Top the trees across the street for my view

 Can't see the ocean so I cut the trees across the street. Its not my property but who cares?

My car needed more room, so move over Redwood tree

 This one just boggles my mind.

Need to widen the driveway for my new compact truck.

I want them all the same - Platanus topping

 Encountered this at a remodeled mall. 

Really got to wonder WTF is wrong with people?

Nice end reduction on Monterey Cypress

So this guy told me that taking off all the branches along the dying tree will keep it strong and upright.

 

Topped Eucalyptus - That should work

Someone did this every year. Just needs a basal cut, but the clean up is too expensive.

 

Slippery slope - thin - stub cut, basal cut

Neighbor was afraid of the tree dropping branches during a storm, so they thinned it out (lion tailed actually) which of course caused branches to drop so they had the ends cut off, and thinned more, then another storm came dropping more, resulting in this.

High end pruning on a Quercus agrifolia

Hired the right guy for the right price. Why does this happen when I prune large branches he asks?

Just waiting for a nice strong wind to self prune the rest.
