Tree Removal

Keith Omer of Pacific Mountain Tree Service (831-338-7565) cut down Big Oak tree in November, chopped the smaller branches and brush into mulch and cut the medium size branches into firewood. He then used a stump grinder to turn the stump into a fine mulch.

Keith staged the larger logs on the relatively flat spot of ground in front of where the new home will be built. My neighbor had some blackwood acacia trees blow down during a severe storm last winter. Keith pulled these trees out with his portable crane and staged them with the oak logs. Finally, Keith pulled out some redwood logs that had been under a brush pile for several years and staged them with the rest of the logs. The stack of logs is now set up for milling.

Keith did a great job. I would highly recommend Pacific Mountain Tree Service for tree removal and getting logs out of tough places.

Goodbye to Big Oak

Well, there has been no interest in adoption of the big oak tree. I'm not too surprised since it would be very expensive to relocate, and the odds of survival were low. I'm having the tree cut down this week, so I said my goodbyes last weekend and took these pics :-(

All of the material will remain on site and serve a purpose. The large branches and trunk will be rough milled and stacked to dry. Eventually this lumber will become finish wood in the new home. The twigs and stump will be turned into mulch.
