Tree Removal

There are many reasons why a tree should be removed from your property, but it can be a complex process that should be left to a trained professional.  Trees near houses or other structures are some of the most hazardous removals and a situation where precision/accuracy is imperative.

Whether you are looking to have a tree removed that is posing a threat or simply for aesthetic purposes, the crew at Splintered Forest has industry leading equipment and the experience to safely and efficiently remove any tree.  Splintered Forest is fully insured for in the event of any property damage occurring, has a valid workmen’s compensation policy in the unlikely event of an accident and carries all the required licensing. 

REASONS WHY A TREE SHOULD BE REMOVED

There are many reasons why a tree should be removed.  Some reasons include the tree:

• Is dead or dying
• Is leaning towards a home, garage, business or other structure
• Is growing too close to a structure (also pertains to the roots)
• Is unhealthy or diseased
• Has structural problems or internal decay
• Has been severely damaged in a storm
• Is no longer aesthetically pleasing or is blocking a prized view  

In some cases, postponing the removal of a tree can be risky.  A tree can spread diseases and infestations to other trees/plants; dead or dying trees are a liability if they fall or lose a limb; it can be a violation of municipal or homeowners association codes and it can have a negative impact on property values.

BENEFITS OF USING A KNUCKLE BOOM CRANE FOR TREE REMOVALS

There are many factors that can make it difficult and/or dangerous to remove a tree utilizing traditional removal methods including a tight working space, no drop zones, extreme tree decay or power lines known as Close Structure Tree Removal. To help safely and efficiently complete these removals, Splintered Forest has two in-house knuckle boom cranes and operators certified with the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) to complete the job.  

There are many benefits to utilizing a crane on your next tree removal project, including:

• Less of an impact to your yard and landscaping
• Quicker and more efficient than standard removal practices
• Ability to relocate materials across properties easier and faster 
• Ability to remove hazardous trees that may not be able to be felled or climbed
