Fallen Trees Leave No Room for Error

A strong storm caused a massive cottonwood tree to fall across the property’s front yard. Part of the trunk and the canopy stretched over the sidewalk and into the street, creating a significant obstacle. 

The tree’s size and weight made the job complex on their own, but the surrounding landscaping and sidewalk meant that the crew needed to take a careful approach to avoid causing further damage. They chose a controlled hazardous tree removal that accounted for the cottonwood’s size and notoriously brittle wood. 

Over the next six hours, the team sectioned the fallen tree’s trunk and limbs into manageable segments. They made deliberate cuts, moving each piece to the staging area for cleanup before starting on the next section. 

Careful planning and steady execution allowed the crew to remove the fallen tree without disturbing the areas that remained intact. After the work was complete, the only sign of the storm damage was the stump that remained. The sidewalk was clear, and the yard was accessible again. The homeowner planned to schedule stump grinding for another visit.
