What Does a Difficult Take Down Look Like?

We thought we’d share some photos from a recent take down so you could see what the process looks like.

Just click on the photos below to step through the process. Notice the many safety precautions we take, including how we tie off the trunk so that it can be gently lowered to the ground. This 120 foot pine weighed several tons. To allow it to fall free would have been irresponsible and dangerous. By using the right equipment to take down this tree, we were able to ensure the safety of the people on the ground and the homeowner’s property, not to mention the lawn. Several hundred pounds of wood falling onto grass does nothing positive for lawncare!

In this case, the tree had been infested with carpenter ants and, although it looked healthy, was dying. As it was only a few yards from the house, there was the real possibility that it could fall and severely damage the home, possibly harming those inside.

Enjoy the photos and call us to learn more if you are worried about removing a tree that is close to your home.
