Before & After Tree Care

[Fiddler]

Sweet view & no snow. Nice!

I'm now suffering from Jobsite envy.

Long sleeve tee shirt weather .... Crazy...

Nice work, beautiful trees too

Here are a few before and after of some pruning I did within the last year..

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's been ages since I was able to prune with my feet on the ground. Cool!

 

[Szajer]

I really love pruning ornamentals. Everything I do is done with hand pruners, pole pruners and hand saw.

Nice work!

 

[Szajer]

Thanks, but---
I learned from the best. Whatever I know, was on account that my first employer was a class act.

 

[MasterBlaster]

No need to quote the previous post every time you post.

Very Nice lacing. I like it... Well done

 

[MasterBlaster]

What is lacing?

 

[cory]

Great looking pruning there!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

What is lacing?

Look at a piece of lace, compare it to a tree or shrub structure... It's a common layman's term here.

Szajer, nicely done. So who was your first boss?

86' black oak here, clearing from house. One branch removed, others reduced.

Nice Szaj!

Curious, how long would it take you to do those big trees? Do you climb or bucket?

I really love the quiet pruning with hand tools.
Yesterday was simply beautiful here, sunny, cool and no wind, out in the country on a farm property, all handsaw work deadwooding the interiors of some large cupressus...we had Vivaldi playing on the truck stereo...sublime.

Nice Szaj!

The longest I've ever spent pruning was 6hrs straight. Everything here in Fla. an average of 3-4hrs.

I've never been in a bucket, though I would've loved to.. My old boss had kicked around the idea of getting one, but all our work was mostly in the back yards or inaccessible areas of client property.
Pole saw is my sword when pruning. Chainsaw for the larger in reach limbs, handsaw for some cuts but mostly pulling cut brush and debris from my way.

Pole saw is my sword when pruning.

WORD!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I try to never use a polesaw when trimming.

I started mine twice yesterday on a 4.5 hour prune. I like quiet days like that.

Before and after of the blue oak I had wanted to do for some time. The HO is quite happy with the results. This oak is right off the side of their driveway plain sight. Can't wait to see how it leafs out over the next couple years.

I like trying to get after pictures also after a fall job leafs out.
She is leafing nicely with out the parasitic goings on of the mistletoe.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Beautiful tree! You saved it!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

The canopy should be a tad fuller next year...
There are days when I feel so privileged to be able to do this work

 

[RopeArmour]

Great job! Happy days in a trees like these.

Great job, Stephen.
I saw a linden with as much mistletoe in it in Schweiz yesterday.
You don't have to go much south of here before it becomes a pest, and here it is a rarity.Weird.
