Nice shots Dave.

 

The old girl was a fair size.

 

Looked like a cracking day.

Efficient piece of work there huckster

 

Why the removal ?

 

 

 

Hit this one relatively hard a couple of months ago.

Shot it again yesterday.

 

Will bring it down further in a year or two.

Dead as a door nail mate, not a leaf on it and right behind one of the "T's" on a golf course

few from today, only took pics because client was a real try it on guy, so got pics how we found the tree when we started and when we left. only got me in after accepting another cheaper quote only for them to turn up with a ladder and truck and smashed fence etc he still paid them though then to accept my quote and tryed to tell me cause they had done some of it my costs will be lower, i said my price is my price

 

 

also i was interested how we cut all the truck down in slices and it was only the very last one that had this crack in it any ideas why this is? stress of the rigging on the tree?

 

internal growth stresses which push the rays together are released on cutting hence the cracking, often sycamores pop and crack as you cut them.

My Uncle and Auntie live in North London Dave.

 

I could pop up and visit them and get that decked for you in an afternoon if you fancy?

Here's one for you guys, a rather mature Poplar located in a garden in Gatley Manchester. This was rather a challenging one with its sheer size, never the the less we turned this one round in just over six hrs!

Gum and elm do it aswell.

doesn't it happen with wind torsion as well?
