the 'todays job' thread

Removed some tall ass lombardys this week. 30m tall, we could only get around 20m up. Had to rig the 10m head.

 

 

Why could you only get to 20m?

[Jake Andrews]

Could have gone higher if we had the bottle. To be honest there's was no need to go higher, had a clear fell zone just wanted to keep the butts in the air to stop them crashing through a orchard tree. It was also really windy on this day and we were getting around 5-800mm of sway either side of neutral, and the reason they were being removed was because they were all decayed at the base with 1 failure already. This was obviously in the back of our minds.

Some from todays Willow removal 60% of the tree was in next doors garden due to a very curved trunk.

We used a basic Zip line to send it back in to my customers garden due to no access to next doors garden and an 8ft hedge to throw it back over.

And a few off the phone.

 

It was quicker to drop in the lake and utilise the skid steers dragging force. I let lucy the newest member of the team get some driving experience too.

 

And the yew hedge the rest of the team had to recut.
