Burley Boys Tree Service commenced operation on Vancouver's North Shore in 1983, when it was founded by Lars Shearer, a veteran of the industry. Beginning operation as one man with a truck and a dream, the company quickly grew to where it now stands, employing over a dozen specialists including certified fallers, arborists, climbers, and other trained professionals dedicated to the task of keeping one of the most heavily treed and densely populated areas of Canada safe and beautiful.
In the fall of 2014, long-time managers of Burley Boys, Erik Helssen & Sean Wightman, became partners in the Company.Both Erik & Sean began at Burley Boys as teenagers, working their way up the ranks, from ground crew members, to climbers, arborists, and lastly, managers. In 2020 Lars retired, with Erik & Sean taking over full ownership of the Company.

We ordered 10 yards of wood chips from them to use as a mulch. There was some delay in scheduling delivery (after we paid) but my main concern is with the quality of the product. I've never used wood chips before so maybe this is true of all such products but the material was more chunks than chips, some of the "chunks" more properly belonging in a lumber yard. Also the load was full of fresh cedar trimmings, which may be cause for concern in a mulch though I think the jury is still out on that one. In any case, both the texture and content of the load were not what we expected.
