The job

Start to finish.

01

What we found

What we found

A 30-inch post oak had split at the main union in a spring storm. Half the canopy was resting on the garage roof, with more weight hanging over the driveway and a live service line.

02

How we did it

How we did it

Two climbers rigged the hanging leader to the standing stem and lowered it in sections from the bucket truck — nothing dropped near the roof. We tarped the damaged decking that night.

03

How we left it

How we left it

By noon the wood was chipped and hauled, the stem was down to a clean stump and the yard was raked and blown. Photos and a written report went straight to the insurer.

“We called at 11pm with a tree on the garage. They were in the driveway before midnight — by lunch you couldn’t tell anything had happened.”
