I've watched those guys climbing and using ropes to lower the branches
and I wouldn't do that job for all the boats in Michigan. I have a city

so that reduces the danger a lot. In fact, thats what they used when
they took out the poplars.

Same here...treecutter has his own personal cherrypicker, and was up
