To XxxFoxionzxxX, I just wanted say to you and any one else reading this. YOU SHOULD NEVER TOP A TREE!!! Look for other alternatives, like proper drop croching. Think, you should look for a better mentor, Matteck is wrong.
VERY well done! I ran into a problem in my community several years ago when our local power company decided...in its infinite wisdom...to "top" and chop several trees instead of looking at alternatives. I attempted to rally community support against it, to no avail (one Council member told me that "this was the way that they did it when I was a child, etc").
BTW, I am Lindsey's bro-in-law, Bob (Mike's older brother). You are VERY talented. Best of luck!
Of course, pollarding and topping a tree, the tree do not like that! But when it come to roots control next to building, to eliminate the risk of high unsafe trunck failure in a school or critical public zone, if the owners understand that it will be a burden for maintenance to retop every five years, sometime it 's better to keep the tree for the trunck and still the suckers foliage for shade. Matteck told me once, better to top up there than down there! Like in EU
