This one is a bit longer than most but I think you will enjoy it. We have speedlining, we have the drone and we have a crane! Kalen does the job and gets his first crane removal.
What a job! It was hard to imagine that the crane that took that tree down could fold up into such a (relatively) small machine. The control you guys had was just beautiful.
of ALL your vids, this one, for me, brought back all the memories of time spent in the redwoods of Humboldt County. even seasoned climbers elsewhere in the country are unaware of the challenges these trees possess. working a tree of this caliber, without a crane, next to a home, was an incredible expieriance for me. i was lucky to have some of the best for mentors. guys that cared about safety, AND the trees. after i was able to handle jobs like this, i thought i was Superman. of course, i was quickly humbled. trees this magnificent are memories that i share with the children of my family with awestruck wonder, and without ANY exaggeration needed. thank you Blair, i will use your work here to describe mine for our future generations of ours.
Baron Clime I need to keep attracting more subscribers and the “exciting” work vids bring them in. Hopefully, they stay when it becomes clear that I’m really an educator.
Nice photography Blair. I was starting to despair that you had left your drone behind, but lo and behold, some great aerial shots! Sad to see the tree go, but a really good safe job by you and your team.
A nice & safe job....well done..!! And...the Japanese Maple looks real nice now. I really like the different types of Japanese Maples...they have some cool leaves..!!
Another great vid and terrific job done. In UK we can't use drones near populated areas, so nice touch seeing great drone aerial shots to see perspective of how big the tree was. You're gonna get some nice boards out the lumber too!
The first time I watched you extract a large redwood I was green with envy as I saw the timber and turning opportunities go bye-bye. Now that I know that you do mill the logs and there is minimal waste in chips etc. I'm still green with envy!
I was very happy that there was hardly any damage to anything. Canoe? humm. Never thought about carving out a canoe. With a chainsaw, that might be an adventure. Still be pretty heavy though. I'll stick to my old Gruman Aluminum.
It would be way too heavy yes... but I watched a demo done in South America with a huge tree and the vessel resulting was long enough for 8 people... I just thought all that wonderful redwood, what a journey to carve, hew, adz and of course chainsaw... better than fence boards! Still laughing though.
Wow it isnt until you see the drone shots you get a real perspective on how tall that tree is. And how close to the house, if it fell you could loose the roof on two or thee houses. Thanks for sharing.
Just for fun, I wish to note-- For those of us who watched the Home Improvement show, at least half the time that Tim or Al put a ladder up, you could see by the end of the rungs, it was backward. So I always check the side whenever I see a ladder go up. For the ladder and the whole job, Good Work! Also this is how I would take down the redwood in the complex, that you asked us about. What was the diameter of the stump? That would pretty much be DBH.
Your climber was on some pretty small wood at the top of that Redwood. Nice work. How was he able to make that cut at the base though without any wedges? Tension from the crane?
Love that mandolin, reminds me of an uncle that played just like that ! Man, that was a WHOPPER of a stick, many board feet of lumber there ! So was I in the ballpark ? 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Did my first crane removal on Wednesday! Sooooooooooooo much fun! 45'' dbh American elm causing damage to the house, 120' crown spread, 80' tall! I LOVE CRANE WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would love see some milling videos of this thing! Question: Is the wood chips you getting from this could be used in a garden? or does it need to be mulched up better?(I think i have access to this type from light company) Great video as always Mr Blair!
Jean Fox they are still in log form but yes, there will be value in the lumber. I’m building a campground on my property so the wood will be turned into decks and picnic tables.
❤😊 this one I'm going to watch Polaris from one of your videos 4 years ago it's called Big redwood removal with a chainsaw I'll watch that tonight thank you looks like a good one thank you.
Are you leaving all those nubs for places to stand to relieve spur arch pressure? If so, ever tried lineman’s plates? I like them better than leaving places to get my climbing line caught on.
GSCHG VT this was my son’s first crane removal. I told him to cut them but he felt more comfortable. A few hang ups and he started to get it. We all start somewhere.
