Elderly man quoted $3000! to chop some trees, young man comes to the rescue

Ойын-сауық

What a job this turned out to be, I can’t believe prior to me he was quoted that much! Let’s just say I saved this elderly man thousands and was happy too. We got bogged in the back field where we were disposing of the green waste! too bad it wasn't captured on camera. I was blessed my son came with me to get it done. All in all it took us about FIVE hours of hard work but we got there in the end. I will return to finish the garden with a load of mulch bark to tidy it all up. Wow so much Wysteria vine, it was growing through the house! we were nearly buried in it. IM just glad we had the Milwaukee Pruning saw that I recently purchased - all I can say, it EXCEEDED my expectations especially with the awesome battery life.
hope you enjoy this video.
equipment used:
Milwaukee FUEl 18V Pruning Saw 8 inch
Stihl GTA 26 pruning saw
Honda line trimmer
stihl blower
Eyemuffs G6 for PPE

    I loathe people who try to take advantage of elderly people! I'm so glad you were able to do this. That poor yellow hibiscus needs to have a good cut-back. It would bush up nicely. Wish we could see it when you've mulched it all, I know it will look great. I like how you were careful to blow off the neighbour's driveway and the little road. Good work!

    What you did was great and looks terrific! I thank you for helping this man! There is something I need to point out, if any part of the wisteria root remains, it will grow back, as is for the hardwoods, you cut down, Those will eventually grow back, especially the juniper, I used to do landscaping here in Pennsylvania USA and I was paid similar to dig out the tree roots and removal of the trees. I wish you all the best! Bless you in all you do!

    The complex has its own green waste disposal where they mulch it and reuse in gardens and landscaping. That’s where I was taking the branches.
