Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides)
A 35-50 ft., sometimes taller, deciduous tree, quaking aspen is pyramidal when young, usually developing a long trunk and narrow, rounded crown at maturity. Its small, nearly round, shiny leaves have a flattened petiole which allows them to quiver in the slightest breeze. Smooth, whitish-green bark becomes furrowed at the trunk’s base with age. Silvery catkins appear before leaves. Fall color is bright yellow. The names refer to the leaves, which in the slightest breeze tremble on their flattened leafstalks. The soft smooth bark is sometimes marked by bear claws. A pioneer tree after fires and logging and on abandoned fields, it is short-lived and replaced by conifers. Sometimes planted as an ornamental. Principal uses of the wood include pulpwood, boxes, furniture parts, matches, excelsior, and particle-board. The twigs and foliage are browsed by deer, elk, and moose, also by sheep and goats. Beavers, rabbits, and other mammals eat the bark, foliage, and buds, and grouse and quail feed on the winter buds.

Kent & Lani Noska"Our experience with Heyday Landscaping was extremely positive. Despite our own efforts to “DIY” our yard, we were in need of professional advice. Paul came out it a timely manner, listened to what we were hoping to accomplish and offered many different options. His estimate was very competitive and his timeline for completion was nearly immediate."
Mary Oakley"I have used Heyday Landscaping multiple times and have always been extremely pleased with the completed project.
As a realtor, I have recommended Heyday Landscaping to my clients when they need to present their home for sale in the best possible light. Someone's first impression of a home comes as they pull up to the property, the landscaping can make or break that impression.
