Two mature ash trees positioned along the edge of an open recreational area were blocking visibility and putting the nearby pavement at risk for damage. Although they were healthy, the property owner worried that allowing them to grow unchecked would eventually result in an emergency tree service call and expensive repairs.
Although tree trimming would keep the limbs under control, the roots were also a concern, so with help from General Tree Service, the client decided that tree removal was the best solution. However, the trees’ size and broad canopy made the project more involved than usual.
Two Ash Trees, One Shared Open Space
- Client Profile: Commercial
- Location: Tehachapi, CA
- Type of Service: Tree removal
- Duration: Eight hours
- Service Frequency: One-time project
- Season: Summer
- Tree Type: Ash tree
- Client Preferences: The client requested the removal of two mature trees located along the edge of an open recreational area. Due to the size and spread of the trees, the crew used two bucket trucks to safely access the upper canopy and carefully remove limbs while maintaining a safe work zone around the surrounding pavement and landscape. The project required coordinated equipment operation to complete the job efficiently and safely.
Protecting What Surrounds the Job Site
The property owner’s big concern was the area surrounding the trees. They didn’t want the hazardous tree removal process to affect the recreation space, but the General Tree Service crew was up to the challenge.
From the start, they planned to take a controlled approach to dismantling the ash trees, piece by piece, but the trees’ height and their close proximity required them to bring in two bucket trucks to work on the upper canopy from both sides at once. The dual-truck setup let crew members remove limbs in a coordinated sequence, clearing weight from the top down.
With pavement and landscaping bordering the work zone, every limb drop needed precise placement. The crew established a controlled perimeter around the recreational area and adjusted the rigging and drop zones as each section of the canopy came down. They finished up by grinding the stumps to ensure a safe and clean space.
