THE VALUES you'll need to be in line with: We have 5 that build our foundation!

SAFETY: The dangers of tree work are plenty; however, through thoughtful planning and mitigation these dangers can be minimized. It is our responsibility to prevent injury to ourselves, our customers, and those we work alongside at all times. We ensure all our employees are trained to handle all the equipment they use and work in a safe manner.

QUALITY: We strive to always complete things to the best quality standard, within the parameters of the project. If we are not able to produce this quality it is our duty to seek guidance in order to improve. Our clients have trusted us with their projects and they shall receive our best.

LEAN: At Timberscapes we adhere to the saying “smarter not harder”. Team members shall at all times be striving to produce the most efficient work possible through dynamic organizational practices and stellar time management skills.

GRIT: This is a super important value for us because it is the driver of achievement and success. Grit is independent of, and beyond, what talent and intelligence contribute to our day to day at Timberscapes. Being naturally smart and talented are great things, but to truly do well and thrive, we need the ability to push through and persevere through many aspects of our daily tasks. Without grit, our talents may be nothing more than unmet potential.

LEARN: Much like the trees we care for, from the moment we are put here on earth we begin to grow and to evolve. A hunger to seek knowledge is something that should be engrained in us all, and this will fuel our future. The costs of education can be high; however, the cost of being uneducated is far greater. Our continuous growth ensures all labour is profitable even if only through the lessons we've learned.
