Remove a Tree Overhanging a House Without a Crane or Lift (2018) - Part 1

Ойын-сауық

We where working on two trees for a local company based here in King, NC. I start with some pole saw work and do some climbing to get this tree to where you can throw it. My tree service is called Geddie's Tree Service if you need tree work in the Triad area. To all my guys and gals who follow my channel and support me on these jobs and see the journeys we have doing tree work in the Triad. And as always thx so much for watching and participating. Be safe out there up in those trees guys. Also this will be a 2 part series and if you have time watch them both.

    Very good at letting your ground crew know what you'll be doing, no yelling or screaming, helping them out. Great leadership.

    I just did an 19 tree job and had like 5 of these all around the house, I did the whole thing climbing, I never use a bucket or a crane. I’ve yet to find a tree I can’t take down by climbing it. It amazes me how often people use bucket trucks, just not necessary. Good video

    Good on you for showing and explaining this, man. Good description also. The first 40 or so jobs I did, I always started with the pole saw on the ground (still do). 16 feet of reach, plus your height, can save a lot of trouble. Also, I've often worked from the roof, shed, whatever is the most efficient. I did a whole season with virtually no rigging (not necessary), and working by myself. Now I tie the limbs if I have to, and I work with another guy so it makes things way easier. Also, the pole saw in the tree helps a lot. Again, that reach really helps. I have a winch welded to my trailer that I use for the heavier rigging jobs. It's 4500 lbs so I attach it to the rigging rope, to the winch cable, and after the cut is made, my buddy lowers it with the remote. I like to use natural crotch rigging and little pinto pulleys for the smaller stuff. Cool to experiment with all that. This is a tough tree because it's like a million trees in one. Still, you don't need a crane and bucket truck and 12-man crew for every single job; just a way to get the tree down safely and efficiently. Being resourceful is key in this line of work. Well done, man.

    That pole saw is amazing piece of equipment and a life saver and I'm so glad you have been successful with your business by adding equipment, knowledge, and personnel.. It definitely helps the day go smoother and I love natural crotch rigging too and I love how organized it sounds like you keep your operations on the job site. I wish you even more success and thanks so much for taking the time to comment and watching my video and above all keep up the good work and, "Be Safe Out There Up In Those Trees."

    Nice job young man. I myself have worked the tree service and logging industry for the past 25 years. The best advice I can give a young gentleman as yourself is just always take your time and don't let the ground guys or anyone rush you. Always be safe as well. Thats your life your hanging on a half inch rope not anyone else's. As always be safe and many blessings to you and yours. Enjoyed the video and keep up the good work.

    at 21:05. at the end of the white rope is the carabiner connecting to the green rope. the carabiner is side loaded instead of end loaded. keep an out for that and correct it before weighting the rope. should always only end load the carabiner.

    My daughter has a live oak 4.5 feet thick at chest level. It has limbs reaching into 2 yards and over her house. These limbs are like trees themselves stretching 30 or 40 feet long. I don't know how in the world you could get it down without a crane but how much do you think it would cost to get it gone?

    I have no clue as far as price because prices are relative depending on where you live. I’ll be honest with you get about 10 estimates if there is no rush if the tree appears healthy. It’s very possible to take the tree down in smaller sections than what I was doing here in this video however over the house normally starts at whatever the insurance deductible (1-2K) is and the estimate will build from there depending on other factors. They have to see the tree to actually price it though properly.
