This was an old Oak tree that we removed.  If you look closely you can see the significant rot in the trunk section near the top of the canopy.  As we removed the tree we were able to track the rot all of the way to the ground.  It is always sad when you have to remove a beautiful tree such as this one.  With that being said, this tree was a candidate for removal due to the significant rot and location in the yard.  Significant property damage could have occurred as this tree continued to decline in health.  Please enjoy the pictures taken by the homeowner!  Thanks Ricky!

This Hack berry tree was removed because of a bad split in the main trunk that occurred after the strong windstorm last September.  The year before we had installed a Cobra cable system in this tree.  The system worked perfect and kept the tree upright preserving the homeowner’s property.  The removal went well.  The two trunks had to be secured together before removal could continue.  We used our Lift-All bucket truck to complete the job.  I was operating the bucket, my brother Dave was in the tree completing the cuts.  Our ground man, Jeff was controlling and chipping the branches as they came down.  These pictures were taken by the homeowner and sent to us via email.  We greatly appreciated the pictures!!  Thanks Myron!!!  Please enjoy!!
