Having two enormous compromised Siberian Elm trees looming over this farmhouse and barn, has been a constant threat to all we have tried to save which is both historic and precious. After losing a corner of the uninsured greenhouse glass, it quickly became a priority and we were lucky to have the most capable company honor a 2 1/2 yr. old estimate and come quickly despite the ground being a bit too soft for an eight ton crane. What a great job T & T Tree Service has done, finishing the day before a hurricane/tornado storm here with 95 mph winds and rain!
It took two days, an enormous crane, and six professionals to do this wondrous work for us.
Large branches were lowered to the driveway side of the barn to have smaller parts put into a chipper; then bundled and hauled back over the barn roof by crane to pile for cutting and splitting we'll do. All trucks were expertly maneuvered past a lovely old Sycamore branch in the drive.
The day before work began, we built plywood and 2" X 4" covers for eight barn skylights. All looming (some dead) branches above them are now gone. Whew.
