If your tree falls into any of these categories, it requires special handling. Standard tree removal methods won't work safely. That's where our expertise and specialized equipment make all the difference.
Removing hazardous and large trees requires careful planning and the right tools. Here's how we handle these challenging jobs:
We start with a thorough evaluation of the tree, surrounding structures, underground utilities, and potential hazards. We identify the tree's lean, center of gravity, and weak points. We check for hidden decay that could cause unpredictable behavior. We plan multiple escape routes for our crew and map out exactly where each piece will land. This planning phase is critical for complex removals.
For many hazardous trees, we use crane equipment to lift sections safely away from structures. Our climber goes up and cuts the tree into manageable pieces. The crane lifts each piece over your house and sets it down safely in an open area. This method gives us precise control and prevents damage to your property. It's more expensive than standard removal, but it's the safest option for trees in difficult locations.
When cranes aren't necessary or can't access the site, we use sophisticated rigging systems. We attach ropes and pulleys to control exactly how each branch falls. Our crew can lower heavy sections slowly and precisely, even through tight spaces. This technique requires advanced training and years of experience. It's what separates professional arborists from regular tree cutters. For trees that need extra support, we also provide cabling and bracing services.
We protect your property throughout the removal process. We lay down heavy mats to prevent lawn damage from equipment. We install protective barriers around structures, fences, and landscaping. We use plywood sheets to shield roofs and decks from falling debris. If we're working near power lines, we coordinate with the utility company to de-energize lines when necessary. Your safety and your property are our top priorities.