Awesome. Now if that drone had some real ooomph , it could lift up and remove the whole tree and set it down in a far safer location for cut up and disposal. At least the people can put a wooden table top and seating around the stump and have a picnic table on which to repose.
Hey Blair, as part of my degree in arboriculture i've done a project on implementing the use of drones for tree surveys and inspections. They make great footage for removals and climbing, but do you think that they have their place in the consultancy side of arboriculture? They could potentially remove the need for climbing inspections, not completely, but could certainly speed things up, particularly in a forestry sense. What do you think, have you took on any surveys using your drone? Sam
arboristBlairGlenn I just got back from Santa Barbra on vacation and it’s just awesome to me but house prices were unreal. I was raised in Modesto until junior high. I love it out there. Except for the obvious downsides.
arboristBlairGlenn. I climb also, but not as much as I used to. I do have all my limbs, I assure you, including ten almost intact toes. I love the lumber industry and I'm in the process of building another larger mill. Lot's of oak and cherry here that gets chopped into firewood or pallets. Shameful.
That first drone view made my knees weak, I thought it was the climber looking down. What a rush. As for commenting on removal, it only makes sense when they are growing in the wrong place.
084, an old one that I had rebuilt. New piston and cylinder. Doesn't cut like an 088. Almost dropped the coin last week but 2500 is a bit steep right before tax day.
arboristBlairGlenn don’t do it. I have 2 088/880 and 1 084 they are the same CC saws and the 880 won’t keep a long bar wet like the 84. That 84 has the thumb override to dump oil on a long bar the 880 is chocked down from exhaust to Oiler to carb Adjustments. If someone told you the 88 would put cut the 84 there wrong if that’s a personal experience you have had then the 88 was modified or the 84 is not running correctly. Correction I have 2 088s and 1 880 and 1 084 2 090s also but that’s a different animal as you know. If you want a vid of an 880 vs a 084 before you drop your hard earned money I can put a 36-42-48-60 in bar and new chain on and make a cell phone vid for you. Those are the bars you can choose from of course I don’t want to do a vid with each. As always thanks for the vid.
James Treeman you have 2 090’s? Wow, still run? Thanks for the thoughts on the 88. I wish they would just stick to what worked best. My 020’s are getting tired and I don’t like the new “improved” replacements
arboristBlairGlenn yes both run or ran several years back the last time I tried to run them. Both are early versions with no anti vib. One is on display at the Stihl dealer the other hanging on my shop. Both have 60 in bars with 404 chains. 020/200t is a fine saw the 201t was a big let down. I bought several 200s when it was evident that the newer ones where coming up short. I think I have 8 running and one smashed.
Living in the woods with lots of gigantic oaks, I love trees...but not near my house. I’ve learned to live with them, even after losing the back of the house when a neighbor’s tree fell. Ideally neighborhoods would not be built on these giant trees. There are bound to be problems sooner or later
People need to understand the urban forest and the challenges that comes along with it. Unfortunately theres disadvantage that come with humans liveing along side trees . For trees and humans
Were the base and roots to remain? Why not remove them as well by using some kind of root killer, otherwise the roots might continue to grow... wouldn't they?
Just a tip cut a v or gob out to help the crane driver only a small one helps him crack it yes I have done crane work many times hundreds for the council .
Masive tree ive done a job like this tallest tree around same kinda nabor hood to bad the house was planted so close it was a gorgeous redwood i dont have them over hear east
@@arboristBlairGlenn 👍👏🙏👈 thanks Blair for the reply back yeah that was a big one boy you must have got some good wood out of that tree The trunk of that tree was big around after 80 years it's too bad what the developer did to it was a nice looking tree I'm sure that still enjoy the other ones that are on the property and everything I'll check out one of your good videos again thank you.
Never had the chance of enjoying the luxury of a crane, and so seldom a bucket truck in the redwoods. Those opinuated on removals just don't understand the ramifications.
arboristBlairGlenn Thanks. I have a comparable project, a Western Hemlock ( I think ). Which ever way it goes it’ll hurt someone badly, so gotta handle it.
