Acer Macrophyllum - Big Leaf Maple Removal

Acer Macrophyllum or Big Leaf Maple. Our Pacific Northwest Maple is the largest of the species. We were honored when the University of Washington called us to remove this historic tree from the grounds after it failed and almost fell through Hansee Hall.
After an informative safety meeting, Peter, Arne and Russell head out to take down this future catastrophe, a fact discovered once the tree was down. If you catch the clock on the wall, you'll see the time of day when the safety meeting ended and the time the tree was on the ground. Did you notice how long it took?

Nice job fellas that was cool. I didn’t know. Big leaf maple was the biggest maple species!

Another nice removal job. Thanks for the reminder on the chippers and how shrapnel could possibly come back towards you.😉👍

Bro! I want to come climb with you on one of these jobs! Being able to just smash shit down and have the grapple vacuum it all up has got to be so much fun! Love how you were stacking your butts out even though there was no chipper🤣

It drives me crazy when a manager puts on a fake happy voice.

Nice job. It’s no a species that we have here in the UK - is it really brittle,? It does not seem to hinge well
