Here are a few clips from a recent job we had in guernsey removing a large dangerous Monterey pine.

 

 

Care to elaborate on the term 'dangerous' for us not in the know as to the reason for removal?

 

Video seems to only focus on the cutting side of job

Tree looked dead to me, and it doesn't matter as that was the coolest thing I have ever seen!!

In before the naysayers. Innovative and efficient.

Hi again

This pine tree was termed ‘dangerous’ by the states of guernseys environment department, who contracted us for the job, a lot of trees over here were made unsafe when we had some crazy weather earlier in the year and had 8ft snow drifts, which in Guernsey is unheard of! There were hundreds of trees down not able to stand up to the unexpected snow and emergency call outs every 5 mins, this tree was also damaged at the time losing about a 3rd of its crown. And with the unpredictability of Monterey pines when they get to maturity over here, and the location of this pine in particular, they decided to remove it, expecting that next winter if there are some severe storms any failing will be over the road. It is over the main commuter route into town and there are others in the vicinity whichwe will hopefully keep for a long time. And there are also some which have been lost already.

Here is a photo, I didn’t get any better ones im afraid, and much of the video was unusable due to the weather.

All the best

Ric

appreciate the background Ric

 

Do you happen to know if there's a replacement policy for removed trees like this in Guernsey?

 

 

How often do you guys get to use cranes on dismantles?

 

 

 

Cheers

Nice work Ric...

 

Do you know a fellow by the name of dexter crowson per chance?

 

Keep up the good work. J

[Ricsydney]

Don't no anyone by that name I'm afraid!

 

There is no planting directly as a result of that tree removal but there is always something going on, check out http://www.trees.gg, the website for the Guernsey men of the trees for more info!

 

Yes lots of work with cranes, I'm not sure how it is in the uk, but I guess it much more practical and cost efficient for using large cranes over here regularly as they never have too far to go, no motorways etc.

 

Thanks

Ric
