What do you do with the cut branches? Are they composted or used for building at all?
Hi there Mr. Roddrick,
Can you trim a tree in my backyard in Park Slope? I need a responsible tree trimmer. Much thanks. The BBG is a gorgeous garden.
Chris,I cant believe you finally got up to 6ft. I remember you doing 2ft airs over your ramp that was only about 4ft or so!hehe. I would have never in my life imagined you climbing trees…my son is going to look to you as his hero!
You will have to build me a treehouse so when Rory and I come visit!
i just went and came back from there right now
I work for Asplundh tree expert co. We do hurricane work and all sorts of storm work. Tree trimming isn’t that hard but it is dangerous then you add powerlines. I am a Line Clearance specialist. Meaning i trim trees out of powerlines and away from. Thats a good saw hes using thats what any tree trimmer dreams of using. An Ms 200 t made by good ol stihl. Alot of power that saw there real loud. However all in all tree trimming is fun and it builds your confidence. Climbing up it then trimming.
