Tree Pruning

[islandee]

I've just run off the local tree butcher, with his machete in hand. My wife had hired him to do some nominal tree trimming. He's done his damage here before and I don't want more of it.

Has anyone had a good experience with any business in the Chiang Mai area that is equipped to prune large trees (long ladders, ropes, saws (not machetes), etc) --- and can do so to Western standards (with thought to the structural integrity of the tree; knows to undercut a vertical cut to prevent stripping out bark 'downstream', properly dressing cuts, etc)?

I'm a certified arborist from the US, but retired and only doing consulting and small projects for friends; I'm not geared up for big trees anymore.

I've been looking for an outfit to recommend, so I hope you get some good replies to your post.

I would be happy to take a look at your project (no charge) and help you determine what is needed and help you try to find someone to do the job. I sent you a PM with my phone number. Don
