Smoked ash cleanup efficiently?

[klaibs27]

Alright, as we all know, there are PLENTY of ash trees that are completely dead and brittle that need to be taken down. I'm not a climber so all of my falls are the whole trees with no lowering nice and slow. This means that when the trees hit the ground, they explode into millions of pieces. Then when you walk through the debris, the smaller branches completely explode even more into a million more pieces. Is there an efficient way to clean these up? I'm a one-man shop and it took forever this past weekend.

Thanks in advance!

Just have to charge enough to make it efficient. I haven't found a way to clean them up that doesn't suck.

I did exactly that on my estimate today with 5 smaller ash trees. I also requested the customer cut their grass before the work happens so the raking is a bit easier.