Glenn I would 1. determine how much material I have I hand 2. Which project would be fitting for the wood 3. Could I complete the project with the time I have to complete it to my satisfaction. I have been asked to do feature walls for young adults recently that if the surface was finished correctly cedar would look great. I love to hear what you would use for a feature wall.
No my house was built in 1975 and the oak trees around my house or at least 5/6 ft away from the foundation hopefully I don't get hit with a hurricane or a tornado but the house affected by the trees and the trees are respected by my house I thought about living in a cave on the beach somewhere you know what I'm trying to say
It's thoughtless damage to trees, and reducing the total amount of both greenery and beautiful tall trees that bothers me, your work is never that. Trees grow, live and eventually die. With care from professionals like you hopefully new trees will go (and stay) up to take this one's place. (The bay area in particular is in desperate need of some land use rebalancing. It's not any better to bulldoze the San Joaquin valley and add huge amount of traffic to keep some vague notions of the "bay area's historic character" )
arboristBlairGlenn it's crazy how often I get asked to poison or top or illegally cut a beautiful old growth tree because the homeowner wants a better view or more light
This is the same old story of the right tree in the right place. A tree that grows this big so close to a house is never a good idea. This is architect error writen al over it, as ussual.
In my country people will never let trees grow to that height and size next to homes.usually when trees are about 25 to 30 feet tall growing next to a house they will topped it or remove the whole tree.not much understanding and awareness about tree care here and also certified arborist is very very rare
arboristBlairGlenn well we do have freak storms.usually an area gets hit by a strong storm maybe once a year.hurricanes doesnt happen here but on rare occasions maybe once every 5 years tropical storm may attack some parts of our country.
arboristBlairGlenn most trees that are toppled by wind are diseased tree especially on the roadsite or near construction site.I noticed whenever a construction is being done on the roadsite such as laying water pipes tree roots will be cut and soil around it gets compacted.after a few years the trees will lose vigour and about a decade some of will fall during storm.there is no such thing as 'protecting a tree root during construction ' stuff exist here.also lots of ill informed individuals and landscapers enjoy dumping tonnes of topsoil and mulch near a tree trunk here.those trees usually fall during storm.after inspection you'll find termites munching on trunk which has rotten
He's right. The house is beautiful but the tree is spectacular. The roots were tore up and it was time to go....so sad. Only area in the world that has these gorgeous masterpieces. Well done all around. You guys are A#1. Cheers from illinois.
Seems to me a good boss attracts a good crew. You get what you give.
What a job! It was hard to imagine that the crane that took that tree down could fold up into such a (relatively) small machine. The control you guys had was just beautiful.
This was a fun one! Being up that high was awesome and Phil did great with the crane.
Kalen Glenn
Week done sir! If I may ask, what saw did you you use and do you reccomend it?
Good job son.
A very majestic tree Blair. Very good that you are able to mill it. Well done!
Amritt Villa thank you Amritt
of ALL your vids, this one, for me, brought back all the memories of time spent in the redwoods of Humboldt County. even seasoned climbers elsewhere in the country are unaware of the challenges these trees possess. working a tree of this caliber, without a crane, next to a home, was an incredible expieriance for me. i was lucky to have some of the best for mentors. guys that cared about safety, AND the trees. after i was able to handle jobs like this, i thought i was Superman. of course, i was quickly humbled. trees this magnificent are memories that i share with the children of my family with awestruck wonder, and without ANY exaggeration needed. thank you Blair, i will use your work here to describe mine for our future generations of ours.
I'm not far behind you. I'm 64 now and not sure how long I can keep up this pace. Glad it brought back memories.
Nice photos at the end! Especially the backlit one.
Great video, i would love to see more removal jobs whether big or small, i always find them interesting and informative
bodybuilderatwork - As a bodybuilder, you might enjoy this kind of work. Lots of weight to lift!
Good job. I enjoy the work videos as much as the others. Again nice job and thanks for sharing as always.
