Tiny TWIG Grows Into MASSIVE Headache For This 80 YEAR OLD Man

[@kylepratt1710]

Good man not only to help this older man, but also know your limitations based on experience, knowledge and equipment.

[@vickiemorris6849]

Looks like someone trimmed that tree years ago,too. Time for it to go! Glad you stayed safe!

[@dawnth531]

yes, and it will sprout again just as it did before if not totally cut down soon. I had one do that to me several times til I decided to have it completely gotten rid of.

[@MidwestMagicCleaning]

I don't know what it is about tree trimming, but I could watch that all day.

Me too, but his whiney battery-powered tools are ruining this video. It's such a high-pitched continuous shrieking. Yes, I know I can mute it, but normally the sound is one of the best parts of lawn care videos. I just can't with this. This has happened in another US lawncare guy's platform and one in Australia too.😢

[@fillslawncare]

@@gretchenblase3296 It's the pole saw making that noise. I don't like it either but nothing I can do.

[@lawriesaxton7645]

If nothing else, you saved this man money because it is less tree to cut and remove for the Arborist. Nice job.

[@jasonlange4548]

I don't think it's going to matter if you want their services they're going to charge you for it

[@KiraWillis-e6b]

A tree service will still charge alot of money to remove that

[@Bigman.Struggles]

I'm so glad you had a helper for this. It's definitely not a 1 person job.

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

That tree was "pollarded" at one point, cut into stubs and then the branches restarting were cut off each fall. It does contain the top growth of the tree. At some point, like seedling trees, the branches weren't cut back and this gave the long growth you started with. Certainly, the roots and trunk of this "twig" is now causing foundation issues where it has been growing. You did a thoughtful job figuring how to do the basic work.

[@Dodgystitch]

I thought the tree looked like it had been cut before then started to regrow because it wasn't taken to a stump and killed, we've just had a eucalyptus tree removed and the stump was treated to kill it and eventually the roots otherwise it has potential to grow back and we don't that.

[@rossfrid3159]

Word to the wise - NEVER let any tree grow up that close to a dwelling. Of course it will cause problems if not catastrophic damage.

[@5DConsciousness]

How about never plant a tree that close to your house.

[@thisisnotthechannelyourelo407]

Its only a problem if you let it become one. I have a pomegranate tree that's been literally wrapped around a corner of our house for 50 years, hasn't caused a single problem. 😂

[@rustydog1236]

​@thisisnotthechannelyourelo407 a pomegranate is more of a bush.... I'll tell you what happened to me ... the toilet kept stopping up. I'd snake it multiple times and still stopped even though it was clear to the street. Finally tool the toilet off. The pomegranate bush roots had grown under the slab not lifting it or anything, and come up between the slab and sewer pipe and gone straight down in a perfect ring about a foot, just to get water. The snake just went straight past it smooth. So I cut them off and spread some root killer stuff from the plumbing store around the pipe . Put a new wax ring. Never grew back the 10 years more I live there and didn't hurt the tree none.

So True, watching mowers go back and forth is so boring. I like to watch videos where there are bush trimming, tree cutting or trimming, hedging, etc. When I put the video forward and still keep seeing guys on their mowers, I move on to another video, one that is interesting, and don't give a like.

[@belc44]

​@@NotthatNeilyes, but not only lawn mowing. A whole video showing lawn mowing is boring.

[@5hdJHqyUI89]

I really like videos like this that show removing limbs etc. It's a night and day type of project. Nice work guys! I'm sure the owner was happy.

[@Audibleknight]

Agreed. It was a nice change of pace and still had a big "Wow" factor with the before and after pics. Great job Fill!

[@smoked9out]

An arborist is going to piece it out by chunks from top to bottom because of how close it is to the house and surrounding stuff. That avoids having to bring in any heavy equipment

[@ken12256]

My thoughts too. Someone who is experienced will cut it in chunks from top down no need for a crane.

[@twvea]

Yes, I think they will just lower/maneuver each section down with someone on other end on ground. Did it that way for a 60 ft tall silver maple our place.

[@JacquiBeberman]

[@suet4653]

Would love to see acouple of lawn care guys working together and going around the full yard and trimming things back for them. You did a great job on this tree.

[@billbyrnes9505]

A tree that massive against the house, Roots, seek water. Sewer lines, leaky water lines, then They screw up and work on your foundation. Like vines on a house, sure looks pretty, but cracks in the brick, siding, Then they start making their way inside? Never a good sign. Lucky Fill has a helper, that could have been an accident in waiting. Love the commitment you show. What ever you make, its not enough.

[@lindaweges8624]

Talk about letting the sunshine in!Trimming up this tree really opened up the place!

