Technically not today's job, storm damaged beech on Wednesday.. was dark when finished and a miserable day so no photos of the finished result, had to be a hard reduction to stabilise the remaining stems, homeowner wanted to retain the tree which is always good! Yesterday's Ash removal, restricted roots and a worried neighbour, all wood stayed on site. No chipping. Big thanks to William who has the balls to climb these things for me, while I keep my feet on the ground!

Some log splitting today, found some surprises!

Quick video from Wednesday. Fir (not sure) removal and a few stems. Customer scares me. He's up cutting on a ladder and bow saw. He had removed the tops of the stems.

Evergreen oak? Why did it have to come Out?

Evergreen oak? Why did it have to come Out?

It was diseased and was all grown over a school car park very heavy leaning over extended limbs

Thanks, don’t think I’ve ever taken out a decent size one.

 

Back in ‘95 I had to “tip thin” a similar looking one in central London when I was as green as the leaves and way out of my depth, had all sorts of issues finding a reasonable anchor point.

 

I was crapping myself and the stoned groundy couldn’t start the chipper.

 

Funny the jobs you never forget.

I'd much rather cut one down than tip thin any day [emoji6]
