"My Tree is Too Tall” (we hear this all the time)

[@michaelflores572]

I’ve been doing tree work for a few months and just recently took on 3 large 110’ pines where most of the limbs had to be rigged. Was able to fell the trees in 4 cuts. I’ve done a lot in my life but I will tell you this was one of the most exhausting things I’ve done to date. You make it look like a breeze August.

[@dscarsella1]

Thanks for the hard work August...all the content is appreciated.

[@bradywatcherson498]

Jeff "where ya want it" Shrubber. Cool job, great video. As always. 😁

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot from you! My Mom had a tree that was coming down and I was able to keep a sketchy company from getting the job. They didn’t know how to rig a branch to bring it down! So I stopped Mom from hiring them and went with another company. During the cut, I found out that the Foreman and two of the crew watch you also. We had a little bonding moment on their break!!

[@joshmeunier5382]

Wanted to say I wish I had a guy like you on my crew over the past 23 years and recently just saw you on you tube, I worked mainly high and low power utility lines where machinery couldn't go. Absolutely stellar and keep up the outstanding work!!

[@AFloridaSon]

Absolutely amazing job. Really enjoyed how much you went out of the way for the homeowner, to make sure no shrubs or spots of grass were injured during the process.

[@num1booger]

August, Been a viewer for some time now, Have enjoyed it all. Be safe sir, Blessings always, Just me and June living life in beaumont ca. as a boy i lived in grants pass, redwood ave i believe, used to walk to the old barn market for bazooka joe bubble gum, great memories for me

[@janieweyers6230]

I love everyone's chirps and the sayings you come up with. Love the little hop before Jeff puts a branch down on the speed line.

[@babcombob]

Thanks!

[@AugustHunicke]

thanks!

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Another GREAT one! Your SPEEDLINING placed all those cut limbs on a diagonal angle to the 'protected pavement' and OFF the customer's grass as asked. He must have told the wife, in the window, "MARTHA, he obeys me and cuts the limbs and they FLY above ground for his crew to gather!" Thank you AUGUST!!!

[@jacquesblaque7728]

Wild strawberries are also known as fraises du bois (strawberries of the woods). They're used to make Fraise liqueur because of excellent, subtle flavor.

[@opendstudio7141]

The lawn is saved. Pretty amazing how efficient speedlining can be and even better when your team applies the technique as sport. I'm sure the customers were as impressed and mesmerized by the process as the KZbin audience is.

[@beazleylaw]

As an old man, who had some tall trees taken down around my house let me explain why old people cut down tall trees. A tree falling on the house is a much bigger deal. In our younger days we'd just take our chain saw and cut it off the house and take some plywood and patch up the hole until the roofers got there to fix the roof. We're too old for that and injuries we suffer from a tree falling on the house are much more life threatening. The tree debris that fall on the roof is a problem. We're too old to get on the roof. It's hard to find someone to come over to your house to take a few limbs off the roof.

[@cestfixement]

we get a load of bollocks like this, fogies trying to have 100 year old trees taken down because "they sway in the wind" or they drop leaves on the verges. trees don't just fall over for no reason, have them inspected properly as is your legal responsibility if they're on your land or don't move into a house with trees surrounding it if you cant tidy up twigs.

[@drewfusaurusrexhash3970]

Lmao yeah cause only old people get trees taken down...sheesh I wish wisdom actually came with age

[@arborymastersllc.9368]

Randy you are great dude. Idk how you have the energy to be so positive all the time. Subbed to your channel like 6 years ago when I was learning. Thank you for your help.

[@NHlocal]

@@arborymastersllc.9368 I really appreciate that, thanks! As far as being positive, I see far too many people learning to do all kinds of different things and they get smashed with critical trolls. I know from personal experience that can be very discouraging. I do my best to give helpful, constructive criticism because that may be the one thing that person needs keep from getting hurt or worse. Thanks for "hanging in there" with me all these years, I very much appreciate your support and encouragement! It's an ongoing "journey" and the learning never ends. 😉👍

[@catsgillhillbilly]

You have the best crew! Love your videos.

[@TheScottsatisfaction]

Make it fun and exciting. I want to see you ride the speed line from the tip top to the driveway. Maybe follow a couple large branches for a soft skid to stop.

[@joshpomponio2993]

[@geraldmoore3686]

August, how small are you comfortable with a tree top being and does the tree species play into your decision.

[@garyung3095]

looking at the two manhole covers, I'm guessing that the owners septic system is under the lawn. he was probably told not to drive over it because compacting the soil could reduce the life span of the leach field.

[@AugustHunicke]

Indeed. Septic. We definitely were not about to drive there.

[@apollorobb]

Red Cedars are one tree i wont cut on my property unless they are badly damaged or unhealthy .

Hey, what's the devices called that you attach to the branch and then the rope for after you cut it, it slides down the rope. What are they called? This video is my inspiration for how I want to cut trees

[@wrstew1272]

We have a large ( by local standards) blue spruce that I think is a beautiful tree. She has a picture of it at shoulder height when the house was being built. Now it towers up and alongside the living room, have trimmed the branches which now overhang a portion of the roof, and the insurance man thinks it’s gotta go. I have had five or six years of appreciation added to its existence by conveniently being really busy with other projects, whilst cutting truck loads of cedar, ash, apple, and maple that are really in the way. I think this fall might be it’s demise though. Gotta have a place to sleep ya know………

[@MrPlankinton]

I really wanted to see the very tiny man who set out on the limb and filmed the trimming close up.
