Half live-half dead maple that belongs to the custy's neighbor. Large dead trunks are out of frame. Glove at the base. I had a dead hemlock dismantle to finish my run of work before Spring Break... homeowner cleanup. KISS...one three-strand, 3 sling and biner combos, and wedges and a topping...

This thread doesn't show up when I press New Posts! This is a black locust after, what I call, Topping Restoration Pruning, last spring, for some new homeowners. They decided it is not the right thing for the location. A greenhouse, instead. Tight rigging today into sucker growth...

Drill-tested a rotting willow in an HOA greenbelt. Throwlined a decent TIP, advanced higher to about 90' in this doug-fir and sent my rope and down for a base- tie. Grabbed my spurs and pieced out the willow, down to one trunk. Didn't have a hole for a top and didn't want to climb higher in...

Yes. I have a hitch plate in addition to the BMG receiver.

End of phase 1. Now, coffee, then going to look at a snow-broken willow at an established customer's house that I've already stabilized.

Most of my work is inaccessible to lifts. I considered renting a 67' Haulotte lift. I don't know how much it would have helped. Definitely some. I've considered it in the past. Not ruled out. Most of my work is in "cottage country". One driveway, at a regular customer's home is hard to...

I used a throw line to set the rigging line as a support line, then advanced my SRS line out at the end rigging point, using a second rigging rope to piece out the end of the limb in 4 pieces from over the closest tank and fence. Surprising how much rope walking was swaying the fir top!

The tip-side of the rubbing trunk. Rigging the two halves of the fork past the rub that are above one another. The small branch to the right was a freebie/free-drop. Ay, there's the rub. (Anyone? Anyone?) Today's job, get deeper into the oak crown. No groundworker tomorrow... she's back...

Full crowns, truthfully. Hardly any dead at all. I pruned them 10 years ago.

We had some wet snow followed by rain to saturate the snow, increasing the weight. This is the school near my house where my daughter went to kindergarten. The first oak broke near the ground (10' circumference) and missed the exposed propane pipe by inches, grazing the end of the tank...

From what I saw, a single backcut with full -gap facecut worked better than a single backcut with a standard facecut. It would be interesting to try multiple back cuts, especially in a controlled setting with a single back cut "control".

Full gap faces for hinge flexibility. Bored then horizontal kerfs, not horizontals and beat out face-cut block...very straight grained, no spiral grain. Gutted hinge for easier pulling and reducing barberchair potential. No MA needed. Pretension on the rigging line and a pull line for one or...

They will resprout. I don't have a Chemical Applicator license. I used to apply herbicides during my conservation work days for invasive plants. I don't want to hassle with the license and any regulations. Small sprouts are easy to maintain and sometimes provide privacy. Keeping the...
