Two Big Redwood Trees

This week we removed a couple big redwood trees. There was a pretty good north wind, so a number of the branches I had to take extra care to keep them from falling on the nearby building. Also, this trees appear to never have had irrigation, so when grinding the roots, they were super deep.  But altogether a safe and complete job.

Chainlink v. Oak Tree

Many times I have seen chainlink fences growing in a tree. But never to this extent. This tree is definitely a 50/50 on the property line! It never ceases to amaze me the wonder of trees and how they can adapt in their environment. We as people are always moving. We forget, that trees like this that are 50+ years old, have never left this location. 

Oak Tree Trimming in Modesto

 We did a big oak tree today. The tree is more then 150 years old and had not been trimmed in 20+ years. You will notice a few photos of branches that are sun burned. When there is not enough foliage to cover the wood on the branch, this is what it looks like. Usually sun burned sections are near the top or side of the tree where the branches are more exposed.
