Picked up this little gem in the heart of the city. Pulled permits at city hall yesterday. Absolutely zero access on a small one way street. The patio is fully enclosed, and cannot take down the walls on the left or right. Both sumacs need to be cut up and carried through the little door at the bottom of the stairs through a 10 ft hall way out to the street for chipping and round loading.

I wouldn't of walked away from that ...... I woulda ran ! That job just looks like anything less a nightmare .
 
Interesting ? Bikinis and yoga pants are Interesting .......that looks like a mutha ####er !

Well my fellas have had it light this season with the luck of the draw on short brush drags and utilizing the bobcat. This will just give them a refresher course in ball busting knock down drag out clean up ops! The trees themselves will come down easily enough.

I'm thinking you should be able to sneak that sweet new bucket in there and workem down !!:dizzy::redface::redface:
 
Getting a crane with enough stick to do this job would cost an ungodly amount of money given the specific location, sutting down an entire street, police details, TMP's permits etc... I'm already at 4 grand and that's with me, two helpers and a chip truck!

Nice score I wish I could get 4 k for that looks like it can be done in a long day :cheers:
 
I went and looked at 28 pines trying to crunch numbers to come out ok and still be middle ground bid likely be 300 per stump. I hate too many really unless it can be done in winter! Oh well 9 k for a week or so work ain't too shabby but likely the low bid is going to be 4k
 
Then I secured a huge hackbury for 1700 in winter, discounted it 500 as customer hated the 2200 and I saw him sink when I said it, so I offered winter discount!
 
Lol.. hey look, Dumbo liked your post!! You must really be getting somewhere now!!:laugh:

And I could accomplish more treework in a straight up coma, then either of you two bozos on your best day. Just saying.

I assume that you know I read things like that and crack the #### up ! I seen what OL MDS can do in a day , and I would say you are most proficient after 6pm at producing empties and talking mad #### on here ! But good for you for trying to create a mythical creature of tree care

Lol. You're a clumsy bozo with humorous looking equipment. You wouldn't make it one year up here. Just saying.

If you were my competition I would have an advantage just showing up for work sober at 7am ! Keep talking #### though Paul it's great reading for sure ! And I am sure you are the King of Litchfield ..... The jewel of the northeast !
 
I try not to laugh and point at you when you stumble about with excuses of why we haven't seen even so much as a shovel pic of your operation .

Hey, MDS says some funny #### sometimes and I can't help it. I emailed you a few pics a while back and you never posted them. I figured you would look around on the web and find some junk and post it claiming it was a pic I sent you.
 
Thats the sort of work we do most of the time. It's all tight access residential, in the city. It's all over property, tiny little back yards, sometimes you can touch both sides of the yard with your hands at the same time. We've taken some trees out through houses, taken some out through elevators. Some of the town houses are only 12' wide. Seriously. There's no parking, tiny streets, one way streets, no room to stack. You've got to get creative. And you've got to put cones out a day or two before to secure space. Then stack where you can, and do drive by chippings 4 or 5 times to get the tree done ;-)

I look at the stuff you guys mostly seem to do stateside, and you just get so much access! Enormous yards! Minis! we've got to buck branches up to 3' lengths sometimes, just to get them out. Did a property clearance on a gum last week where the access was a foot wide. Two lower branches off, took us 3 hours to get the job done! 15 minutes climbing, and 2 and a half hours getting it out of there! Had to buck that stuff up to nothing, then kind of throw/pass it down the 1 foot wide side access that was 20 feet long.
