re: Baw cuts down a tree in a residential neighborhood

not if you have a leaner with nothing to pull it. thats a tall tree, a slight lean will pull heavy

if you do a humboldt undercut, and then notch the backside at a 45, you can control where it will go. I've done it a bunch.


you can use a bottle jack or wedges to help correct for leaning trees

Here is a brave baw I hired to take down a dead pine in by backyard last April. Dude lived for high risk action. He is a vet who suffers from PSTD and by the time his crew left he was comfortable enough with me to try and sell me weed.

This was done the right way. Cutting down the pine in sections with a boom truck.

know how I know you’ve never priced out a tree removal next to a house?

A straight pine tree like that isn't that terribly expensive. They'd have that thing down in an hour

Something like big oak with tons of leaders is where they are pretty expensive.

Still over a grand to get done.

Lady a few houses down from my grandparents had a masssssssive oak with 2 of the largest branches over the home taken down a few months ago. That had to have easily been 15k to do.

I have a live oak that's going to have to come down and I think the last quote I got was 2200. Part of it is over the house but they can get a bucket truck to it which makes it cheaper.

Looks like he was trying to drop it in the street. I’ve seen it done before on similar sized trees.

i wonder if the other guy said hold my beer while i hold this rope?

Only in 2020. That's hilarious.
