He got what he wanted.

View attachment 287204View attachment 287203I was bidding a prune job yesterday in the same neighborhood where I bid a job last year.

I didn't win the job last year, the guy had a couple Silver Maples that had been previously topped and he wanted them "cut back" again. I gave him an anti-topping brochure, explained to him the problems with topping, advised that I could try to restore the trees or cut them down.... Nothing worked. I walked away from it. :bang:


Here's what they look like now- It was getting dark last night and it's a cell phone camera, but you can get the point. This is probably the worst hack job I've ever seen. Notice that his "expert" left one of the major leads- I guess he did have sense enough not to drop the top on the 3phase from his ladder.

I would love if he called me back to bid the removals...but I wouldn't count on it.

country hack woods, estates..lol

 

[Goose IBEW]

I can't believe someone would actually pay for work like that.

 

[Nemus Talea]

Ha! An unfinished removal. That's all a "topping" prune is anyway.

 

[mckeetree]

There is an outfit here called Lupe's Tree Service. Every trim job they do turns out like that.

 

[ducaticorse]

LOL, looks like they brought in an xcavator and snapped those things off? WTF were they using to make those cuts???

 

[CalTreeEquip]

Wow, that's really bad. If someone pulled that crap around here I don't think he'd make it out of town with his equipment in one piece.

home owner most likely did it himself.

 

[CNBTreeTrimming]

Someone near me works like that. No maple or elm is safe, even a few oaks.

How does that song go? "Take the money and run!"

 

[ropensaddle]

Seeing that makes you wonder if he got zapped cause even the hacks here at least get cuts level or rounded !

 

[sgreanbeans]

Looks like your in the QC,LOL!

Guy was like 80... I doubt it

 

[woodchuck357]

Hey, age is just a number

Guy was like 80... I doubt it

I'm almost there, and plan on climbing years after I get there!

 

[ShaneLogs]

Looks like a hacked up job to me!

Hey, more power to you, brother... I don't plan to be in any trees any where near that age. That is, if I make it to that age.
