Kentucky water oak bites the dust

Did this removal the last 2 days in western KY.

a massive removal all over a house, with the bucket crane.

arborphobia got this one. but I did spend hours roping out all the vicious hangers, all over the little old ladies house, she was terrified.
she took a lot of pics, ( all the neighbors did) I will post more later. I just got back to Wmsbg after a 10 hour allnight roadtrip.

Sweet, looks like a fun job. Very little small debris it appears too!

It was a full tree, and took a day to brush out, the way we had to do it.
the leaders were 12" + at the 65' cranes reach.
the tops had to be lowered so I could begin lifting blocks, and a lot was over the house out of the reach of the crane.

That pretty sweet. I can't wait to see the other pics. How did you do the parts that were out of reach of the crane ?

set a pulley and lowered with a friction device, and swung the branches over the house sideways.

good to hear you made it home treeslayer. safe. good stuff.


nice work on that big potato right there. full day to brush her out is nothing to shake a stick out, that for sure.

too bad no lateral pics to help ease the burden.....


nice pics. thanks.

stay safe

I helped some friends out today, normally I just climb for them when they can't get the bucket to the tree. 38" DBH red oak. Set a rope from the ground, made my notch, set tension with the truck, and made the back cut. Spent a few hours chipping brush, and will be going back Monday with an associates skid steer and the dump trucks for the wood. Haven't had to be a groundie in this respect in quite a while. Man did that suck.
