So you are governed by the county not city of LA?

Yes, county, not city. But my shop is actually in Venice.

Where are the branches? Lol I'm confused

http://www.evergreenrecyclingla.com gotta pay to dump not sure the cost but it looks to be a good option

Looks like an old list but might help not sure about proximity of any of the places that take green waste to you https://www.bing.com/cr?IG=BC12F24C.../Recycling_Facilities.pdf&p=DevEx.LB.1,5317.1

Never heard of dogtown.

My address is MdR, but my shop and the branches/firewood/slabs are in Venice.

That Evergreen place is about 35-45 minutes from me.

Venice is part of city of LA from what Google tells me, right?
Google LA brush pickup says they offer a 1 time pickup call to schedule so they must do it as they get the calls not on a set day this may solve your problems

I believe Venice was the home of Tony Alva and Jay Adams along with the z boys. Probably the greatest skateboarders of all time. Back in the mid 70’s. They used to surf at venice amid the debris from the amusement park scattered in the water. True legends

Wow! That would be fantastic. I'll surely check that out.

Just a branch about 45’ in the air. Here’s the trunk

Wow, I see I missed the fun. Good on ya Jamoco! Ez1 you mean the services there wanted thousands to do that tree? I know pictures can deceive at times but that tree looked like some I've done for 500 cleaned up. I suspect you and jamoco had a lot of talking, I think he could have blown it out in one day. Still props to Jamoco for saving you a good chance of getting hurt or worse! Thanks EZ1 for your service.

Thank you.

A number of years ago (when the tree was smaller) a crew was working a neighbor's tree with a bucket lift. When they finished I asked one of the crew how much he thought it would be to remove the tree. He said probably over $5,000; that included removing the stump too. I'll wager the one you did for $500 wasn't leaning on a building, didn't have a trailer under it, and didn't include the stump removal.

During the 2 days of work with J, the trailer was never so much as scratched. Temps were in the high 80's with very high humidity, making it necessary to consume gallons of water. I may have held J back, but he was too kind to ever mention that. Looking back at what we accomplished I feel deep pride and especially gratitude for having had the privilege of meeting and working with such a fine man.

I would love it if i were wrong bro but my market is brutal here is a tree i did for 2 k looks like it would be 20 k in your area

There was a three phase power line right beside it too lol

I'm glad jomoco helped you and glad you let him your too good of American to get killed by a dang tree. My hat is off to him helping and also to you for the courage of attempting to do it.

I love golf coarse stumping the last time on the fairway I had 32 stumps none too terribly huge, done in 2 hrs figure actual cost at about 10 bucks a stump so 25 a pop you are at 150% profit! Lol

Thanks fellas. And happy to hear that stump removal isn't a hugely expensive deal.

There's no real rush on removing the rest of the tree, but I will continue to try to make progress while I have some inertia helping me and so I can combine as much as possible for hauling. Also don't want to wind up with yet another unfinished project.

One single stump in cali might be pretty expensive... it's high volume that drives price down.

Thanks for all the kind words n contributions guys.

Giving EZ a hand was an extremely humbling experience.

I've never had my azz so thoroughly kicked by high humidity!

I was only good for about 45 minutes of work in the tree before getting light headed, and coming down to cool off for half an hour before headin aloft again.

I guess I'm gettin old n ready to be shipped off to the knackers!

The tree was strategic in that it was entirely over the shop, but it certainly wasn't two days work.

EZ's a helluva a craftsman though! His teakwork on his boat's the finest I've seen, and his shop's to die for!

I totally understand why he was so determined to protect it now.

I've never experienced such high humidity that close to the ocean, and understand why so many athletes drop dead pushing themselves while playing or practicing in it.
