    She's gorgeous. Is there a reason it needs to be pruned?

    Amazing shoreline trees. We'll be in Duluth this weekend, I'll have to go check some shoreline cottonwoods now.

    Tell me about cottonwoods

    I rarely see whole tree failure in eastern cottonwood. Large limb failure is more common than some species, I'd say less common than white pine but more common than silver maple. For pruning we sometimes do a light canopy reduction, mostly deadwood pruning through. We prune them a lot due to...

    We like the 755. I'm not a fan of all the plastic on the avant, and the avant plate. But there's no tougher machine in its weight class. It's something else watching a 50" 6' cottonwood log get lifted like it's nothing that keeps your back from hurting.

    It blew my mind. It made me very at ease though.

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    Maybe a generational thing as well. A lot of the folks in my age range (and maybe my circles now in general, maybe I need better circles) work because it's what they got, not what they want. I've met very few tradesman who "love" what they do, but have met a LOT of tree folk who love the...

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    A lot of us do the work because we love it. There's a lot better paying careers, but we get to enjoy (at least some days) our jobs, and enjoy it enough to do the job as a hobby.

    My apprentice has the bug. He loves the work now. He comes in and learns and hangs out on his time off. It's so much more fun to have some folks who love the work with you. When God created man and woman, and placed them in the Garden, their purpose was to care for the Garden. To tend to the...

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    We keep getting to this point as well. Trying to run a legit business where you bring more to the table than a paycheck for employees and a tree cutter to clients is a chore, let alone all of the regulation, paperwork, brown nosing, etc. It sucks at times. I was there this week. Lol. I am...

    Treatment for board/ lag bolt compressed trees from a treehouse swing.

    An option is always... A base prune. Jk. Decompressing wood that's grown in a certain way?

    I have had work for hospitals, mental health clinics, summer camps, and military bases that require their own clearances. I screen employees when hired, but not for the lsa. I've never had a client have a worry about our employees. I've never had Google check in on it. I think they are worth it yes.
