Should of taken a before pic. Heres the after. 25% reduction.

 

Jeez Louise,

 

Is that at the back of the property on Ingram Avenue where I saw you guys working on Tuesday?

 

No idea that was there if it is.

 

Was the spec really in % or in meters?

Had a call to look at a poplar that had cracked last night. Was getting on a bit and had some minor decay around the base. Made it lie down. Dig a dogs tooth cut because it had a 20 degree lean and all the weight was on the lean. Didn't even get to match my cuts up! It hit the ground before I could take more than a step away.

 

Had a pine that had dropped a poorly attached union to sort too. Some of our other team members sorted the pine while I was at the pop. Going back tomorrow to fell the pine as it's had a load of roots severed when the driveway was put in. Tree officer removed its TPO and CA exemptions as soon as he saw it. Will be a quick job as there's lots of room and a lean in the right direction!

Those GoPro stills are quality Rich.

Bigger tree than I thought.

As usual!

 

Nice fell on the Pop Rob, good choice of cut I think. That baby wanted to go!

There's 7 more with similar leans. This one weighed 4t. 3 of the others are at least 6 I reckon. Some more will drop straight but the others are over phone lines and one over an oil/fuel tank and that container. Crane job to get those out
