Nice job this week. Decayed and dangerous willow over the house, a knarly ash heavily leaning over a monk system and 10 medium-large Douglas this week.

A qu**ky. But straight down the middle.

A very dangerous storm damaged Scots pine suspended over fibre optic and electric cables. Safely removed with cherry picker from Steve Beck. Happy client, happy village.

A wind fell oak tree removed from the lake at the chateau. Very hard work with oak pieces removed one at a time weighing over 100kg each from deep silt and sludge. 2 full days but we now have a clear lake (all it needs now is some water!)

Bit of storm damage this morning. 3 Aspen very heavily leaning over a departmental road. Down, chipped, done.

Helping clear trees off the ancient dolmen at chateaux de Montbrun today. Hot, tricky work but job done.
Back on Monday to deal with some of the wind fell trees from this week's storms.

A large dead standing larch brought down with precision between a conifer hedge and a box hedge. It was leaning towards a beautiful chateau tower so we really had to take our time!!
