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
Climbing with Spurs and a Saddle
This process is the most common for tree removal. It involves a highly skilled individual that is trained in climbing, cutting, knot tying, 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 and it wraps around the tree one time. This is to keep the climber secured to the tree. He will also have one rope of 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 circumstances, the remainder of the tree will be cut in pieces ranging from 1' to 25'.

| | | TREE REMOVAL | Felling the Entire Tree
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.

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 to
a saw mill. 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. | | | |
