Cutting down two trees, removing stumps and disposing of everything was the job for today in Nijmegen. A winding willow and a multi-stemmed hazel. I broke the winding willow into small pieces using climbing techniquess. Small pieces means; safe. The risk increases with large pieces. Especially close to vulnerable things such as buildings.
Everything has been removed. The branches through the chipper in the trailer. Then there will be little left of a large mountain of branches and entire trees will fit in my trailer. The trunk is sawn into small pieces and placed in the trailer first. On top of that, the branches are then shredded.
The customer helped a lot with preparing the branches behind the chipper. Helping out makes a significant difference in costs. The customer also cleared the stumps of paving stones and clinkers so that the stump grinder does not break, which can happen when hitting stones.
The pollarded willow that had to be removed.
The hazel that had to be removed.
Carefully and safely breaking down the winding willow. First the foothills. Then cut the trunk into small pieces.
The handsaw allows for more controlled work than the chainsaw. So if the branches are not too thick, and care must be taken, using the hand saw is a good way. That's why I often use the hand saw when tree pruning.
The hazel used to be here. After removing the stump, a mixture of wood chips and soil remains. A layer of sand can now be placed on top for the new tiling.
And here stood the winding willow. After removing the stump with the tree stump grinder. Ready for the new terrace.
