    I got called a "snake," yesterday...

    I call that dodging a bullet. That is when you get a nudge out of a possibly bad situation. Probably a homeowner that you did not want to work for. Just had one myself today. I had a homeowner use my reputation to get the removal permit by submitting my estimate and got approval. Then got...

    Retrenchment and Mistletoe

    The tree just flushed out. Wow. The first shot already shows wound closure on the turkey branch a year later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    More Light to a Golf Course Green

    Green side is approximately 60-70%. The moss was so dense that there were very few inner canopy branches along the stem. Very few inner canopy branches were removed. Most outer canopy was brittle and carpenter ants were hollowing out the outer canopy branches that were cut. I see that a lot...

    Stump Grinder bought a Brush Bandit 2550

    I’ve had good luck with the wearsharp teeth. The third edge is usually still sharp but running only 8 teeth I don’t waste too much time between rotating them. Lots of rock landscaping Here. The zt1844 wears the inner two sets faster without the spacers. The 4 teeth with the spacers last about 2...

    Stump Grinder bought a Brush Bandit 2550

    When you say they last longer, is that all 3 sides of the green teeth or just 1 cutting edge. Tks

    More Light to a Golf Course Green

    Request was to clean and prune the tree to allow more light or have to spend $40K to move the green. Goal accomplished. End day 1 End 1/2 day 2. To accomplish the goal we did a major reduction of the green side stem to provide more light penetration. Due to the lack of proper pruning and...

    Stump Grinder bought a Brush Bandit 2550

    Considering upgrading from my bandit zt1844. Great machine. Stumps keep getting bigger. Was looking at the 2900 but requires another truck, trailer, driver for a single day removal. Now looking at a 2550. How is the revolution wheel vs green teeth?

    got kicked off the job

    Simple version. 8K is X amount of hours and equipment. Anything exceeding that estimate should be billed time and material. Contract version is the question.

    Moss is moss. Lots of bugs and ants. Just start the music and keep pulling. Thanks for the clean-up kudos.

    Pushing Pruning Limitations

    Lol. We have a lot of mushroom trees. Two sources that I will consider are: http://www.marshalltrees.com/ http://cherrylake.com/ They have the best roots that I can find. The vitex was outsourced from Gainesville and I had to take a 30 gal pot size to a 15 gallon size to find straight roots...

    Pushing Pruning Limitations

    This Live Oak (Querqus virginana) has been lions tailed for a number of years. There are too many branches with poor branch taper. In an open field you could reduce the upper canopy to push branches back to the interior and increase the dimensions of the existing branches. This tree could be...

    Pushing Pruning Limitations

    I agree with the crown ratio. I really did not want to take the material over the driveway.

    Pushing Pruning Limitations

    Here are pictures of some trees. I only worked on one of them and it had been over 5 years ago. The trees were existing before the home excluding the last one. Example of the final size but lions tailed. Full size hammock of Oaks. 3 live Oaks behind a home of one of my previous customers...
