Lander Valley Tree Care

About Lander Valley Tree Care

Autumn runs the irrigation ditches dry in the Lander valley and turns the ditchbank willows and box elders yellow all at once, with Table Mountain going blue behind them. Lander Valley Tree Care works that season hard: pruning shade and yard trees while the structure is still visible, cutting out dead wood, shortening the limbs that a first wet snow will test. Removals come when a tree has quit — a cottonwood shedding into a corral, a spruce crowded up against a wall — and they are dismantled wherever a fall would cost something. Storm work has its own character here, since an early October snow on trees still in leaf brings wood down all over Fremont County, and the days after are clearing, cutting and hauling. From town out to Hudson and Fort Washakie, the measure of a finished job is a yard that looks looked-after.
