    Well we came back for the weekend to rest. Ended up in Lynn Haven. Real close to Panama City. The area is destroyed. 100% of the forest is damaged. 90% Down. Trees everywhere. Had to cut power lines just to get to our first home. In two homes we removed approximately 60-70 trees. Used 25 sheets...

    Retrenchment and Mistletoe

    This tree is out of the norm. It has been a challenge keeping this guy from falling over or apart. The overall goal was to balance the tree within the homeowners lifetime (retirement community). This tree is the reason they bought the lot. If we wanted to achieve symmetry with the over extending...

    Retrenchment and Mistletoe

    With the hurricane work starting on Monday I decided to trim the thanksgiving turkey early this year. Took the horrible turkey head off on Friday. It was like taking the cast off and saying finally that is done. We added 2 Yards of Topsoil to the front yard to set up the nutrition for fall...

    Retrenchment and Mistletoe

    lol. Actually after working on Live Oaks almost exclusively over the past 8 years here in Florida I have learned a few things. They are hands down one of the strongest trees that I have ever worked on. Damn sure the heaviest. They have three common leaf drops. Fall 30-50%, Spring (80-100%)...

    Cabling and Bracing as an Arborist

    I thought the same until Guy shifted my thoughts. Trying to bid both cabling, bracing, and pruning in one shot is hard to do. Everything requires inspection, what type of cables did you propose static or dynamic? As far as ANSI, I don't recall a rule but Guy is the expert on this. As for...

    Another round of retrenchment pruning took place this past February. I still need the to take the photos after the spring flush. We took approximately 25,000lbs out of the canopy.

    Ever cut your rope to Escape?

    After checking out the tree that day and finding the bees still there I ran down to Rural King and picked up the suit and gloves for $100. It was hot. I would not have worn it for the other two limb attachments. The Photos were shot by one of my employees. He has a good eye for the shots...

    Ever cut your rope to Escape?

    Went up in the tree to retrieve my gear and set cables this afternoon. Bee suit works but got rained out this time. I’m guessing pics are in order. The one behind the palm. The drop was at the level of the tallest palm head. Bees were sealing up the hole and very mellow. Only got one...

    Ever cut your rope to Escape?

    Yup. Tail end wrapped up on the branch suspended below me. So basically hit a stopper knot. The tree was a Multi-layered Live Oak. I was doing a weight reduction on a lower horizontal limb. The limb that i was standing on/ cutting was approximately 20" in diameter and my TIP was another...
