Our BIGGEST TREE to DATE! | 90ft Conifer Tree Removal

Awesome video great job stay safe

[@dawnbeckley639]

What a Real shame. Such a Beautiful, Majestic Tree!

[@gorillagroundsandgardens]

If you watch close to the end of the video you will see it was rotten in the middle.

[@Sahadi420]

@@gorillagroundsandgardens Just curious, as a tree service do you ever say "Nah, that tree is too perfect to cut down." if it's healthy??

[@seancampbell3950]

I worked as a groundie for a company called treehab, I can honestly say that no surgeon or tree company would remove or fell a healthy tree. If the tree is rotten, has dieback, then a 90-foot tree with dieback then becomes a serious hazard especially if a strong gust of wind blows it over and demolishes a house, as I've seen 35 foot london plane with dieback be blown over and destroyed the double extension & roof on this house causing thousands of pounds of damage!!!

[@seancampbell3950]

​@@Sahadi420normally if a tree is healthy then a reduction is done or a pollard depending it can be anything from a GP1 to GP4, I'm only speaking from my own experience though!!!

[@seancampbell3950]

​@@gorillagroundsandgardensjust wanna say what a fantastic job you guys did , proper professional

[@99trees]

A neighbor had 3 tall mature tall conifers in his back yard along the fence line. He trimmed them in such a way to keep them alive and they looked like beautiful Art work.

[@Enfrance2003]

We had a rather unruly Lellandii hedge at the bottom of our garden just the other side of the fence. It was deemed too unruly by the council so it was trimmed. We now have a 20 foot tall row of dead trees. I’m glad you’re happy with yours, maybe by the time ours has rotted into oblivion it will justify the council decision.

[@amayastrata4629]

Our neighbour has leylandii and never cuts them. We get barely any sun in our garden anymore.

[@sylviodante619]

Interesting to see a Conifer that has been left to grow to its fullest.

[@cathiwim]

Greatjob guys! Sometimes a tree has to com e down for the safety of the people living nearby. During Hurricane Isabel in Eastern VA in 2003 many houses were cut in half(and a few people died) because the trees had gotten so large (100 ft plus!) we had taken down 14 of the 35 trees on our lot just 6 months before, and had no damage to our house or one neighbor. Two neighbors trees landed in our yard, but no house damage.

[@annpotter5366]

IMPRESSIVE !!! Like a fine tuned violin !! Great teamwork and Garreth is a Rock Star !! Great editing ,also!!

[@Timothy-lb2vr]

Man rules the earth, the animals and trees don’t have a say. My grand father had a massive ponderosa pine in his yard. Big enough to be designated as a point on an aircraft compass. There was a very small air port about five miles away. The pilots could use the ponderosa as a guidance point into the landing and take off from the small area air port. His house was destroyed in one of the many earth quakes that plague the Southern California area. He was long gone when this earth quake hit the area. The city fathers ordered the tree demolished and hauled away. Their opinion was that the tree was over two hundred years old. It dropped pineapple sized pine cones every year.it took 10 dump trucks to haul away the debris . I was a youngster when it was demolished ,I’m 80 years old now.

[@toddjacks8288]

Awesome job brother

[@gorillagroundsandgardens]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@OfficialSamuelC]

Would a large tarp be an option to wrap around the tree on the ground and stick the two sides together? Obviously branches and logs falling will make some holes but at the end when you've got the logs and branches up, you could go around dealing with most of the cuttings/saw dust a bit easier?

[@gorillagroundsandgardens]

That would work on a much smaller tree. There was about 8t of wood chip once we had finished chipping the branches + another estimated 10t of logs. No tarp would do that.

[@zuzuspetals9281]

It is crazy watching you all use electric saws to cut so much of this tree up. Gas powered saws would have done quicker work but I am surprised at how much you were able to get done with the electric saws. Nice job.

[@Tinbopaloobop]

Amazing what that wee saw can do with one hand! That lumber would go well in my woodburner 👌🏻

Western Red Cedar. Introduced in Victorian times. I have several that make that one look small. Internal pruning creates a cathedral effect and ensures air flow. As a biologist I can tell you that a rather inflammatory alga loves that species. Dust in the eye is not to be recommended.

thats aton of whittling, fall it in one piece , then use the miniskid to pull it apart after after cutting branches, when you have room .

[@gorillagroundsandgardens]

In this case the client wanted the lawn protected. Dismantling the tree was far less damaging than falling it would have been. It is difficult to see on the video but the tree also has a significant lean towards the house.

[@welshwizard822]

How much is a job like that worth in £

[@stockrose699]

Greatings from Germany. My English is not the best , but I try to write , what I think. You have done a great job. But this tree shoud never cut down in our country. It is not ill. The process of rottening in the middle is normal by a tree of this age. The stem is healthy and in a very good behaviour. Broken branches are a normal process of becoming older. There is no traffic, no electricity. Hauses are far away enough. In Germany we have a law called „Baumschutzsatzung“: Cutting of trees with more than 80cm Diameter at the height of 1 m is forbidden.“ Such a big tree is Home for hundreds of Bords, sqirrels, insects, and so on. It will need 400 new planted young trees to produce the same amount of oxygene (just read in a scientist Magazine) We need such old methusalems in our nature.

[@gmac8852]

It was attracting chainsaws.

[@gbentley8176]

Agree@@stockrose699

[@CJ-vc7ts]

Sharpen your damn chains, painful to watch

[@gorillagroundsandgardens]

All saws were sharp with several new chains at the start of the job. Saws were also sharpened throughout. Maybe you are used to watching some of the other tree work on KZbin with modified saws, square ground chains and less safety features on the chains which all can make a big difference to how fast they cut.
