Red Oaks West Tree Service headed by Adrian West removed two giant old trees from our new yard. Their bid was right in line with other firms but they use a crane and they had the two trees taken down in a matter of a few hours rather than all day or over a couple of days. No damage to the foundation of the house because of the weight of the tree limbs, the trunk and limbs can be moved directly over to the truck staging area for disposal, minimal debris (some small piles of sawdust), proper safety equipment used and protocol followed-what's not to like about this form of tree removal? We're very happy with the job they did and would happily call them again for future work and to recommend to others.
The corner tree had trunk, trunk, trunk, then large extending branches that mostly towered over neighboring yards. You can see it's taller than the utility pole. Plus this particular tree had been cut previously and had grown around the old cut stump as shown below.
This second tree is an ash that was partially dead and had also been previously cut and had grown around the old cuts. The tree also had some major branches hanging over the driveway of the neighbor to the west. We just thought it would be prudent to take down both trees before they came down on their own due to weather or other factors. There's maple in between the two that's in good shape and it's staying.
They tie the crane hook to anchor the branch or trunk section and then they cut that section away from the tree.
Then the crane lifts the section over to the staging area to be cut into manageable chunks for the chipper. Notice the safety gear-these guys were really prepared and careful.
Here's the crane bringing over a section of trunk that's too big for their chipper and was being taken to green waste with the other big logs.
