This is my favorite video as mentioned by others because these trees are at my home. One local company I called for an estimate came and didn't bother giving me a price I imagine because it's kind of a squirrely job. Thank You Spencer!
Glad you got through those safely Spencer. The borer has finally made it to my land. I found the first dead one this spring. You going to use the ash wood to fill that need firewood shed?
Yeah the wood splits great (except the really decayed sections) ... I hear that in Vermont just a few ash trees are affected ... so it's a slow spread of the beetle
Thanks for that! Much appreciated ... on the way home after that job I got a ping on my phone and saw that the customer left a good review for my biz on Google. Good stuff :)
Great content. Always curious about other peoples comfort levels climbing crispy ash trees. I do it often, with the same ground crew:) -Best part about solo work is there’s no one there to rush you. Down side, there’s no one there.
Feel the cleanup.can Barley walk hurt my back on mini skid memorial week it's buldged or slipped.can climb but dragging brush is deadly in this heat my back almost fell over. Can't get dr.they just charge for tests
Well thank God for the small yellow bus... I guess your adult diapers work great on those ash trees.. Your groundies are doing exceptional work 😊..Hope next time no more ash trees 🙏🙏
@@metaspencer I was referring to the deer. I see she came back a second time, but didn't seem to help much that time. I am sure Melissa's help was appreciated too.
Maybe not for a foot deep crater, but try a pitch fork to loosen dirt up. I was amazed when I saw it work with a tree crew. I’ve“filled” in many a crater with it since.
I’m a few hours from you in New York. Have the same business model. Dead ash trees make up 50% of the work load, and they definitely keep thing interesting. Also lots of raking for the cleanup crew..
yeah, you said it: I avoid climbing 90% of the ones I encounter ... this job was a judgement call and definitely not an approach I'd recommend in all situations. dang sketchy trees
I tend to think if you even have the question the answer is "Yes, it's too dead to climb." No reason to risk it. In this case I climbed them because of the stage of decay and overall shape of the trees, but I definitely wouldn't advise it
Hey Spencer, my aunt lives in northern NJ and she a huge dead ash next to her house that she wants taken down... Is that too long of a commute for you? Kidding but not kidding aside, why are ash trees all along the northeast dead or dying? Is it a disease or a pest? Thanks for the video, I always enjoy them and always admire your work ethic!
New Jersey! Yeah it's a beetle that's wiped them out: the Emerald Ash borer. It's a pretty little bug but once the trees start to die the ants move in ... lots of decay fast
