The job
Start to finish.
01
Heavy limbs were resting on the roofline and rubbing the gutters. As a heritage tree it needed a City of Austin permit and careful, minimal cuts.
02
Two ISA-certified arborists climbed the tree on ropes, with no spikes. They reduced the end weight and lifted the canopy, timing every cut around oak-wilt season.
03
The canopy now clears the roof by six feet and was thinned about 15%. The permit paperwork and before-and-after photos went straight to the homeowner.
