If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that our home place matters — a lot. Now more than ever, we want to make our living space truly our own. We are ready to go. It’s time to get the yard in shape; time to turn the yard into a nice place to safely gather; time to stop thinking and start doing. With materials hard to come by and prices on the rise, it pays to plan ahead with the help of expe- rienced professionals who can help you make the most of your home-improvement plans. They can help you choose the right project — then help you get it done … or help you do it yourself. Sisters’ dedicated service pro- fessionals and skilled tradesmen can help you make your home safer, more functional, more liv- able — and more beautiful. Rent the tools for the job or hire folks who have the best equipment and the expertise to put living well in Sisters within your reach. ALPINE LAND MANAGEMENT LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SERVICES Juniper Composting organic fertilizer FIREWOOD SPRING CLEAN UP $200/cord DELIVERED Preventative fi re-fuel reduction TREE AND SHRUB PRUNING Hauling fuels debris, staging for fall burning Specializing in Sisters Properties 541 977 6711 alpineland@aol.com Vernon Stubbs No Job Too Big Or Too Small! “This area is a unique place on earth,” Vernon Stubbs says. “It’s a huge responsibility for us to steward the land and be very careful with it.” Stubbs shoulders that responsibility through his company, Alpine Land Management. He promotes biodiversity through thinning, especially of juniper, controlled “jackpot” burning of concentrated fuels, reforesting, transplanting of native botanicals and grasses and composting. He turns cut juniper into fence posts and firewood lengths. Where burning isn’t an option, he will haul mate- rials away. And he will deliver firewood through the summer. Alpine Land Management is currently engaged in fescue restoration projects, which provide excel- lent value for the customer, while restoring a natural feel to the landscape. Stubbs transplants the fescue evenly and top-dresses with compost to get the dry- land grass established. It doesn’t require irrigation. With Stubbs’ deep knowledge and passion, Alpine Land Management offers clients value, quality — and a sense of pride in their personal landscape.
