  • In today's video we had to get a bit innovative with the equipment in order to safely remove this dead backyard, Ash Tree! I was sick and it was 95 degrees, so it made for an interesting day of tree work. I hope you enjoy the video!

    Enjoyed the video! We live on an 8 acre lot that is ALL solid forest except for the house, small cleared front and back yard areas, and the pool area. I absolutely LOVE living here with all of our beautiful trees... but If you have trees, you have to be a good steward of the land and be mindful of them, and when they start to die or begin to pose a threat you really need to have them removed before something bad happens.
    4 years ago I had 27 trees, several of them MASSIVE, closest to the house removed. 3 days ago I had a HUGE nearly 30" trunk pignut hickory close to the house and a smaller oak beside it removed, and a two stemmed river birch in the back yard removed. The third stem of that river birch, which had been leaning alarmingly towards the house, had been removed with the others 4 years ago, and it was past time for the remaining 2 stems to go. I feel much better having those trees gone, even tho they were my wife's favorite trees. Yesterday the guys came back to grind all of the stumps. Those areas look very nice now, and are getting full sun for the first time ever!
    I had my tree guys just blow all of the chips from those trees using their huge Bandit 21XP chipper (that thing is truly a BEAST and I loved watching it gobble up all of the wood!) into the front yard instead of into their chip truck, and I now have several crazy-big piles of chips in the front yard, which is all mulched and needed to be re-mulched anyway. I will spend the next several WEEKS spreading all of those chips around all of the now-cleared areas. I'm retired, and I love doing hard physical work like that. It keeps me in shape and out of trouble!
    2 years ago, one of the massive stems of an absolutely HUGE co-dom oak about halfway up the 800' long driveway got struck by lightning, and it fell on a 14" trunk pine and snapped it off, and the whole mess fell across the driveway, completely blocking it for several days until I could clear it and buck every thing up. I used that event to "justify" buying a new Husqvarna 455 Rancher chainsaw, and I got quite a bit of nice firewood from it that I stacked into 3 big piles up there. ANY event works to "justify" buying a new tool! It also broke off 3 big limbs from another tree during the fall and left those hanging about 40' up, all of them caught up on a large branch of yet another big tulip poplar. I finally had my tree guys remove those widowmakers 3 days ago as well. They were still pretty firmly attached up there but they were dead and they would have fallen on the driveway eventually. I'm REALLY glad they are no longer there!
    As my tree guys were working their way up the long driveway that winds through the woods up to the street, chipping up boatloads of smaller brush I had cut down and stacked in numerous piles over the past two years, I noticed 4 smaller but quite tall dead pines with 5" to 8" trunks very near the driveway, and I had the guys cut them down and chip them up as well.

      @@kencarp57 Amazing stuff! 27 trees is a HUGE job! Glad to hear you are retired but still getting after it. I love the Husqvarna saws so you made a great choice. We also just started keeping/splitting wood and it’s really beginning to add up. I look forward to burning all the way through the winter. Thanks for sharing!!
