That little strip of wood left in the cut? It’s there for a reason. 🌲

When a large tree is being felled, the cut isn’t just about getting through the trunk. The remaining hinge wood helps control how the tree moves as it starts to fall.

It’s one of those small details that shows why tree work is a lot more about planning and control than simply running a chainsaw.

September has a way of telling on your trees. 🌲

After a full summer of growth, problems can be a lot easier to spot.

A section that stayed thin, branches that never leafed out properly, unusual browning, or one side of the canopy looking noticeably weaker than the rest can all be worth paying attention to.

You don’t have to diagnose the tree yourself, just notice when something looks different from the rest of it.

Trees have a bad habit of growing into fences.

Branches that barely touch today can eventually push on panels, scrape structures, trap moisture, and make future tree work a lot more difficult.

The same thing happens around sheds, retaining walls, pergolas, and other structures.

A little clearance now can prevent a much bigger headache later.

The climber gets the view. The ground crew controls a whole lot of the job.

Ropes, rigging, lowering limbs, managing the drop zone, moving material, watching what’s happening overhead, tree work is a team effort from the ground up.

The person in the tree might make the cut, but good communication below is what helps keep everything moving safely and under control.

There’s yard work… and then there’s tree work. 🌲

Trimming shrubs and maintaining landscaping is one thing.

Working overhead with large limbs, climbing, rigging, technical pruning, and controlled removal is a completely different kind of job.

When the work gets bigger, higher, or more complicated, experience and the right equipment matter.

That’s where CHETS comes in.

Sometimes the right equipment changes the whole job.

Today’s work had us tucked back into a wooded property, using the bucket to work this tall tree down safely and efficiently from the top.

Good access, the right equipment, and a solid plan can make a difficult tree a whole lot more manageable.

That’s why every job starts with figuring out the best way to approach that specific tree on that specific property.

Alright let’s see your giants. 🌲
What’s the biggest tree on your property?

Drop a photo in the comments. Bonus points if there is something in the shot for scale.

We want to see the monsters hiding in backyards around here.

And if looking at yours makes you think, “Yeah… somebody probably needs to deal with that thing,” you know who to call. 😂

Big trees require big decisions.

Not every large tree comes down the same way.

Depending on the property, the plan might be to fell it, climb it, rig it, crane it, or take it down piece by piece.

Access, nearby structures, slope, obstacles, and where the tree can safely go all shape the approach.

Good tree work starts with choosing the right plan before the first cut is made.
