So I ran out of time yesterday so went in today to finish up and I never envisaged the amount of grindings.

Looks like poplar, fluffs up to create a pile like that. Especially if you have to chase out roots.

I'm planning on ignoring it as it was a freebie favour that someone called in. [emoji23] I expect I'll end up taking the skid steer to load it up and I'll take it in the woods and level it out, or tip it off as a wildlife pile. [emoji6]

Yeah they were 2 white poplar stumps, only had to chase a few out as they had used a digger to rip out the roots in the pitches, shame they didn't rip these out at the same time.

Access was shocking so we had a crane day. The tree had a phone line on one side and I just did light picks because it was easier. The heaviest bit was the stem at only 2.7t (we had 4t at that reach) but 90% were sub 600kgs.

10/10 for logistical planning there Ian.

We extended a rooting area of a redwood today. I didn't have much space to play with regarding being able to build the ground level up. So I went for clean sand and washed crushed stone with the idea of the sand being porous but able to be compressed over the rooting area and the a layer of stone to bind the top layer. Not done anything like this before so I'm keen to know if and what I could of done differently should I be asked in the future.
