A Tree Hazard Assessment Was the First Step to Property Safety
Oak trees are dense, heavy hardwoods, and a mature one carries significant weight even after it has fallen. That made evaluating the fallen tree for potential hazards the team’s first priority. They conducted a detailed tree hazard assessment, considering the tree’s weight, lean, and position relative to the fence and shed.
Because the fallen tree had been uprooted and already inflicted storm damage on the fence, any mishandled cuts could compromise the shed or neighboring properties. They couldn’t undo the existing damage, but they could prevent any additional harm.
With that in mind, the team worked from the outer limbs inward toward the trunk, cutting and removing smaller sections first to reduce the overall load and improve visibility. Rigging was used on the larger trunk sections to control their descent and ensure they landed as planned.
Why Emergency Tree Services Can’t Wait
Storm damage creates urgency that most tree work does not carry, and calling for emergency tree services the same day as the storm is not an overreaction. A fallen tree across a backyard is an active hazard. In this case, secondary damage was a real risk, including structural pressure on the shed or complications if another weather event were to move through before the tree was removed.
