The Power companies only responsibility is keeping the Power lines Clear and SAFE. the Homeowners are almost always the ones ignoring potential issues until they become just that. Trees to close to foundations, Septic systems, power lines and even Property lines are all the responsibility of the Home Owner. We just find it easier to complain and blame others than actually address the issue.
@@arboristBlairGlenn Nope, but I have had to deal with plenty of unruly trees. You might look again. My last sentence started with - We - as in I have been just as guilty as others. In fact I'm now dealing with a Neighbors Giant Pine, wedged between main lines and our property line. Can you guess which side of (their) tree the massive limbs are hanging from? They moved, leased the house out and refuse to address the 4 dying trees threatening to fall on home structures. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Keeping brush organized is important. When I have guys help me, I try to get them to load branches the same direction. It makes pulling them out for the chipper easier. I often fail miserably.
Sometimes a homeowner pulls brush. While appreciated, the way they pile it up often makes chipping so much harder. Figuring out this short edit for the brush part was harder than I thought it would be. Really boring so I made the footage run faster with interruptions and dissolves.
@@arboristBlairGlenn. One of my least favorite type of job is being called in to chip up a brush pile that a homeowner has “stacked”…they often contain brush, garden trimmings, lumber (including nails), muddy roots and random garbage all mixed together in a random, tangled manner. Lotsa fun!
I really appreciate your channel! I've been learning so much from you and it's giving me more confidence to go into business for myself. I worked for an old logger and he trained me to climb. I fell in love with it but it was a very different style of working in trees than I felt comfortable - fast and careless. I felt in danger every day on the job. Eventually, I quit and started doing side work for family and friends, and found it could be very calm and peaceful. I hope to become a tree master like you! Do you have any tips for starting out on my own in a more professional sense? My biggest challenge right now is affording all the extra equipment like a chipper and rigging gear. Thanks for all that you do, it's so valuable!
I just looked at your channnel👍🏻. If you send me your email to blairglenn@gmail.com, I can send you a PDF that I wrote on getting rolling in a service business. I have a daughter named Callie about your age. Where are you located?
there is something about chinese elms falling sideways. i have one that went horizontal decades ago before my time, with one limb being parallel to the ground and the other going totally vertical. unfortunately a flush cut wounded it on the parallel limb and a big crack developed. i had to do some bracing but i fear if i remove it, it will totally off-balance the vertical section.
Unfortunately The power or utility companies pay Tree workers arborist or whatever title they have to clear the vegetation away from the electrical conductors. It is a very fine line of what they do unfortunately, it’s up to the tree owner to properly care for the tree or have the power company reroute the powerlines away from their tree there’s a lot to be said but, worked for many outfits in my short 30 years of doing tree work and that’s just my opinion.
Power line maintenance just get the job done and don’t mess about 🤷♂️🤷♂️ The pro has to be called in to put the damage right 🤗🤗 I like to see before and after Also it’s satisfying to see the clean up 😱😱 Must be my ocd eh ! 👍👍👍 Oh if the first tree had fallen it may have taken a good side of the house with it ? Are the big rooted ?
Hey Steve, I’m a so cal younger arborist, about to move to Redding, would you have any tips or advice with Trees or plant health care problems out there?

@@johns3106 I won’t do it anymore
@@johns3106 We definitely get these requests. The dreaded, "Hey, while you're here...!"
@@arboristBlairGlenn Well, I explain...big end all the same way. That's too difficult so for the most part, I do it myself! LOL
Great job. Tree looks good in the after despite all you had to remove.
Thanks Kate
That tree looked great after you finished! Thanks for your work!
Well, safer anyway
Legend still a grafter at an older age, especially hard in the tree trade

Did you do line clearing work?
I love the garden enclosure idea. Might have to do that to keep cats out.
This guy loves it but not a very big area

That Live Oak looks really nice !...
Thanks, best I could do under the circumstances.
Very interesting!!
I try hard to show different aspects of my work. I always run into unique things like this vegetable enclosure.
"Look at how they massacred my boy."

Are the big rooted ?
Big rooted? Don’t understand the question
@@arboristBlairGlenn Sorry z Blair Do the roots go way under the side of the house or are they shallow roots ?
No matter what you're preserving the tree. Shade, no shade, uneven pruning, restoration pruning, it's only helping in those situations
We do what we can for the needs of the client
@@arboristBlairGlenn sometimes we have to do what's best for the tree, while educating the customer
2:12 -- What do you do with the wood chips?
I use wood chips to cover the muddy sections of trails; I also use them to make compost.
Give them away. Want some?
@@arboristBlairGlenn -- Ummm ... Maybe. But I don't know whether UPS ships boxes that big.
Hey Blair have you seen the power line guys in S E Asia ?
I’ll try send you a link if not
Steve 👍👍
Okay
Nifty garden enclosure, are garden is attacked yearly by squirrels and raccoons.
Interesting way to fight the critters for sure
Hey Steve, I’m a so cal younger arborist, about to move to Redding, would you have any tips or advice with Trees or plant health care problems out there?
Steve? This is Blair
Sorry Blair lol my auto correct wrote that
lol I’m sorry
@@mattheauvillarreal5635 so, what is your question?
Would you happen to know what tree problems would I run into in Redding, there are a lot of Grey pines and valley oaks.
City, utilities, (permit requirements) should by law require an assessment by a qualified and licensed arborist.
Should but don’t care
"City, utilities,...assessment by a qualified and licensed arborist." You live in El Dorado? Oz? Somewhere in heaven? Surely you jest? Qualified butcher? Yes, always! Thanks for the chuckle.
Why the face mask Blair? Just wondering
Really dusty brush full of pollen. Keeps me from coughing and I breath better.
