Trees you've cut

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

Is there a reason the ivy does not get poisoned? Especially on the trees near buildings? Is it killing the trees?

No one even knows its there. And the ones that do dont give a fcuk.
Country full of ignoramuses

Another hedge destroyed.
We had to drive 2 hours to this job.
A neighbour of mine works for an in house care company. They have houses all over the country. They couldn't get any local contractors to take on this job (I wonder why ) so we ended up having the pleasure.

This is what happens when you dont bother to trim a leylandii hedge.










The people in the house beside this place were worried about the trees falling in on top of their garage.


View from within in the hedge. I really fcuking hate this kind of work, it enrages me.





The finished product. This hedge is fcuked, it will never ever be green again.





This could all have been avoided if some useless lazy b4stard had gotten off his 4rse and trimmed the fcuking hedge once a year. But no, now he gets a dead leylandii hedge.


I made a new friend though so it wasn't all bad.





2 hours drive there, 5 hours work, 2 hours drive home. I charged a lot more than I normally do for this kind of work.

Disgusting

We cut this tree along with maybe ten other smaller ones.
We got paid and got to keep 70% of the timber. Its nice when that happens.


There was a lot of muck in the main crotch of the big ash.





Fully loaded, more like overloaded. Sunk the trailer to the sideboards in a wet spot, had to unload it to get it out and then re load it.





Finally hot it home. Had to quarter the bigger rings to be able to lift them. My next investment is going to be a bigger tractor and hydraulic log trailer.





We each got three 10x6 trailer loads out of this job. 2 of the loads were big high sided trailer loads, 1 each. Lot of timber in that load.

Escallonia hedge. Grows well by the sea. Can tolerate salt, but not frost.

Cleaned up a White Oak that had rot at the base for our neighbors just north of us. They have some HUGE trees there because the previous owner was a conservationist and there had been no timber cut there for sure since before the 1930's and probably many years prior to that. The new owners timbered out 550 Oaks that were all greater than 4' DBH. We get called for the "yard trees" and dangerous stuff that wasn't commercially viable for the mills to bid on.

We cleaned up what we could safely, then rolled it away from the creek to finish breaking it down and hauling it off.


I brought home half of the wood. My other neighbor that helped got the other half of the wood. Unfortunately on the other side of the main stem it was open and half rotten and no saw logs were able to be saved.

Sounds like a fun, well paying job.

Another fcuking leylandii.
This one was slap bang in the middle of sligo city centre, surrounded by terraced town houses. (Sligo would only be a small town by US standards).





The absolute boll0cks that owned the tree said he'd planted it there. Did you ever hear such raw, uninhibited stupidity?

He also said he'd recieved demands letters from neighbour's lawyers to remove it.

The pr1ck must not have had his head half screwed on right at all because he thought if it fell that HE would get an insurance claim out of it. Its everyone else who would be claiming against him for damages.


Anyways, it was another crazy rigging show.






Everything had to be rigged down and then thrown across a wall to get it out to the chipper.






Despite his daftness the customer was a big help to us. He spent the day watching, asking lots of stupid questions, generally getting in the way, doing risky sh1t with his own chainsaw and annoying my head with constant sh1te talk. Here he is watching aaron chunk down the main stem.






He finally fcuked off and we were able to finish the job in peace.






I wish I had done the climbing on this job so I wouldn't have had to listen to your man's never ending verbal diarrhea. A nice man and he paid us well but he was just very hard to listen to, it was like baby sitting a 4 year old.

Got a friend of mine to help us out with this cypress hedge.
He has a hoist and I couldn't bare the thought of climbing this sh1te.








It was a rickety old thing. Not exactly the safest, but it got the job done.





We have a load of small pines to remove on this job and some ash die back trees to do with the shears.


Sizwill worked a treat on this pine.

A couple Cottonwoods for a friend. 40" and 25"

Big ugly Norway spruce.
Covered in ivy.
Right beside medium voltage lines.





Aaron cut her high so she would rest on her branches and not crush the fence.
It worked.

 

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

Topped this cedar.
It was leaning hard for the house.
It had ivy but it was only really thick at the top where it was getting enough light.








Good old ms400 with egan's exhaust and spikes.





Check out how tight the grain is.
