Quick post, I'm in vacation.

Looking to find a skilled, safe tree worker/ arborist/ apprentice arborist.

"Work-cation" or long term. Short-term or Transitional housing possible.

16 years in business.

Small operation with great customer base. Many customers for more than a decade. Selectively taking new customers in my close-

Currently have a part- time climber- groundwoman. I bang out a lot of solo work, as I find tree work very predictable and low risk, aside from some nasty storm work
Rely on machines and labor-saving techniques as much as possible.

Mini-loader with BMG and Scoops (alturnamats aid access when needed), gas-powered capstan, GRCS, Wraptor, APTA (hand throw most trees to 60-70'), 40-ish wedges and a springboard, SENAs, Woodland Mills HM126 sawmill (16' plus trim capacity) etc., etc..

There are two crane companies in town with tree experience.

Retired friends have hauling rigs, including a strong knuckleboom/ dump, allowing me to take on large jobs with less staff.

Neighbor has a 36" capacity Hud-son hydraulic mill.

Been climbing SRS since it was SRT with a wooden rope wrench or F8-Revolver.

Balance of tree care and removal, with rare grinding (25hp Rayco).

Country/ Puget Sound water front and water view client base. Very little urban work. My shop is 12 minutes from downtown Olympia, WA.

Not as giant of Geary oak/ Oregon White Oak. Some preventative supplemental support systems and end weight reduction pruning would have greatly reduce the risk of this type of storm damage. Bad bark-inclusion/ structural defect at the main fork caused the tree to split in the snow storm.

We lightly end-weight reduction pruned the over-extended, and newly wind-exposed remaining side.

Support systems recommended.

Black walnut storm-damage management... Cracks developed in two trunks, and one leader broke and lodged in the crown.

Reduction Pruning on over-extended cracked trunks/ end-weight reduction on others.

Didn't get a picture of the management of a mimosa which had a split fork, a badly-"included" main fork, and the homeowner reported that it has been tipping over.

We installed a static cable and four brace-rods through the forks, plus build a permanent prop.

Maple buried in ivy...a great place for rodents to eat a treat in a protected space, girdling the tree.

At time of removal, only about 5% wasn't girdled.

Ivy impedes tree inspection.

Decay-fungi fruiting bodies starting to develop, were hidden by ivy.

Fungal decay is moderate and advanced in different places.

The bark-inclusion (tight-V fork) is also causing some necrosis from crushing injury.

Remnant forest tree blew over on a recently built house during wind.

Got it tarped in the dark and rain, preventing major water damage.
Took the log out the next day.

Some wood samples.

Set that parking brake, park it in gear, and chock the wheels that have weight on them... And it was a professional moving company whose truck came down one steep driveway, crossed the road, and down another steep driveway before reshaping itself around the front of the tree.

Tree time... This bigleaf maple was damaged by fire 15-20+ years ago.
It's been alive and growing, strained and stressed, for this time. It's slowly dying.

The left side died two years ago. This year, small leaves in the upper crown on the right. New growth sprouting from the base, most easily supplied by the roots.

Fungal decay in the roots and butt of the tree.

This will become a Wildlife Habitat Snag, branches mulched for other trees' root zones, cycling nutrients back into the soil, and hopefully some great spalted lumber.