Baron Clime I need to keep attracting more subscribers and the “exciting” work vids bring them in. Hopefully, they stay when it becomes clear that I’m really an educator.
arboristBlairGlenn I understand. No sweat. Thanks for all the videos though I do enjoy all of them. Keep educating us all. Insert smile here. Lol
Great drone shots - obviously need a head for heights in this line of work!
I wish I could capture sound (of quality), with the drone but the noise of the props kills it.
Nice photography Blair. I was starting to despair that you had left your drone behind, but lo and behold, some great aerial shots! Sad to see the tree go, but a really good safe job by you and your team.
I really have to think about getting it out. My head is always thinking about the job first and video or drone stuff second.
Nicely done. No damage anywhere. I'm impressed.
userunavailable3095 I was also surprised. Usually at least one hole in the lawn.
A nice & safe job....well done..!! And...the Japanese Maple looks real nice now. I really like the different types of Japanese Maples...they have some cool leaves..!!
marbleman52 it will be interesting to see how it reacts to the increase in light.
Spectacular tree! Coast redwoods have such magnificent foliage-
one of the coolest videos thus far!
road2stamfordbridge thanks, I was afraid it was too long.
Excellent music sir!!!
From a program I use called Smart Sound. Look it up. great tool.
Job well done! Thanks for the video.
Duncan MacKenzie Thanks Duncan
You have very interesting and informative videos ,and a new subscriber from the redwood forest.
You are lucky to live in that special part of the world.
Another great vid and terrific job done. In UK we can't use drones near populated areas, so nice touch seeing great drone aerial shots to see perspective of how big the tree was. You're gonna get some nice boards out the lumber too!
StevieCTree I need permission to fly over private property until I exceed 140 feet.
The first time I watched you extract a large redwood I was green with envy as I saw the timber and turning opportunities go bye-bye. Now that I know that you do mill the logs and there is minimal waste in chips etc. I'm still green with envy!
Earl Rumble sorry
Nice work. Your team works well together.
I trust my life to each and every one of these men---Lucy too!
Great watching PRO"S do a great job under tight circumstances, I'd love to see a hollowed out redwood dory or canoe. LOL Thanks for sharing.
I was very happy that there was hardly any damage to anything. Canoe? humm. Never thought about carving out a canoe. With a chainsaw, that might be an adventure. Still be pretty heavy though. I'll stick to my old Gruman Aluminum.

Another amazing high-value job! You must have high net-worth customers. Good for you!
Countlur Pak lots of money in this valley
Wow! just amazing Frigging WOW!!! the cutter got no fear.
Wow it isnt until you see the drone shots you get a real perspective on how tall that tree is. And how close to the house, if it fell you could loose the roof on two or thee houses. Thanks for sharing.
OMG gorgeous amazing, I hope it got made into a lot of neat things. so cool, interesting, love that color.
Just for fun, I wish to note-- For those of us who watched the Home Improvement show, at least half the time that Tim or Al put a ladder up, you could see by the end of the rungs, it was backward. So I always check the side whenever I see a ladder go up.

Thanks Martin
Very nice job!
Mitchel's All Season thank you
Great work with your boys... Good days work out... 😉 from the UK 🇬🇧
Squirrel Sniper yeah, we had fun
Another great video (and removal). I like the longer ones. Is the stump being left as is, or will it be ground up?
80% sure it will be ground out but the wife of the client said "Maybe a fairy house---" We'll see.
rumor has it....
the stump grinding began as soon as this video was posted...
and Blair is still grinding it today!!
:-)
Love that mandolin, reminds me of an uncle that played just like that !
Man, that was a WHOPPER of a stick, many board feet of lumber there !
So was I in the ballpark ? 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Mill job coming up!
I like the shot of the creeper, cute little guys. As always, well done video!
buillioncubes don’t always see them
That's kinda weird they don't seem too shy!
Did my first crane removal on Wednesday! Sooooooooooooo much fun! 45'' dbh American elm causing damage to the house, 120' crown spread, 80' tall! I LOVE CRANE WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Rosa this was Kalen’s first crane climb as well.
