WE OFFICIALLY END August with some more original video content, a slideshow of still photography from our previous projects. You can get a sense of what kind of work we’ve done in the past couple of years from these 72 randomly sampled images. Here’s two minutes and forty-forty seconds of landscape love. Cheers! Hope you enjoyed the summer of 2009…
LANDSCAPING IS DYNAMIC WORK, so we thought it would be good to have some original dynamic media up online, so that you could have a better sense of what we do when you go off to work in the morning and leave us alone in your yard all day long. To get twenty skids of heavy stones into a backyard in east downtown Toronto that had only two and a half feet of clearance from their next door neighbours, we used three conveyor belts end to end and moved the materials down the slope assembly-line style. John, Travis & Bob star is this 2-minute clip shot on Golfview Avenue a couple of weeks ago.
TODAY MARKS EXACTLY three months since I returned to work at Green Apple, after an absence of a number of years of globetrotting, doing eco-research and development in the field. So if I make it to the end of the day, then I guess that means that Peter has been pleased with my performance thus far, and that he’s willing to having me stick around for a little while longer. Well, if I’m going to be hanging around for the foreseeable future, then I think I’ve earned the right to start establishing a few new traditions at Green Apple. For example, from now on, let’s end off every month’s worth of blogs with a blast from the past, a story or photograph from the Green Apple archives.
FOR THE FIRST TIME in Green Apple history, we have two full-time teams in the field! We’ve expanded and brought two new dedicated landscapers on board. One of the GA teams is now working on a job on Manning Avenue in the downtown district, so I swung by there yesterday to take a couple of shots of the noobies. Here are the new friendly faces — welcome to the team!
THIS WEEK, our crew is in the Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto, transforming a home on Hambly Avenue. Here are some photos of John, Victor, and P.J. on site, working away. If you’re in the area, feel free to drop by and say hi to the guys! Click on any image for a higher-resolution version.
