I think one of the biggest weaknesses I see in your day to day is lack of knowledge when it comes to felling trees. I understand you guys weren’t the ones cutting and that things do happen, but I didn’t realize how bad I was until I worked with a professional. Just spending some time in a classroom going over some things and then some time in the field going over proper tree felling techniques and the dos and don’t really makes a difference. This is by no means a dig on you or the guys. I just think it might help your business and bring your guys and equipment home safe everyday. If you watch the guys that do it all the time rarely if ever do you see someone pushing in a tree or having to use a piece of equipment to help them get it down. Love your content, keep up the good work.
Did you notice them standing there behind that tiny tree as it bounced up? Standing behind a tree pushing it while a guy runs a chainsaw below you? Hmm. I have gained respect for tree fellers who are professional and those that are goofballs and unsafe deserve scorn as they set an unsafe example.
The thing i love about this video ( and you say it all the time) is your love for your team and your teams love for the team. I want to raise a team like this one day!
Stan your hitting an electric line remedies me of the time the local electric company came out and miss marked a service line to a condo building we were installing new drainage pipe, running 24" RCP to a new manhole. Doing fine for about 50 feet the bang went the transformer. Call to the Local Electric company turns out they missed the line with their marks by 3' as noted by our white paint that we sprayed the week before. Other time was a HP gas line that was imbedded into the existing sidewalk, we knew the line was there but we thought the line was under the 4" of concrete. That one led to the evacuation of 12 condo units until the gas company came out and killed the line. Lastly we here installing a concrete block wall in an enclosed court yard and the dust set off the fire alarms inside the nursing home. That one was the biggest responce I have ever seen 20 fire trucks and untold ambulances. The GC and site maintenance ate that one, as no one informed us of the problem until the end of the day.
Always keep wedges by your side when doing any cutting. That tree clearly was back leaning and that could have been avoided by having the right tools and cutting knowledge.
Agreed. Even before making a cut they should've seen it was heavy to the back. Plenty of time then to hook up a proper length chain instead of Stan's crew scrambling to save their asses.
When you decide to help a tree fall the way you want it to fall, the first thing you do is determine how much rope, strap, chain you need. Then increase the length by a minimum of 50%, 100% if possible, and then you will be safe and nothing important will be damaged. Those trees are always taller than you think they are and will fall further than you think they will.
We use call before you dig and have our own private guy with Ground penetrating radar and they do a really good job . With that being said we find stuff all the time on the private side that nobody knew about ! You would be shocked with what a couple guys and a rented mini can install on a weekend with no plan whatsoever 😂😂
Stan that scenario had disaster written all over it. Short chain to low and to close. But if you have ever felled or taken down tree's eventually you will break something. Broke front door Glass out of my skid loader with less then 10hrs on it
Hey Stanley you do have a good crew it's hard to find that. But I was just a little puzzled why are they so intense in building a wall while you got a tree service knocking down trees shouldn't you just get the trees out of the way. And then concern yourself with the wall. I didn't see any hard hats on those guys working on the wall That's what I'm getting at. Is a hard hat going to stop a tree know but is it going to stop flying debris from a chainsaw perhaps at least it's a chance. But then again overall wouldn't have just been safer for the tree guys to do their job and then you go build the wall. But then again with that said how'd you guys not been there the tractor keys probably wouldn't have been there the tree probably went the other way. But here I Go again if your guys weren't at their tippy toes maybe they would have slowed down and made better choices cutting the tree, it is their job to know which way the wind is blowing what the weather is like and what is the safest route angle to bring down a tree maybe they got bombarded ? I am not without sin but I did throw the first rock bubba. Good thing everybody came out alive a door is a door.
Tree guys could have temporarily stopped the tree with wedges. Who is paying for the door? No you can't slip a new concrete pipe into place. Glass is usually flat so replace the glass with plexiglass. It is much cheaper and more durable. Did it on a John Deere Gator
My friend father died of high voltage power he was working in the power came up and killed him instantly so be very very careful around overhead or in the ground
If those trees were slated for removal they should have been down and gone before your crew ever showed up. That said they weren't doing any harm that I could see other than some root invasion into the retaining area. Oh well, can't see it from my house!
I could tell by first glance them tree guys aren't much of tree guys. Any decent tree guy would know anytime pulling a tree you have to be a minimum of 1.5x the height of the tree. The chain was where I knew this was gunna go wrong.
The whole side of the tree that was alive was on the opposite side of the direction they were dropping it! All of the weight was going the wrong way. Bad choice by them.
they're not tree guys,,, they're drivers , they said so in the beginning, that was a small tree, thanks for the video. the first video in this series he said he not waiting for the utilities to be marked,( finds hidden line ) seems this job is going,,, we will figure it out as we go . ? why were the tress not cut before the wall was even started, listen I'm just a person watching from my couch, it's free entertainment
Most dramtic Music to Work ratio i have ever seen. With toys this small i was expecting something more like Dire Straits Walk of Life rather than Ride of the Valkeries latter of which was done here
If you have a tree “company” and they don’t have the basic PPE on. Kick them off your job site. No hard had or helmet, big box store chaps, home owner saw. Honestly I thought y’all were more professional than that. If we are going to make our industry better we all have to be better. If you had hired a real tree company vs the cheapest guys on the block you would not have had any issues. This looks like the easiest job of the season.