Nice video, respect for you and your work sir.
wyoming prepper I too am a prepper
Great job. Drone shots were incredible.
PS: Is there a reason to leave the tree with just one tippy-top branch before removal the next day?
agun17 just Kalen being Kalen.
Blair one of your very best.👆🤛👍👍💥
Amazing ! !
shirley moyer Thanks, hope you like my other videos too!
I do enjoy seeing a job well done
Thanks, stressful week indeed. There was an Oak removed which will be in another video
Nice job was this the tree you asked about a week ago how would you do it ? as I said clime it but for the lage logs much easyer with the crain
Richard Sydenham no, different Tree. Don’t have other bid yet
Would love see some milling videos of this thing!
Question: Is the wood chips you getting from this could be used in a garden? or does it need to be mulched up better?(I think i have access to this type from light company)
Great video as always Mr Blair!
Jonathan Knighton we used all the nice red chips in the landscape.
Wow! That was very cool. Thanks for posting. What was the final cost for the removal? Were you able to sell any of the lumber?
Jean Fox they are still in log form but yes, there will be value in the lumber. I’m building a campground on my property so the wood will be turned into decks and picnic tables.
Awesome video brother
That was a fun job
That was indeed a big-ass tree, and a great video.
The bigger they are the harder they fall
But this one didn't fall at all! It floated up into the air! 😀
How tall was this tree? My guess is 120.
Jamal Harris I measured with the drone.122! Good guess!
arboristBlairGlenn more like 75 😉
What would it take for me to get a piece of that redwood about 1.5" x 6" x 4-6' long? Just a rough cut piece.
Where do you live?
❤😊 this one I'm going to watch Polaris from one of your videos 4 years ago it's called Big redwood removal with a chainsaw I'll watch that tonight thank you looks like a good one thank you.
Great job on this tree removal! Hope to see a saw video too from it.
That will come soon I hope because the logs are piled up in my parking area!
Nice work..
Redbird Romannose thank you
Love it wish I could be up in that tree
Good Job Men!!!
nice drone shots
t0msan I do love that toy--, uh, tool!
wow big job thanks for sharing ...
Are you leaving all those nubs for places to stand to relieve spur arch pressure? If so, ever tried lineman’s plates? I like them better than leaving places to get my climbing line caught on.
GSCHG VT this was my son’s first crane removal. I told him to cut them but he felt more comfortable. A few hang ups and he started to get it. We all start somewhere.
Job Well Done.
Thank you
Awesome. Now if that drone had some real ooomph , it could lift up and remove the whole tree and set it down in a far safer location for cut up and disposal. At least the people can put a wooden table top and seating around the stump and have a picnic table on which to repose.
Hey Blair, as part of my degree in arboriculture i've done a project on implementing the use of drones for tree surveys and inspections.

Sam
Sam Watkiss I do believe there is good usage for drones but I’m not yet licensed to charge to use one.
Looks like a beautiful place to live and work.
James Treeman pros and cons. Way too much money here. Cost of living is unbearable. Then again, lots of work at higher pay.
arboristBlairGlenn I just got back from Santa Barbra on vacation and it’s just awesome to me but house prices were unreal. I was raised in Modesto until junior high. I love it out there. Except for the obvious downsides.
Boy looking at the picture the trunk of that redwood must have been fleece four or five feet around at least.
The process you used here is the same process you would have to follow with that big redwood a few video ago. Thanks for sharing.
Mark N close but I think no crane on that one.
We have large oak trees here and some can have a spread of 80 ft. and a diameter of 6 ft. Unusual for northern Illinois.
They look magical
Thommy Two Toes Times Three - interesting name
arboristBlairGlenn. I climb also, but not as much as I used to. I do have all my limbs, I assure you, including ten almost intact toes. I love the lumber industry and I'm in the process of building another larger mill. Lot's of oak and cherry here that gets chopped into firewood or pallets. Shameful.

Douglas Folsom lots of mistakes in planting locations. This was a mistake by a thoughtless developer.
