History
In 1980, my dad, Derek Lindsay, cut down his first tree with an old McCulloch chainsaw. It was love at first cut, and he couldn't get enough. Saturday mornings, just before cartoons were on, he would drag my brother and me (Christian) out of bed to help him. I was six and my brother was nine; to him, that was old enough to carry a log. In those days, it was all about firewood. My dad would cut, remember it was love, and my brother and I would split and throw and stack and throw and stack again until we had big muscles, a tan, and lots of cash for gum and baseball cards. At least those were the benefits he often bribed us with to get us out of bed Saturday mornings.
We sold lots and lots of firewood, until one day, much later, we realized people were willing to pay us to take their trees down. After a while, we got so busy taking trees down for money that we gave up selling firewood. We branched out into trimming, and a little later, cabling and bracing potential hazard trees. I got my arborist certification in 2002 to be better equipped to care for the trees we were in every day. And so here we are today, performing many aspects of tree care. And it's true, I still have enough left for a pack of baseball cards.
