Hi pomme,

Ekka, i'll keep you on my shortlist buddy

TrevMcRev · 24th December 2007, 06:27 PM

Heres a council listed Significant Tree we did some pruning on. Just a bit of deadwooding on the Sequoia sempivirens. Also did some clearance/crownlifting on an Auracaria, deadwooding on a Liquidambar and lateral reduction on a Pinoak.

JohN Dee · 24th December 2007, 07:00 PM

Great pictures Trev. That 2nd picture is a bloody beaut' mate.

azrael · 24th December 2007, 07:37 PM

Whole "album" is AWESOME .... top stuff.

TrevMcRev · 24th December 2007, 08:36 PM

I've tried converting mobile phone footage to a format i can load here, gives a better perspective of size, even though shes only a baby for one of these!

No exciting action here, just a look at the tree really.

Lets see if this works....

Eric Frei · 26th December 2007, 06:42 AM

Was that like a little road around it? No EWP access?

TrevMcRev · 26th December 2007, 02:52 PM

That was his driveway in the front yard. Yeah i spose an ewp could have got to it but with only a handful of these in Melbourne we all wanted to climb it!

He went right up and stuck out the top of the canopy for fun

We only really worked in the lower 1/2.

TrevMcRev · 6th April 2008, 10:47 PM

Lots of storm damage pics coming soon

Melbourne got hammered last week. We'll be cleaning up damage for a while yet

TrevMcRev · 9th April 2008, 12:36 AM

Heres a Melia Azadrach we had to get off 2 houses.

JohN Dee · 9th April 2008, 11:30 AM

Nice work Trev, but no work pics? Hey, can I ask you... How come the SES didn't come clean that up? They take ALL of our sweet pie candy storm jobs up here and we get left with the bloody hauling and chipping (Not that we accept those jobs anyway

)

TrevMcRev · 10th April 2008, 07:03 PM

I've got some progress shots, will post soon, got some resizing to do and gather up pics from 4 different old PC's and sort them all out onto my new Mac.

Then i'll get more & more stuff up here.

SES did a lot of the smaller stuff but they walk from these.

We've done about 7 days now of just damage work, mostly for insurance, some private, probably about 4 more days worth that i know of to come.

And a growing pile of regular work backing up.

Its all good

Been collecting some data on failures i've seen too

TrevMcRev · 31st May 2008, 10:32 PM

Got this fallen tree off the house no probs.

Stood back up a fair bit.

TrevMcRev · 31st May 2008, 10:38 PM

Dead Pin Oak with no good high point and dodgy branch low over slate roof.

Ace Master · 31st May 2008, 10:48 PM

Trev
That last pic with the tower is that your house.....

Nice work, good $$$$ in that area i bet.

TrevMcRev · 31st May 2008, 10:53 PM

Foams etc to protect paving:

TrevMcRev · 31st May 2008, 11:03 PM

Couldnt get to all of it with the tower, rest had to be climbed.

TrevMcRev · 31st May 2008, 11:09 PM

Yeah Ace, a few more jobs yet!

JohN Dee · 1st June 2008, 10:04 PM

Nice pics there Trev, bout time ya bloody bumped your thread up again

newguy18 · 2nd June 2008, 01:25 PM

I completely get what your saying about oaks,most don't give a single good tie in.

TrevMcRev · 22nd February 2009, 08:35 PM

A bit of reduction pruning on a Liquidambar.
Before on the left... After on the right......

TrevMcRev · 5th June 2009, 09:59 AM

So Total Tree Care aint all about big removals and prunes, here's where the "care" side of things come into play aswell.

Most Silver Birches here in Melbourne are declining or dead due to years of drought.

Water restrictions prevent people from watering lawns, which means trees with root zones under grass get next to no water.

Solution:

Here we extended out the garden bed area by carefully hand digging the grass off the surface, add composts & soil improvements, then mulch with aged chunky woodchip mulch.

If more people could be encouraged to have mulch under their trees instead of half dead grass there'd be a lot of happier trees out there!

phill ellison · 5th June 2009, 10:25 AM

good job there trev, not only you help the trees but you made the garden look better than it was before

Drouin Tree Service · 5th June 2009, 01:14 PM

Good job Trev,And well sold!!!

LOL, and on that Yankee forum they're arguing about mulch vs grass, but they also argue about leaving stubs and painting wounds.

Good job Trev, remind the customer to add wetting agents regularly along with some Seasol.

Bob Tooley · 5th June 2009, 11:37 PM

This tree decided to grow legs and go where conditions are a bit better....

Eric Frei · 5th June 2009, 11:38 PM
