A customer made this video of my crew and I taking down a large Cottonwood, its a neat 4 min watch if you're interested in that sort of thing. [video:youtube] https://youtu.be/DKuXpULku4M?feature=shared[/video]

I got it to play just fine now. That is awesome video. I got to watch a crew do that one day and was amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing that with us.

It ain’t your first rodeo eh?…..lol My brothers friend wanted a big elm gone in his back yard. Said an arborist told him he’d take it down and clean it up for $1800. He told the guy to pound sand and my brother got me to go and look at it. Good lord! I told him to look for another arborist as the last guy obviously didn’t have insurance, not a real one, and that a real one charging $5000 for the clean up and everything would probably be a sweet deal. There’s lots of tree removal fly by nighters around, but only a few real arborists that can remove a huge tree without a bucket and not destroy everything, and they’re worth the money they charge when you see what they can do.
Wind Blew, crap flew, out came the line crew