Same it is embarrassing, unprofessional, and a dangerous example. Everything else is the best, lol (other than the political stuff).

Tree guys around me have been very busy the past few weeks after these storms we've gotten. I hope your week is going well! Keep up the good work!

Those tree guys are beyond sketchy. Nuff said
they're not tree guys,,, they're snowplow drivers , they said so in the beginning,
that was a small tree,
Aren’t all tree guys, meth heads ?

Put a hook on every bucket. Makes the difference. Love your video. God bless.

I worked at a factory for 45 years. I always talk about the give a crap factor in people. Some have a big one and some none.

The only tree guys that don't have a set of wedges

Removing the trees was an after thought. We didn't know that was going to happen when we started
13:57 lol they obviously didn't care enough! 😂
Maybe a sheet of lexan could be custom cut to make that window vs. buying the OEM safety glass.
Replacement glass is only $500-600 USD
Hey Dirt Monkey, we need more jobsite videos
Tree guys could have temporarily stopped the tree with wedges.
Who is paying for the door?
No you can't slip a new concrete pipe into place.
Glass is usually flat so replace the glass with plexiglass. It is much cheaper and more durable.

No good deed goes unpunished.
I have a 6th sense for finding septic lines with excavators

Not to pick on them but any tree guy should have wedges in that situation. Calm down and make calm decisions.
I dont know who this tree crew is but I can tell you they dint know what they are doing besides the homeowner special.
they're not tree guys,,, they're drivers , they said so in the beginning,
that was a small tree,
thanks for the video. the first video in this series he said he not waiting for the utilities to be marked,( finds hidden line ) seems this job is going,,, we will figure it out as we go . ? why were the tress not cut before the wall was even started, listen I'm just a person watching from my couch, it's free entertainment
This was a private line and a good amount of time since the first video- so the utility locates had plenty of time to find that
My neighbor now the street lost his life last year. He was in a skid steer. Back up into a power pole in got electrocuted.
Good thing there are 20 million new people in the USA so you can find good safety minded Help😂😂
😂 no doubt!
9:01 so I’m not a tree guy but I’ve done what your boys did to help but I add 20’ more then what I need for that reason
Most dramtic Music to Work ratio i have ever seen. With toys this small i was expecting something more like Dire Straits Walk of Life rather than Ride of the Valkeries latter of which was done here
Think you need some new tree guys. They need to pay for the door it was their incompetence after all.
Not for nothing you would think to remove the trees first before building the retaining wall.
Among looking for lines look for di that the pipes would go in always trace them out landscaper mistake
Stan is that the new light gray charcoal from Versa-lok?
TrE3 guYs…. Ok
Yeah, this is your best team in a long while....
where did the crap you find these tree guys? In front of the Home Depot in the morning? looks like their first job.
Every time a tree is cut an angel cries. Just my opinion.
😂
here to help
It would have been nice to have the trees down before starting your job
agreed. It turned out to be an after thought
If you have a tree “company” and they don’t have the basic PPE on. Kick them off your job site. No hard had or helmet, big box store chaps, home owner saw. Honestly I thought y’all were more professional than that. If we are going to make our industry better we all have to be better.
