Planning Around the Customer’s Home and Street Sign
When the Top-Notch Tree Service crew arrived, they carefully inspected the dead aspen tree and identified several brittle limbs hanging over the driveway and roadway. The homeowner wanted the tree removed before falling debris damaged the nearby street sign or created dangerous conditions in their front yard.
Because dead aspen trees can break unpredictably, the crew had to plan each cut carefully before starting the hazardous tree removal project.
Another Successful Tree Removal Project Completed by Top-Notch Tree Service
Top-Notch Tree Service started the project by removing smaller, brittle limbs in the upper canopy before cutting into the larger sections of the tree. The crew lowered each section carefully to prevent damage near the driveway, shrubs, and nearby roadway.
Once the crew removed the remaining sections of the aspen tree, they completed stump grinding and cleaned up all debris throughout the front yard and road. The completed project reduced the need for future emergency tree service and storm damage cleanup.
