In Arlington, Virginia, a homeowner noticed their backyard oak leaning closer to the fence with each passing season. Traditional tree trimming might temporarily keep branches in check, but they could grow back. Then, it would take only one fierce storm to damage the home or surrounding structures.
Once it became clear that tree removal was the only option, the homeowner called Dos Amigos Tree Service for help.

Managing Hazardous Tree Removal Near Fencing
This tree removal project required careful planning due to the limited space around the tree. With the tree so close to the fence, any misstep could have caused costly damage. There wasn’t much margin for error, given the tree’s position near the fence.
Larger branches were removed to reduce the risk of contact with the fence, and ropes were used to manage how the tree came down. Because the tree sat close to the property line, the cut at the base needed to direct it to fall away from nearby structures.
From there, they used ropes to control the descent. The trunk was guided away from the fence and nearby structures. Once it was on the ground, the crew cut it into smaller pieces to haul away.
Throughout the process, the crew worked carefully to maintain control over the tree and the surrounding area and avoid contact with nearby structures. This one-time project only took about two hours, but it’s less likely that the homeowner will need to make repairs and pay huge bills if the tree falls on its own. At the very least, they won’t need to call for emergency tree service or deal with storm damage cleanup anymore.
