Have a look at this prune

[TreeLackey]

Client contacted me about removing their tree. We have had ice and high winds here for the past little bit and they are concerned that if the tree broke it would damage the house. It's got a decent lean over the hydro lines to the house and if it went, it would take out the wires and hit the corner of their house as well as the neighbors. Anyways they had the tree pruned in November last year (not by me) , I'm no expert on pruning at all but I thought everyone here may like to have a look.

Pretty ugly job of it, seems to me. But I'm no expert on pruning either. My better developed skills lie elsewhere .

I am an expert and that is just plain ugly.

 

[Burnham]

Thought so, Brett. Good to have knowledgeable confirmation.

 

[Mellow]

I see cuts like that and think... why didn't they finish?

 

[Burnham]

Exactly.

hahaha..."plain ugly" sounds like it is NOT on the good side of the pruning spectrum.

 

[TreeLackey]

I asked the client who did it and why they weren't contacting them about the removal and she said just look at the job they did. We both had a little chuckle. That kind of pruning is what you would expect fro. The hydro company here

The words "butt-ugly" come to mind.

You guy shouldn't be so harsh. It takes a lot of skill and focus to make those cuts off of an extension ladder using a Home Depot pole saw that's tied off to a skidsteer bucket.

[SeanKroll]

IDK, that look more like Tweeky McTweek and the Itch and Scratchy brother. You think they could afford a skidsteer for their ladder, I mean 'elevator' for their 'aerial-lift'?

 

[TreeLackey]

One plus I noticed is that they didn't spike up the tree

Liontailed: Higher risk now than before the work.

Liontailing around me seems to have replaced topping as a means of abusing trees. People seem to want to turn their trees into palm trees.
