Same as rich but 4 days on 4 trees ... although they where monsters ..... totally ruined these though and would of rather would of rather felled them to be honest... bloody things barbers chairing , splitting and tearing off huge strips , a horrible , volatile timber! And a mains drain under them on the Feild side but used tyres on the front stems to flop them after rigging out the backs.

I had four all around the same size in the grave yard to reduce or pollard. 

 

Went well with everything rig or speed line and enjoyed it. 

 

 

Forget the guys name, but a member on here did a massive cedar removal in a graveyard. No crane, all rigging. Lovely stuff it was.

You mean the MEWP or the topping...  cough, cough, I meant Pollarding?

Aye it was mate had been waiting since October to get on that Feild as it’s usually soaked so was glad to get this one out the way.. timber not stacked high so kids don’t get an avalanche on them!

Tha pruning! 

 

 

that’s an amazingly tidy worksite Matty!

They were in such a bad state, tbh I didn’t care what they looked like as long as we didn’t break a headstone or put one of the legs of the MEWP through a grave.

My dad always said the customer has no idea of quality tree work , which in the case of these was shocking , but will no the difference to a clean site [emoji38].
Like riches they needed doing @ around 80ft+ and shedding whole limbs they are not worth the risk in keeping as a tree to admire , found so many surprises in rot at the base of stems it was amazing they hadn’t dropped more..., fell , top / pollard and keep Ona cycle is the only option for over mature willows I recon.
