  • Day 1 of a massive Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus Regnans) removal in the Dandenong Ranges.
    This tree was removed because a tree of similar size growing very close to this tree fell over exposing the roots and making it dangerous, you can see the fallen tree in the video. Thanks to the crew especially Kev price who was a legend on the rigging ropes

    Proud to say this guy is my friend.
    We started out together when we were 17, he chose arbor, I chose paving.
    Great to see him doing so well, he deserves all the success and praise hes getting. Such a genuine lad.
    All the best Dave 🤟

Like for example, inside a building when I look at the streets from say 15th floor, I can't look at it long enough that if I do, I'll get a little dizzy, maybe scared and then a tingling pain in both of my ankles but goes away quickly once I stop looking at it.

    Perfect music for this. When I’m on top of oaks it’s always so peaceful and humbling at the top. When ego gets to big. Climb a huge tree and you’ll feel real small again 😂. I live in Illinois so not to many big trees for us to climb like those. I’m 3 months away from my second year with Davey. And watching this makes me want to stick with it as long as I can. Or as long as the pay raises don’t stop lol.

Davey sucks, you're only learning the wrong way to care for trees with that franchise... go work for a real reputable company and really learn how it's done, people at Davey do this job for the money, definitely not for the love of trees, trust me on that.

    Great Job / fun job - I wish I had a job like that lined up! My only thought was rigging the top and logs down after having skinned the tree must have added super flex to the stem. I might have tried to leave some shock absorbing branches outside of my drop zone to dampen the flex factor on a tree that big. However you did it just fine and must have felt safe - any thoughts tho.? I have found it to really help while rigging big pine.

    Just wondering when you topped it did that last limb just above your cut break off when the top slammed into the trunk?, normally one would of at least tied that limb to the top if it needed to be left there for balancing the tree towards the direction of fall, many times when cuts are made that close to a limb on Euc. trees the limb will simply split off and if it is not tied then it goes into free fall onto whatever is below. Just sayin

    How do y'all do this? I'm scared even watching this video, I would love to trim trees and have even purchased all the stuff to do so only to find out I'm scared of heights and sell everything for a loss. Is there any way to get over this fear?

    I know it’s safety first... but wow! that’s crazy impressive. Never for me. I don’t like climbing up to clean my gutters. Kudos to all doing this work.
