A homeowner in Bethany, CT, needed a tall pine tree removed near the front of their property and worried that its proximity to overhead utility lines would create a serious safety issue, so they called Arbor Green Tree Service for crane-assisted tree removal.
Details From the Tree Removal Project
- Client Profile: Residential
- Location: Bethany, CT
- Type of Service: Crane-assisted tree removal
- Duration: Four hours
- Tree Type: Pine tree
- Season: Spring
- Specific Challenges: The clients had a tall pine tree located near the front of the property. The tree stood close to overhead utility lines, so the Arbor Green crew used extreme caution while rigging and removing each section. Wet spring conditions also required careful equipment placement to reduce impact on the lawn and driveway.
Carefully Planning Around the Close Quarters and Power Lines
Before the crew started the hazardous tree removal process, Arbor Green Tree Service inspected the pine, the nearby utility lines, and the available access points. The crew chose a crane position that gave them enough reach to safely lift sections away.
The soft spring ground posed a real risk of heavy equipment damaging the lawn, so the crew chose a controlled access path to avoid leaving deep ruts in the grass.
How Arbor Green Tree Service Used a Crane To Safely Remove the Large Pine Tree
Arbor Green Tree Service started the aerial tree removal by securing the upper section of the pine before making the first cut. The crew attached rigging above the cut point so the crane could hold the weight of each section.
The crew cut the upper limbs and trunk sections first, then guided each piece away from the utility lines and lowered it into the planned drop area.
After the upper sections came down, the crew continued dismantling the large tree with controlled trunk cuts. The ground crew cleared each piece as it reached the ground, so the work area remained open and safe.
Arbor Green Tree Service finished the professional tree services job by removing the remaining trunk section and clearing debris from the front of the property. The crew followed strict safety protocols throughout the project to protect the home, lawn, driveway, and overhead lines.
