Removing trees can be a simple exercise that takes only a few minutes for a small tree to several days for a large specimen that must be taken apart and pieced down carefully. As a full-service tree care company, we are equipped and skilled to handle any tree removal; however, we prefer to examine retention options first. We view tree retention as the desired option, as trees (huge ones) are incredible community resources that provide many benefits. If retention is impossible, we can help remove your tree safely, efficiently and cost-effectively.
The tree that is the subject of this post was one of the largest trees in the neighbourhood, but the owners were not happy with the risk this tree posed. If you click on the image (it will enlarge), you can see that many of the large branches in the crown have experienced significant storm damage. A large cavity at about head height also results from a poor pruning cut.
Removing this tree took two days, with many branches and much of the wood requiring rigging to prevent property damage. Once the crown was removed, placing larger pieces in the yard was possible.
