    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Agreed, if it’s not the most difficult skill to acquire in the trade, it’s certainly in the top 1.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Don’t get the hump, I was only pointing out a general trend in the US as opposed to Europe. It wasn’t a dig, just observation, a generalisation perhaps, but a correct one I think. Don’t invade Greenland or anything rash because of it!

    If it was your intention to hurt my feelings…you’ve suceeded! Seriously though, I never see reductions (or indeed pollards) on US tree forums.

    Watched the first five minutes. Thoughts. American tree companies rarely reduce trees like they do in Europe. In the US it’s out or a ‘prune’ which seems to be a thin, lift and deadwood. Pointless. If you reduced mature trees, you wouldn’t lose so much cover.

    I don’t torment myself with worrying about needing it, I suppose if a doctor told me I could never have another drink, or France became an Islamic theocracy and I had to stop I could.

    Los Angeles area fatality

    Terrible story. Back in the day I worked in London nearly every day, those cast iron Victorian fences with spiked tops were ubiquitous. They always gave me the heebees. You didn’t even have to take a fall, even a slip ans a drop of a few feet could end nastily.

    Live in Seattle or moving to? Major Tree could use some help.

    Postcard mailers with photos, "creepy?"

    Yes, it’s creepy. Cold calling is pushy. Leaving cards or the like is fine. Taking photos is beyond the pale.
