    The truck has a line tied high up the tree (The straight line in top right corner) to ensure tree doesn't fall on power lines, but it actually pulls the tree over before cutting.

    Good thing the line pulled the tree over. The guy with the chainsaw had no idea what he was doing. That and the fact the video "almost" hid the rope, makes me think this was a planned event.

    Really?

    I see a simple load of top soil and sod in their future after they remove the tree.

    Removing the huge root ball and repair not a simple task, but certainly unnecessary had the job been performed correctly...
