    Beech Removal

    Beech Removal

    Nice work as usual Steve Grover, so you would rather sit at the top of the tree, watching your groundies break themselves rather than process the branch up in the air if it is an easy and viable option? It takes a climber less time to make a few extra cuts, than it takes anyone else to even...
