Tree Removal

It was time to remove four Box Elder trees near our "red" garage that were starting to die and drop limbs. These trees all had a tendency to twist and lean toward the garage, which complicated the removal process. A lot of chain and a come-along anchored at the base of a red pine tree helped adjust the direction the tree fell.



Two trees down on the southeast corner.



The tree on the northeast corner had the most lean toward the garage and the fewest options on where to drop. I had to used my tractor as an anchor point for the come-along.



This photo shows the tree leaning to the right and top heavy toward the garage. Some damage to the rhododendron when the tree came down, but no damage to the garage.



The rhododendrons and azaleas should enjoy the extra sunlight.
