In Cali, that's what my Sr. Sales turd sold as "reduction pruning" or "reduce to old cuts". C-"that's not topping!" because we where in Cali, it was OK................ When I told him that he would get fired for doing that, he couldn't sell for chit, tells ya what kind of work went on there for year's. Guys would do it because they where afraid to get canned. Old GM had the same belief. Actually took me to a long term client where they did that to 40 big euc's every few years, he laughed and told me to just keep your head down and hope no one see's ya. Soon as I took over, it was outlawed. The guys where relieved when I told them and that they could refuse to bad work and call me if there was a Issue. I had them calling all time, the younger guys. Threw that sales guy way off. When I walked out because of that type of crap, they finally did something with him and made him transfer to ROW. Still cant figure out what he had on them to keep his job. This was the same guy who told a HO that a 12" wide 2-3" deep girdle around a pine wouldn't hurt the tree..............it was dead when he told them this. That also looks like typical Iowaegian Bubba Hack work.

Looks good to me. Tree was probably getting too leggy.

In my little neck of the woods, just east of Dallas, you would quickly recognize that as work of one of the "chingale bros." You just wouldn't be sure which one. The same old Viejo at some ROW company must have taught them all how to prune because all their work looks the same.

Went to start the chipper today and she just won't do it. The starter started to smoke so I abandoned that idea.

Topped silver maples are everywhere , in all fairness a silver maple tree is about a piece of trash ! Half the trees fall apart the other half wipe out the lawn with surface roots and ruin the landscape .

Been there had that happen before. We had a lady drive over our cones and hit a parked loader 100 feet from an intersection and put the blame on us. It was raining at the time but she claimed we left it parked right in the intersection. She was some kind of foreign lady that couldn't speak a lick of English and had to have an interpreter. We ended up proving we were not at fault but our stupid ins. carrier paid out a claim on it anyway.

I am just gonna take that for what it was , my thought is that the guy hit something prior and saw the loader sitting there and blamed it on the loader in the road . If anything comes from it I am gonna ask the idiot why e left the scene of the accident ?

There was no guesswork on our deal. We were standing under the Ho's carport waiting for the rain to stop when this car comes skidding towards our old case scatback loader, runs over the traffic cones around it and hits the bucket. She then got out of the car and slipped her ass down on the wet pavement, got up and got back in and backed up dragging cones with her and got the number off one of the trucks. Next thing you know, some lawyer in Dallas named Humberto or some **** like that is in contact with us.

I paid to send my gm (about 4 gm's ago lol) to take that 4 day course. Paid for his cdl test and truck rental and pesticide test. He passed the CA etc....then went bye bye to Davey Tree (now is looking elsewhere I am told). My LAST time kissing employee ass. Good luck with the test, hear it is much easier than when I passed it in '92 first year of testing. They get you in and then they can get more $ from you, but you gotta have it.

I know where you are coming from. Guys come in with no CA credential, no CDL, no applicator's license, no anything. You help them get all that and the MFer's quit you. I am so done with that. Not doing that again.
