Just thought i'd send a few pics of a removal from earlier this week. I had a customer that was tired of having a bare dirt backyard and wanted a Pine and Mangnolia removed. The Magnolia had been butchered about 8-10 years ago as you can see from the pics - it was turned into a giant stick of broccoli! Sorry i didn't get any pics before starting the job - i had already removed 2 sides of the Magnolia before taking any pics.
The job was in fairly tight quarters with a house to the south, garage to the east, power lines to the north and some crepe myrtles to the west! You can see from the top of the pine the layout of the yard! The pine had a nice catface as you can see from the one pic, but was slick for over 65 feet. Ended up being right at 95 feet tall with a 26"dbh.
Yes - I know I left the stubs a little long, but there were several chains and wires in many of the crotches, so i just cut them long!
Here's a view of both with an idea of their proximity:
