Forest Keeper
Treemoval
Bigger removal job today. On the slate: 3 Siberian Elms, American Elm, Box Elder, Ailanthus. Really can't figure out the motivation for investing big $$$$ in all the tree work, when there are at least 4 other additional removals that should be done, plus trimming, and the house needs some serious renovations. At least they won't have anything growing over their home anymore, might give them a chance at a bigger back deck & usable back yard space. We brought out the chip truck and log grapple truck, also an additional ground support/CDL driver so we could be 100% effective, even dumping a load of chips and a load of logs mid-day (no wood worth keeping).
Removals went well, first Siberian was a clear drop. 2nd Siberian had to fit between 2 fence posts (fence itself removed by owner). Nailed it in the slot. American elm was next. A beauty, but probably at the end of its useful life anyway. Slow drop right in the slot between the fence posts and between 2 trees. Poison ivy vines everywhere at the base of all the last trees made it difficult to function at full speed. Meanwhile, I wrecked down the box elder out front (just a 4' trunk with big shoots coming off, one folded former leader. I chunked it up with the 395, then stump ground it. We'll be back in the morning for the Ailanthus, should take us the morning for dropping & grinding it.
