SITE PREPARATION & CLEARING Mechanical land clearing (using bulldozers and machines) damages the shallow root systems of surrounding trees. DTS can clear your property without jeopardizing the integrity of neighboring trees. We will coordinate a plan to utilize all tree material to its fullest potential for logs, lumber, or firewood. |

REMOTE PROPERTY WORK We welcome the opportunity to work in the Alaskan bush. DTS will help you with remote tree work, site development, airstrip maintenance, timber harvesting, firewood processing, and wildfire fuel reduction. Fuel reduction is critical in remote areas where fire crews are often unable to focus their attention on saving your home or cabin. |

ORNAMENTAL TREE PLANTING Trees are a important resource and there are many good reasons to plant new trees. In Alaska we are limited to cold tolerant tree varieties and we also recommend planting trees that are fire resistant. DTS provides new tree planting services and can put you on a scheduled care program or teach you how to take care of your newly planted trees. |

SNOW AND ICE DAM REMOVAL Obstacles like vents and chimneys can prevent snow from sliding off your roof and wet snowfalls can cause snow and ice dams to build up throughout the winter. DTS uses climbing and rigging equipment to safely access your roof and remove obstructions. |
