HOW WE GET WAY UP THAT TREE

I specialize in spike-less climbing, because the trees pruned are going to be healthier when I’m done… not wounded by spike holes. We will not spike (Gaff or Spur) up your precious trees unless they are going to be removed. Be weary of a climber that insists on using spikes or gaffs as these undoubtedly injure the tree that they are working to make safer and healthier.

FORESIGHT

Often urban foresters are all too quick to tell you a beautiful tree “needs to be removed” in the interest of paying employee wages, salespeople and equipment loans. If it is practical to keep your trees while reducing the risk they pose to you and your property, we will explore options such as pruning to lighten the canopy of trees, removing dead limbs and cabling and/or bracing trees to decrease their chances of falling. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

I have chosen to operate with less overhead (minimal staff) than the other companies, hence I will not send a salesman out to give you an estimate, rather, I will consult with you myself. When you are happy with my work, you will tell your friends. If the job is big, I will work with other highly qualified arborists to finish in a timely manner and still save you money because of my low overhead. SAFETY

For our safety and that of you, your guests and pets, we embrace strict safe work standards provided by OSHA and ANSI. I also carry full liability insurance.

Dead. Old. Gnarly.

You could tell from the outside that this tree had been around for a long time. The trunk was covered in knots, scars, and twists from decades of growth, weather, and who knows what else.

This removal was mostly about one long, deliberate cut with a few adjustments at the base until everything was lined up just right. Once it finally hit the ground, the underside didn't disappoint — revealing even more twisted grain and character.

Trees like this are always interesting. Every knot, bend, and scar tells part of the story, and this one had a lot of stories to tell.

A satisfying old tree to bring safely to the ground.

A few more frames from last week up at Severance Lodge (too good not to share!) from our good friend, Paul Kurnick.

This one had that classic Maine jobsite rhythm... quiet mornings, steady work, and a backdrop that almost makes you slow down whether you want to or not. Paul documented the crew moving through the property, catching those small, real moments in between the heavier lifts and cuts.

Nothing overly staged here — just the job as it actually looked: gear moving through the trees, decisions happening in real time, and a setting that does a lot of the storytelling on its own.

Always a good reminder that the environment is half the story on jobs like this.

A look back at one from last week... Tight space, trees right up on the house, and a crane that made all the difference.

This wasn’t a “big open yard” kind of removal. Everything was close — rooflines, siding, the whole situation. Instead of trying to piece it down in a tight footprint, we brought in the crane to lift sections cleanly out over the structure. It made a huge difference in keeping everything controlled and, most importantly, safe.

On the ground it was still all about patience with small, deliberate cuts, constant communication, and making sure every piece was ready before it ever left the tree. The crane does the heavy lifting, but the precision still comes from the crew dialing in each cut.

Ian captured it all, and he did a great job showing how much coordination goes into making a job like this look smooth.

Hey Everyone, Eli here. Another round of work from Severance Lodge in Lovell, Maine.

This one involved removing 5 ash trees, a maple, and one pretty rough-looking white pine. The tricky part was the retaining wall directly behind the work area — tight access and not a lot of room to work with.

Doing this the old fashioned way would not have been very fun, so we brought in the boom crane and took everything piece by piece. Some of the picks were over 4,000 lbs, so every cut and every lift had to be planned carefully.

Definitely a tight setup, but the crew made it happen!

A look into the world of climbing arborists.

Nick high in the canopy, moving through the tree while setting safety lines, prepping rigging, and trimming limbs piece by piece from above. This side of tree work takes a different level of focus — constantly balancing movement, positioning, rope systems, and precision cutting all at once.

A lot of people see the tree come down. Fewer get to see the skill and planning that happens up in the canopy before it ever does.

A few behind-the-scenes clips from the crew taking down a couple large trees 🌲

This one was shot by Eli and Ian and gives a little glimpse into the process, communication, and movement that goes into jobs like these. Big trees, tight work zones, ropes, saws, equipment, and a crew working together to get it done safely.

Always cool to step back and capture the work from a different perspective!

One thing we’ve always believed in is showing up with the right tools for the job 🌲

Whether it’s technical removals, shoreline work, storm cleanup, or large-scale projects, having dependable equipment helps us work more efficiently, more safely, and with less impact on the property around us.

Still hard to beat the feeling of seeing the truck cleaned up and ready for another week in the woods.
