how would you do it?

[simonm]

so ive got a crown reduction to do on a large maple, below it is 2 conservatories one either side its approx 50 foot tall the branches arent strong enough for me to climb out on them and "cut and chuck" so i can only reach them with my pole saw. i cant just cut and drop because of the conservatories below but i cant get close enough to tie them off! what would you do?

sorry i can be of no help, but wondering what kind of pole saw you have?

 

good luck with the job, i'll be looking at the thread to see what other people would do

maybe a narrow one but id rather explore other options first then its not extra cost thats getting passed onto the customer

Maybe you should have thought about it before getting the job

Not sure how people can price a job without knowing how they are going to tackle it first

i was dropping some serious lumps on those boards towards end.... 2ft long.. 4-6 inch diameter.... worked better than i expected

[hazzygawa]

Do a bigger reduction

 

Can we have pics of before, during Nd after?
