Planning Safe Tree Removal
After searching for “large tree removal near me,” the owner explained that they wanted to ensure the team wouldn’t damage their lawn or house.
Arbor Green Tree Service deployed an Effer 225 knuckle boom crane and grapple saw to safely remove the tree section by section. This equipment was ideal for lifting and safely swinging large portions of the tree away from the house and surrounding turfgrass.
Cleaning Up and Leaving the Stump As Designed
The end of the project demanded a precise final cut to leave the stump clean and level at the height requested by the owner. The entire project took about seven hours from initial planning through final cleanup.
The crew used a Morbark chipper and a 25-yard chip truck to remove all debris from the site. By the time they left the property, it was back to pristine condition, and the large stump was ready for the owner’s landscaping ideas.
