Chunky Monkey Jay.

The fell looked on, though.

Talk us through it.

From what I can see on my phone the grass looks well looked after, maybe that's why?

 

Either that or they'd priced it for a dismantle and the clients just wouldn't bugger off!

Yeah big at the base, looked like it had been grafted at some point. Couldn't fell the thing unfortunately, was leaning back towards the house at the rear and they had a slab driveway at the front of the tree. It probably would have just fitted across the lawn but would have been a beast to clear up and would have smashed the drive to pieces. Dismantling IMO was easier, rig a bit down and with two groundies on top of the chipper they were able to feed it straight in as it came off the ropes. Snatched some of the timber down then cut slim rings and pushed them into the box to save cross cutting and lifting

Lawn was ok, nothing fantastic but the fell would have totalled it and the drive!

So over the last 2 years we've been slowly reducing this oak as it been suffering from water logging. It was terribly sparse when we first visited with a lot of deadwood on the lateral limbs. We shortened them and allowed the epicormic growth to flush them today we returned to reduce the height down to start forming a smaller crown. I managed to hit myself with the silky and then we went and took down a smallish poplar.

 

Oh and this sign tickled me about food deliver vans.

Ian where did you get that first aid kit?

Ian where did you get that first aid kit?

 

 

It's an arb aid kit. Brilliant and especially if you do the aerial rescue training first aid. I heard on Facebook this kit helped save a life last week.
