I hate seeing trees get cut down...it looks so empty now.

Was that the client?

 

[murphy4trees]

ya, that was the client..
I think he wanted to leave the trunk cause he loved the tree so much and would rather have a 10' stump than nothing.. neighbor was rightly putting a lot of pressure on him for the removal as big dead limbs were hanging over their house and driveway with young kids in the house..

 

[ropensaddle]

Nice drop Murph but they are bitter sweet easier to take down but peta on cleanup imo. I at times rope when seemingly unnecessary to keep from having so much raking. It was a fine drop with little ruffle of the adjacent bush looked like a nice hood too

Some folks around here in Pittsburgh ask for a high stump so it can be carved into something at a later date.

 

[murphy4trees]

I AM with you on that rope.. nasty dead pines and such that will shatter into a million pices in the back yard suck... so I lower for that and often just to prevent divets in a nice lawn..

most of this mess ended up in the street which combined with an open body dump truck and the skid loader made for a relatively easy clean up

"just to prevent divots in a nice lawn".

Lol!

We all know you a lawn torturing maniac murph.. more power to ya though!

 

[murphy4trees]

that all depends..
mostly on the customer.. sometimes on the job.. I haven't paid for topsoil in years..

 

[Rudedog]

You always have great videos.

I was just teasing ya murph.

It only makes sense to worry about dirt and grass to a certain point.. I've gotten real good at topsoiling and seeding over the years.

And lets face it, who hasn't laughed when a pole of wood goes into someones nice lawn like a giant sprear! #### you lawn!

 

[murphy4trees]

When they go in deep enough, and get pulled down sideways, the low end will kick up a small mountain of dirt.. have just re-cut and ground the stump in non lawn areas.. Skid loader does a nice job of picking out the toothpicks..

Don't you think the 'I AM's are just a little blasphemous? Just kidding and nice to see a fellow christian! I enjoy your videos, much thanks.

That always makes me giggle to see a branch "replant" itself in the yard , and then around wrap up time it never fails that I fall in the hole walking backwards with a rake ... Nice video Murph I hope you didn't chip that tree , looks like a new set of blades there for sure ..
