Beech tree nicely cut down in Rotterdam
A beautiful day in October. Nice sunshine. A large beech tree in a small backyard in Kralingen in Rotterdam. The tree caused a nuisance, took away all light, grew above the neighboring gardens. And this beech would certainly grow much bigger.
That is why it was decided to cut down the beech tree. There was still a lot of greenery along the edge of the garden.
Also a very nice customer who was happy to help. Especially with the clean-up work. Take branches to the chipper. A pleasant change for the customer from his sedentary computer work. A nice collaboration.
And also very pleasant and enjoyable to have lunch with the customer.
Fortunately, all the branches were able to fall freely. By using the correct sawing techniques, even large branches can fall without causing damage. A lot of experience is important here.
The preparation
Up the tree with climbing tracks so that I can stand in the bark and climbing gear with which I am double secured. Safety comes first!
Thanks to my good safety, I can work comfortably with both hands.
The last piece of trunk can fall in its entirety onto the mountain of branches that are now on the ground and protect the tiling under the tree.
Sawing the trunk into liftable parts
My hand stump grinder to grind away the root to a depth of about 20cm. Grass can then be covered over it. Or if desired, you can tile over it.
