We have 8 Water Oaks around our house. Last month a tree trimming company that has been caring for these trees for years spent a day trimming the trees, removing the mistletoe and cleaning up all the trimmings which they fed into a chipper to make mulch. By trimming the trees, more sunlight gets through and we actually have grass growing under a few of the trees where there was none. They had a "cherry picker lift" on a truck, they lifted a worker up into the tree and the fellows climbed around in the trees doing their work. If you click on the picture it will be larger and you'll be able to see the guy in the tree.

I don't see Joel out there supervising!
Actually he was out there several times. He learned that each worker had a specific job. There was a 62 yr. old man whose job it was to keep all the machinery running. Some got into the trees, others operated the machinery, etc. They really worked well as a team. And then the leader of the group gave me his contact info because he wants bees on his 200 acres.
