I actually took my AT home for a few days, in what I call 'AT appreciation days' seeing as how my boss treats me like garbage.

CV, Really nice job on the Live Oak! in the before pics you can hardly see any growth, that's a LOT of dead wood you removed! Looks great! I love prune jobs like that.

Nice job sir.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Looks like mostly all small cuts. Nice.

 

[802climber]

Thanks, I wish they were all like that.

Stephen vs wisteria in live oak today... should breath better now and less strangulation from the vines.
I may have to work this tree again. The HO is making a couple of decisions on it.
I opened up the centre of the tree some for a view from the bed room window on the second floor.
Husband wants the oak, the wisteria and the leaning tree next to it gone.
She wants the wisteria (that was braided by the previous HO) only so high and possibly supported by what I left of the leaner. She would like to see the oak stay if we can balance the tree and the view.
They will both be there tomorrow. Only a little bit of dead wood on one side of the tree to do if it stays.
Same price either way, is what I told them

Before

After..... Sorry no view pic. House was locked up.

Nice work Stephen, trees always look much happier after vines are cleaned out. Not always the most pleasant of work, though.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yeah.... got tangled up a couple times and they never want to leave the tree.. always catch on something on the way to the ground

This is one of my favorite threads. Great work!

Well done, those vine jobs always cause me to say why did I want this job then the change is so worth the effort.

 

[rumination]

This one was still worse.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I hate jobs like that... you just gotta get your mind right and not get pissed off and frustrated.

 

[rumination]

For sure, it takes patience.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

That was a friggen mess Leon... Well done sir!

You are right Butch.. just have to get the mind right, slow down, breath and keep cutting,.... and pulling.. and cutting..

Looks nice, but that bouganvillea has thorns like fish hooks. Nice to see vines left and managed to fit the objective.

Sorry to disappoint you Guy, but that was just a halfway done picture. The tree was a removal. Severe basal decay. Honestly, once all of that heavy vine was removed the tree was probably strong enough to support itself for another couple years, but I was just the hit man on that job. The decision was not mine to make.

What an awesome thread! Just joined the tree house and really enjoyed going through this thread. Thanks to whoever started it and to everyone that shared before & after shots!

 

[bonner1040]

Leon, I'm crushed! But what makes that decay "Severe"? Who assessed the risk, Chicken Little?

[MasterBlaster]

Nice reduction!