Is that the same crane outfit that pulled out on you where the tree was on the roof? Nice video. Thanks.
Ghil Reese NOT A CHANCE! I’ll never use the other outfit. I would say the name but I don’t want any legal repercussions.
would love to see some of the lumber you milled from that tree !!
Big pile of logs at my house blocking some parking now. Wife say's "get it done please".
More light and moisture for the rest!
I know this is an odd question but does Redwood smell good?
Wayne Essar smells like hard work😊
smells like...
Victory!
Like teen spirit.
If you were not interested in saving the logs, would it be more profitable to lower the tree round by round with a rope?
Where did the other tree trunks 13:05 come from when you brought the top down?
Do you mean logs instead of trucks?
That is for another video. Yes, we took out two trees with the crane but that would have made this video too long. pretty long as it is!
Erwt 007, Trunks is what I meant to type. Thanks for pointing out the typo.
What is on the side of that crane boom?
Jttv , The jib.
nice job was that 088 on last cut?
084, an old one that I had rebuilt. New piston and cylinder. Doesn't cut like an 088. Almost dropped the coin last week but 2500 is a bit steep right before tax day.
arboristBlairGlenn don’t do it. I have 2 088/880 and 1 084 they are the same CC saws and the 880 won’t keep a long bar wet like the 84. That 84 has the thumb override to dump oil on a long bar the 880 is chocked down from exhaust to Oiler to carb Adjustments. If someone told you the 88 would put cut the 84 there wrong if that’s a personal experience you have had then the 88 was modified or the 84 is not running correctly.
Correction I have 2 088s and 1 880 and 1 084
2 090s also but that’s a different animal as you know.
If you want a vid of an 880 vs a 084 before you drop your hard earned money I can put a 36-42-48-60 in bar and new chain on and make a cell phone vid for you. Those are the bars you can choose from of course I don’t want to do a vid with each.
As always thanks for the vid.
James Treeman you have 2 090’s? Wow, still run? Thanks for the thoughts on the 88. I wish they would just stick to what worked best. My 020’s are getting tired and I don’t like the new “improved” replacements
arboristBlairGlenn yes both run or ran several years back the last time I tried to run them. Both are early versions with no anti vib. One is on display at the Stihl dealer the other hanging on my shop. Both have 60 in bars with 404 chains.
020/200t is a fine saw the 201t was a big let down. I bought several 200s when it was evident that the newer ones where coming up short. I think I have 8 running and one smashed.
That Tree has a lot of board feet in it!!!
Steven Miller I’m milling the lot
Living in the woods with lots of gigantic oaks, I love trees...but not near my house. I’ve learned to live with them, even after losing the back of the house when a neighbor’s tree fell. Ideally neighborhoods would not be built on these giant trees. There are bound to be problems sooner or later
Why leave all the branch stubs??

What happened to the one with the burl??

Luv da View:10:20 VID Mark! Have U ever Thought about a Drone on some shot's 4 Visual Effect's & a different Visual Perspective? Canuck Planker.
People need to understand the urban forest and the challenges that comes along with it. Unfortunately theres disadvantage that come with humans liveing along side trees . For trees and humans
Beautiful video. The music is fine, but I just miss Blair's explanation of the job as it goes on.
I almost narrated it but thought that sometimes it's best to just let the story speak for itself. The next video on the Oak removal, I will narrate.
Were the base and roots to remain? Why not remove them as well by using some kind of root killer, otherwise the roots might continue to grow... wouldn't they?
JD Marksman grind job coming
Kewl. Thanks for replying.
Here is part 2 with the removal of the large Live Oak
ruclips.net/video/MhJ34tMpyro/видео.html
Awesome tree. Too bad it was right next to the house.
How old would you guess this tree is?
About 50
Just a tip cut a v or gob out to help the crane driver only a small one helps him crack it yes I have done crane work many times hundreds for the council .
We work according to what Phil requires. Had a safety talk before we began and he said to do it that way. He like to open the log up from the edge.
