietest, right as the light gives out.