[@myraholmes8702]

[@brendamyers6752]

Wonderful "pruning" of the tree. So glad a viewer reached out for help. Larry has beautiful areas in his yard. Maybe you could do a video if and when Larry's tree gets cut down? Keep on keeping on 😊

[@ginak921]

Wow you had a helper today that must have made it easier and quicker for you. Great job.

[@DamnGoodITGuy]

I'm no arborist but something that low to the ground I would just cut small sections from the top and just keep working my way back down. Also that's not the cable and telephone wires that's the electrical service main for the house - you can tell because it's supported by a metal cable that is attached to the service mast, and the electrical meter is right below it. You're lucky the wire wasn't weather worn with bare spots, or you would have found out the hard way.

[@Chema.420]

I've helped cut a tree bigger than that while doing landscaping and yes your right if you don't have the extra equipment you cut it from the top to the bottom

[@dianep3071]

I just had a 100 foot maple tree that was dead and had to come down $2500 later i still have 10 feet of stump left. They wanted another $1000 for the rest . It can sit there n rot if it falls it wont hit the house

[@jellyfish9152]

In addition to my earlier comment, some of my neighbours followed my style because they were fed up with overhanging tree branches, dried leaves, tall grasses. They were very thankful that i footed the bill of the removal (trees, bushes, vines, etc) 10 ft from my property lining. Some of my neighbours commemted that my house and property was the neatest, cleanest, tidiest ever in the entire neighbourhood. They hired the same contractor to remove all the trees, bushes, vines from their entire yards. Their entire back yard, side yards AND 75% of their front yards have been cemented. The other 25% of front yard (closer to the sidewalk) - had new earth which they planted herbs. Brick wall was placed at the front yard so that the earth don't flow to the sidewalk. To prevent earth to flow from the 25% to the concrete cement, they had built a 1 ft concrete cement along the divider. They are so happy with their renovated yards. They saved time and money from no mowing. They just took care of the 25% area. To say the least, other neighbours are following their style. We had all agreed that the sidewalk shall have no grass. So we had that whole section totally cemented. No tree, no bush, no hedge, no vine, no earth at the sidewalk. Everyone is so happy.

[@BuiDuong_TV]

[@feliciascott6874]

There is word that is used when someone ignores a problem when it is small until it becomes big and dangerous. Procrastination. It's obvious that this yard suffers from severe procrastination. You should fix the problems before you get too old to do it yourself. I am pushing 70 now and have replaced my handicap ramp, back stairs and removed any trees that are too close to the house. I love to garden but it has gotten very difficult for me so I put in two small green houses with raised platforms so I don't have to get on the ground or dig. If your deck is rotten have it torn down before you hurt yourself. Put up proper stair and ramp rails now. Keep your yard and lawn free of big stones and silly decorations that make mowing and weed-wacking difficult. You have to prepare for the ravages of old age so you can enjoy what is is left of your life.

[@jenniferrotz2142]

I totally agree with you.

[@sylviawoods6486]

I agree...but I love my pretty stuff. LoL I have a huge modernistic woman, a huge tortoise, and a huge Buddha. But everything is in areas that aren't mowed. I have done EXTREME work at my house in the last 5 years. I even had an elevator installed. There are less expensive ones. The elevator can go with me if I move.

I wonder if that tree had been cut back a few years ago. I am sure Larry appreciated your help. I love his little covered area it is so cute. I had 2 trees removed from my front yard. One gave off what we call helicopters in Missouri. I was always trying to bag those up. The roots were surfacing and i would trip on them. I had him cut it down, remove the roots and remove the trunk. So much safer, I am in my 70's

[@jennifersmith8640]

We had a very tall silver maple removed from our front yard a couple of years ago. It was two men, some straps and ropes, and two chainsaws. They made very quick work of it. You did a good job and knew what your limitations were.

[@twvea]

Silver maples are not yarf friendly are they? Huge roots, whirly birds that sprout everywhere! Unh. Took out 2, 1 more to go.

[@lizhyrkas3989]

If he doesn’t plan on cutting it down soon, I highly recommend spraying the cut branches with Sucker Punch. It was recommended by Garden Answers and I wish I found it 10 years ago. At least that will stop the growth of new limbs. When I had my old Sweet Gum tree cut down, the four men used rock climbing equipment to reach the top. One climbed and cut, the others had ropes & pulleys to direct the limbs to the ground (they climbed the tree where the truck with bucket couldn’t reach). But, my limbs were are big as many trees. Once they got enough of the tree cut down, the guy stood in the bucket to cut but they still used ropes & pulley to guide the limbs. It certainly attracted many Sidewalk Superintendents. I took videos and pictures for two or three days. It was expensive, but no more limbs can fall on my roof or deck.

[@NormaQuintero-e5g]
