Tree Removal Rochester NY – The Science And Art of Tree Removal in Rochester

Again, please do not try tree removal at home by yourself.

Definitely not recommended, even for the DIY enthusiast.

Not only do we see tree removals as part science, but we also see tree removals as a piece of art.

Because every project is different, it requires a different type of dynamic with different tools and equipment.

So in that sense, it feels like an art.

Plus, we are so passionate about trees and nature that we see it as part of our art project.

With that being said, here’s how our Rochester Tree Removal crew can help you out with your tree removal:

Our Tree Removal Process

Step 1:
Tree Analysis and Inspections:

Our tree expert will make initial inspections of the trees and the surrounding areas looking for the health of the tree, the structure and the structure of its root system.

We’ll also look for any kind of decaying or issues of the tree to make sure we the branches while climbing are stable and balanced.

Step 2:
Construct a tree removal strategy:

We’ll have a conversation with the property owner of a customized plan and what their desire outcome is for the tree work.

We also come up with a plan to use harnesses to lower top portions of the tree once they are cut down.

We can also use a crane if it is required for taller trees.

Step 3:
Prepare the property for Tree Removal

We’ll then prepare the site for the tree removal including making a path around the tree for transporting the parts after we have cut down the branches.

We’ll also clear the area for safety reasons.

We then make sure other areas of the site are protected such as gardens, furnitures, patios, pools, etc.

Step 4:
Safety Checks Prior to Cutting

We have a bunch of safety checks in place before we cut a single branch:

• Safety Glasses
• Gloves
• Cables
• Tree Health Check
• Hard Hats
• Protective Pants
• Harnesses and Saddles
  And More

Since we’ll be lowering branches using harnesses and cables, it’s a very important process in the tree removal project.

As we climb the tree with our cables, we also have our chainsaw that’s attached to our belt and we use it to cut down the parts of the tree for easier tree removal.

Step 5:
Repeat Until Finished

We climb, cut, lower the cut down parts and repeat until the entire tree is gone!

When at the top of the tree, we will either lower the parts with our harnesses or let them fall down, depending on the situation.

We also have safety checks in place for our chainsaw, which is held in place with a cable, in case we accidentally loosen our grip on it.

If we feel like the ground below is prone to damage or there are items on the ground floor that might get damaged, we’ll tie up the tree parts and bring them down slowly using a harness and cable and have the crew down below operate the pulley system.

Tree Trimming and Tree Pruning in Rochester

While we are cutting down the tree, we’ll strategically leave some branches in place so we can use the branches as stepping platform to get up to the peak of the tree.

If we remove all the branches at once without any thought, the tree may become unbalanced and can cause hazard to the area below, so we must plan out how we will be cutting down the branches.

As our tree cutter starts from the top and cuts down the sections, branch by branch, we’ll remove any of the leftover parts.

Once finished, we should be left with just the stump and the underlying roots of the tree underground.

And if the property owner also wants the stumps removed, we’ll have this arranged with the property owner as well.

Why You Must Use a Professional Tree Removal Company

Since there are a million things that can go wrong with tree removal, you have to leave it to the experts.

• Some of the things that can go wrong:
• Falling while climbing
• Injury
• Branches falling on people
• Misuse of equipment
• Electrical hazard
• Property damage
  And more.

We don’t mean to scare you, but the truth is, these things are a high possibility if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Not only do you need the expertise, but you also need the proper equipment and know how to use the equipment so that you don’t injury yourself with these powerful tools.

Summary for Removing Trees

A good tree removal project takes strategic planning, inspection, analyzing, and also a team that is highly trained for a job to be completed safely and efficiently.

You shouldn’t try removing a tree by yourself because it comes with so many risks that it’s not worth it.

Our Process of Cutting Down Larger Trees

When we said we don’t recommend taking down trees by themselves, we definitely mean it when we say we don’t recommend taking down BIG trees by yourself.

Bigger trees are much more complicated than smaller trees and requires more precision, planning, and sometimes more equipment and people.

There are many things that can go wrong such as the tree swinging in the wrong way, falling the wrong way, slipping and falling and others.

Removing the Entire Tree

Once a member of our crew examines the tree and the structure, we’ll make a decision to see if it’s better to cut the entire tree down at once, or if it’s better to cut it up into sections.

For this to happen, the area below needs ample space for the branches to fall, and for us to take down the entire tree at once, we need space for the tree to be laid down horizontally.

But this isn’t the case, because most homes don’t have this kind of space and we will most likely need to cut it party by part.

When cutting a smaller tree, we will decide the safest path the tree should fall towards.

The side the tree should fall towards is normally the side where the tree is slightly leaning towards, or which side has fewer branches or which side is the safest with the most space.

We will also make several safety checks, making sure to inspect decaying branches which may lead to slips or preemptive falling of branches.

At the time of the tree removal, we will wrap a rope and cable around the tree and direct the path of the tree’s fall.

Then we will commence cutting down the tree.

We’ll do this by sawing a wedge on the side, on the side we want the tree to fall towards, and we also saw another cut on the opposite direction.

We’ll also place smaller cuts in other places if we see them necessary.

Removing Trees in Sections

The larger the tree, the more planning we need in order to cut it down.

We’ll use a cable to tie around the tree and start to trimming the branches starting from the top.

And after we trim the branches, we’ll lowered ones that are cut down with a rope.

In order for us to have the branches fall in the right direction, we need to be able to make precise cuts of these branches.

The person on the ground, called the groundsmen will be guiding the rope so that the tree parts can be moved down safely.

For even larger trees, a crane is an option so we can speed up some of this process and we won’t need to actually climb to the top.

If we need to use the crane or not depends on the tree, the species and of course the size of the tree.

For us to determine if the crane is needed, we need enough room for the tree and also the crane to operate in so we need an area of around 200-450 square feet.

We would use the crane to get our tree specialist to the top and as the trees are cut and trim, we’ll lower these parts with ropes and pulleys.

We’ll repeat this process, until voila, the tree is removed and you are satisfied with the work!

Cleaning Up and Making the Place Look Brand New

After we’ve finished removing the tree, there will be a lot of twigs, branches and timber leftover.

For bigger pieces of wood, depending on what the owner wants, they can keep for firewood or other wood projects.
For smaller pieces, we can feed it through a chipper and reduce wood mulch.

But whatever the owner wants, one thing is clear:

We will leave the place looking brand new and our customers sometimes rave at how great the place looks afterwards.

Option for Stump Removal

When we finish the tree removal, the stump will be left over and the owner has the choice to either remove it or leave it in place.

If they want stump removal, we can grind the stump down to the height the owner wants so that it will not be visible.

If you want the stump for aesthetics or functional purposes such as using it as a table or chair or landscape design, then we can leave it there as well.

But of course, we can remove the stump completely if you want and for smaller trees we can even use a shovel to remove the stump and the roots.
