I was watching a fellow tree company take down a huge (at least 6' diameter @ chest height, now this house was just down the street from the the Governor's Mansion here in Atlanta. Uber rich houses and neighborhoods, client, uber rich absolutely stunningly beautiful house and manicured grounds, he wanted this tree gone and no equipment whatsoever on his lawn.....you couldn't get even a Bobcat in there because of the wrought iron fences all over the lawn....what to do?........so, got a 500 ton mobile crane and with one cut at the base, lifted the whole tree onto the adjacent street and cut it up/chipped hauled the logs off.....only took 4 hours...after vacuuming his lawn with several Hoover carpet sweepers (which worked surprisingly great) he cut a check for $15,500! Not bad for a day's work! Lol. :)