Masive tree ive done a job like this tallest tree around same kinda nabor hood to bad the house was planted so close it was a gorgeous redwood i dont have them over hear east
Boy boy if that's your son way up there gee that tree had to be at least almost what 200 ft tall.
Over a hundred but not 200

Be a sorry boy of that saw kicks back out that tree when he's standing holding it at head height 😲
Never had the chance of enjoying the luxury of a crane, and so seldom a bucket truck in the redwoods. Those opinuated on removals just don't understand the ramifications.
Michigan Mister equipment is a game changer but not absolute. We do a lot of backyard jobs “old school”.
lol, close quarters every other job site!!!
Imagine felling a tree like that with no power tools.
Robert Miller I am truly in awe of those men of the past. I think my job is hard!
Costs?
ClayZ 5500 included the crane
arboristBlairGlenn Thanks. I have a comparable project, a Western Hemlock ( I think ). Which ever way it goes it’ll hurt someone badly, so gotta handle it.
Is it just me or did the top of that redwood tree look sparse? Didn't look as full as the rest of the tree.
obs ford diesels inc. that often happens as Redwoods reach for the sky.
I’d love to buy a couple ten foot cants.
El Dorado Woodcraft hobbies what would you do with the wood?
Glenn I would 1. determine how much material I have I hand 2. Which project would be fitting for the wood 3. Could I complete the project with the time I have to complete it to my satisfaction.

When it comes to your son,the apple didn't fall far from the tree !!!!!!!
We have a lot in common. I have good adventures with Kalen

It's thoughtless damage to trees, and reducing the total amount of both greenery and beautiful tall trees that bothers me, your work is never that.
Trees grow, live and eventually die. With care from professionals like you hopefully new trees will go (and stay) up to take this one's place.
(The bay area in particular is in desperate need of some land use rebalancing. It's not any better to bulldoze the San Joaquin valley and add huge amount of traffic to keep some vague notions of the "bay area's historic character" )
I refuse work all the time. If it is a the right decision, I understand and feel good about what I do,. I could not be a logger.
arboristBlairGlenn it's crazy how often I get asked to poison or top or illegally cut a beautiful old growth tree because the homeowner wants a better view or more light
Chop it down !!!!!
You could of carved a big armchair out of the stump in situ
Big Ears coulda, woulda, shoulda?
Your climber didn’t had a safety line..
Teno Garcia of course he did
Didn’t see it I use bright colors for my safety line clime same my friend..
This is the same old story of the right tree in the right place. A tree that grows this big so close to a house is never a good idea. This is architect error writen al over it, as ussual.
Error? or just didn't care?
In my country people will never let trees grow to that height and size next to homes.usually when trees are about 25 to 30 feet tall growing next to a house they will topped it or remove the whole tree.not much understanding and awareness about tree care here and also certified arborist is very very rare
Martin Banks where do you live?
arboristBlairGlenn I am from malaysia
Martin Banks do you have high wind situations that topple large trees?
arboristBlairGlenn well we do have freak storms.usually an area gets hit by a strong storm maybe once a year.hurricanes doesnt happen here but on rare occasions maybe once every 5 years tropical storm may attack some parts of our country.
arboristBlairGlenn most trees that are toppled by wind are diseased tree especially on the roadsite or near construction site.I noticed whenever a construction is being done on the roadsite such as laying water pipes tree roots will be cut and soil around it gets compacted.after a few years the trees will lose vigour and about a decade some of will fall during storm.there is no such thing as 'protecting a tree root during construction ' stuff exist here.also lots of ill informed individuals and landscapers enjoy dumping tonnes of topsoil and mulch near a tree trunk here.those trees usually fall during storm.after inspection you'll find termites munching on trunk which has rotten
Yeah I think they should move the house and rebuild it away from the tree the tree is more beautiful than a stupid house
Gregg KUZILA and I suppose you live in a cave?
He's right. The house is beautiful but the tree is spectacular.
The roots were tore up and it was time to go....so sad. Only area in the world that has these gorgeous masterpieces. Well done all around. You guys are A#1.
