Out on a Limb Tree Solutions

Out on a Limb Tree Solutions Dan Thornton got into tree work to help people with their tree concerns. In addition, we intend to be a blessing and encouragement to others.

It may be aging or dangerous trees that need to be pruned or removed; or prize trees that need proper pruning to enhance their beauty and strength, thus increasing property values. It is our purpose to work deliberately and safely to prevent personal injury or property damage.

This was a challenging and fun project. Very tall tulip poplar stem (70') was leaning over power drop and toward house. I possibly could have climbed it but it would have been difficult to climb high enough to cut pieces to clear the electric line. So I set two rigging lines from the ground, then cut off the base and hung the whole tree. Amanda pulled the base of the tree sideways to change its orientation 90-degrees. Then we lowered it into the driveway. All went according to plan.

This video was from a trip we took a few years ago to help some folks in Kentucky who had received damage from a major flood. This was my (Amanda) first disaster relief trip (something I had wanted to do for many years) and my first opportunity to do some tree work. I realized this was a skill I could use to help others in the future who would find themselves in similar circumstances…and it was FUN! I was hooked.
After that, Dan became a great (very patient) teacher and helped me learn more about the arborist life. When I first started, I there was no thought of it being an actual job…but here we are 😊 They say if you find something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life…and this is something we love ♥
