That's fricked off, my brother. I understand and appreciate your frustration.
I think trees have souls at their own level of being, which is quite pure and beautiful.

I know a solution to this. Get yourself a badass laser pointer that you can see in the sun. Point out exactly which limbs you want to cut. Hand the laser pointer to him and have him repeat the instructions back to you….without you talking.

Mom’s brother stayed at our camp with his family and poured crab boil around her citrus trees and killed them. Man she was upset. Idiots everywhere.

Very disheartening when you spend years talking care of these trees only to have an idiot do more damage in 1 minute than 50 years of storms.

Squirrels this year are stripping bark from oak trees I planted 10 years ago. They are doings extreme damage. I am currently trying to relocate most and will dispatch any elusive ones.
Language can be a barrier with subcontractors. I had a problem last week with a painter who was doing carpentry too. He did what he wanted. When I talked to the salesman, he said the guy just says yes when he does not understand.

Is the tree going to make it? He only destroyed about a third of it you said?
Bright side is you have a whole lot of good wood to smoke meats.

If squirrels can strip bark from oak trees, the tree(s) are already in decline from something else - fungus, bugs, root rot.

Established trees can be typically trimmed up to a third of their total mass each season.
It should survive.

That’s going to make some absolutely incredible wood for smoking. Make sure to let him have half of it since he did most the work.

I turn my back for one brief moment and which one does the guy cut? You guessed it. The 18 inch round limb going straight up about 50 feet. Now this idiot has killed off over 1/3 of a living and mature pecan tree about 100 years old. When all he had to do was saw just a little limb hanging down.. When shade and trees are top priority.
If it's healthy, it will bounce back and fill out. Will it look right? Nope. But enough to get shade back.
I planted a tulip poplar in my front yard to block the summer evening sun from blazing through my front bay window. Started off fine but it grew so fast it got taller with not enough support. A storm then completely topped it.
I trimmed back the broken part to where it would heal and it looked absolutely ridiculous. I contemplated cutting it and starting over. But it filled out and more limbs grew upward. It is now wide enough to block the sun in both the door and the window. That tree probably saves me 100s in the summer on cooling bills. I keep trimming and trimming on it in the late winter and it has the shape it's supposed to be back.
Now if I could kill the black spot mold that attacks it.
