My first proper TPO reductions

[Mr. Bish]

I have done a fair few maples (some big) and various other small tree reductions but somehow I seem to be getting some decent oak reduction jobs lately.

These are my first two.

 

I am happy to take any critism on the chin as I have a monster oak to do that is visable from about 1000 houses in a couple of weeks. I am very ancious to get it right.

 

First one was deadwood, raise crown to 5mtr above ground and 15% reduction / thin.

It was difficult to keep everyone happy as it covered 6 gardens. The person paying the bill was not the tree owner etc.

 

Second was not a pleasant day. Wind called it off then two days later I went back and it was still a bit windy for my liking. Garden that the tree was in was full of dog dirt and none of the neighbours offered us a brew!!!!!!!!!!! Do they think we run on water alone?

 

I do know there are a few spars still left out a bit but to remove them I felt I would have had to have gone back in a long way and that would have left it in worse shape (in my opinion)

 

PS: Thats my new truck - before hopper fitting and sign writing - I am NOT hideing who I am.

Brief for the second was 25% thin (no mention of reduction) deadwood and raise to 5mtr.

Did you have guidance from the ground on those oaks?

Like has been said did you have guidance, good groundsman can help you .Always looks different from the ground. I usualy have help as im not as experienced as some people on here (some people need it some don't).
