Trees on buildings

[Basswood]

Sounds like an awesome experience! I've been in NYC but never to work, just as a tourist. It's an alien world to me. I couldn't imagine driving a work truck around in there let alone trying to park it! How'd you get into that work? Were you self employed or working for a company? Yeah, fish emulsion on the carpet might not be the best fragrance for the penthouse

We do quite a bit of work in NYC. bringing chip trucks, buckets and trailers in is a special skill set for sure. We do some rooftop gardens and will even do the clearance pruning from buildings from roofs.

It’s pretty dynamic market and some people specialize in just working in one of the 5 Burroughs.

Or, you know, they could make it a park instead of more overpriced condos.

But it’s a LEED certified building, so it’s super green…

Sounds like you have a pretty cool lifestyle going. From bird hunting in the country with your dogs to tree working in the rotten apple. I don't think many people get to experience such a diverse palette of settings and culture, right on!

Never worked on one myself, but my old company got some jobs pruning small ornamental trees on the tall buildings (roof-top or upper level patio I'm not sure) in Seattle, and they had to bundle all the brush up in tarps and bring it down the regular elevators to the street level, trying not to make any messes.

Some of the city buildings have plants and shrubs on the outside, many floors up, and I guess the architects didn't plan for the actual maintenance of said plants (no surprise...), meaning when the parks department had to do any care/maintenance of them, it was very hard to do and sketchy to do.

I was thinking there could be an extra layer of danger to caring for these plants and trees!
