Cutting down two very tall trees in Oosterbeek

Today in Oosterbeek. Two very tall Norway spruces. Unfortunately, the little letterpress beetle has also taken these trees. One tree was already completely dead. The other very bad.

Today in Oosterbeek. Two very tall Norway spruces. Unfortunately, the little letterpress beetle has also taken these trees. One tree was already completely dead. The other very bad.

A windy day. Extra exciting to climb a thin, tall dead Norway spruce.

When I arrived at the top, the wind had increased to such an extent that I had difficulty standing steady before sawing off the top due to the swinging of the tree.

Moreover, there was a vulnerable tent under the trees and there was only a small spot to expose all the branches and trunk parts.

I therefore had to lower the tops on a rope. At the top of the tree I switched to the other tree and safely and carefully cut both trees into small pieces at the same time.

After felling, I used my stump grinder to grind away the stumps to a depth of approximately 20 centimeters. More than enough to cover with tiles or to create a garden. The remaining roots slowly rot away.

Below is a photo report of the work.
