TREE REMOVAL...       

Our climber skillfully cuts the upper most portion of the trunk. Once he has cut through. the crane will lift it over the electrical lines and place it in  a truck for removal 

           This process is  the simplest. If there is enough room to avoid  making contact with anything. The first step is to determine the direction the tree needs to go. Every Tree is different.You must judge the height and lean of the tree and factor this in with other elements. Such as wind and  obstacles. This process is not used in close quarter removal.

This process is the most common For tree removal. It invovles A highly skilled individual that is trained in climbing , cutting  , knot tying and and proper lowering methods using rope. When starting up the tree the climber will have a lanyard .  This is a device  that hooks to the saddle or harness on both sides it wraps around the tree one time. This is to keep the climber  secured to the tree. He will also have 1 rope about 150' for lowering and repelling. On his way to the top he will remove any branches that do not need to be lowered by rope. And often times if there is a branch  in close proximity  to a branch that needs to be lowered . He will cut and lower it. After reaching the top. He will "tie himself off" if there are branches that still need to come off. If there are no branches the climber will  cut the top out. Depending on the circumctances , the remainder of the tree will be cut  in pieces, ranging from 1' to 25'. 

Our climber in the top of a pine tree. He has already delimbed it, and is preparing to cut and lower the top.

There goes the top.

Notice the rope.The top is being safely lowered to the ground .

Next comes the lead. If  There is access  for  the log loader, the pieces will be cut in 16' sections. And the wood will be sold for timber. If there is no access the logs will be cut small enough to be removed by hand.

Once the tree is on the ground. The crew will dispose of the brush, limbs, and non usable logs, by feeding them into the chipper. This will turn everything into mulch .

We will measure the logs and cut them into the required lengths for sale. These logs will be turned into various products such as paper, lumber, and fuel wood.
