Tree Assessment - A tree assessment provides customers, for a small fee, with a verbal explanation of the condition of their trees. In addition, the arborist may describe any DIY options you might have to correct or improve the problem. It is also of value for customers who cannot afford to have tree services done at this time but only want to make a budget now.
Tree Planting - We have a large selection of affordable high quality trees that are handpicked by our arborists, or our customers can also purchase their own trees and have them planted under the best conditions by a knowledgeable professional from our company.

Five days a week, 28-year-old Ebony Smith arrives at Changing Gears Bike Shop at 10:50 a.m., ten minutes before opening. Walking into the shop, she turns on the lights, opens the register, and reviews the repair orders. For the next several hours she will repair bikes with professional skill and care, and guide customers through bike choices like anexperienced rider, learning about their needs and preferences, and helping them to find the perfect fit.
Although Smith had almost no experience riding a bike and didn’t even
enjoy riding one when she first came to Changing Gears, she has stayed in the position for nearly a decade now, and her customersare thankful to her heartfelt assistance. What’s more, many of the shop visitors are youth from families living in low-income housing named Alameda Point.

However, when a three-month job training position opened at the bike shop in 2021, Smith took a chance to, as she says, “turn her life around.” She signed up and was quickly hired.
Smith is just one of the thousands of Changing Gears’ employees around the world, and her continued success at Changing Gearsembodies the shop’s duty to “operate a bicycle-based social enterprise that meets the needs of the underprivileged of our local area.”
In addition, the shop has a strong environmental focus, which includes bicycle reuse and recycling. Throughout the years Changing Gears has also engaged youth and families in bicycle field trips and provided freebicycle parking
and repair service at local farmers’ markets in order to encourage bike riding as a practical and green form of transportation.
Through its blending（协调） of effective small business practices with a social and environmental mission, Changing Gears stays inspired to use bicycles as a vehicle for social change.
