Back Yard Removal in Chi.

[Norm_Hall]

We had a 30" silver poplar removal in Chicago with a very limited landing zone. The tree was located in a raised area on 1 side of a patio.

We planned on lowering the brush and logs onto the garage roof and from there toss it into the alley.

4 X 8 sheets of plywood covered the top of the garage roof. Alley shot.

Fortunately we were able to squeeze the Aerial lift in between the conglomeration of wires and use it for about 2/3's of the brush and logs.

The part that wasn't bucket accessible a climber had to do.

Drop hitching from the bucket with a tag line.

One more of drop hitching.
We used the bucket for most of the trunk. The part that wasn't accessible we did manually. Fun job, alot of hazards and obstructions to deal with.

TK, When I was driving to the jobsite on Wed., I saw 2 KTS trucks on the near NW side(Fullerton and Halsted?).Was that you?

Mark, I love those challenging jobs. We had an excellent Team to remove this tree.

TNT, The stump stayed. The client was gonna put potted plants on it in the summer. We cut it about 10" above grade.

Hey Norm, very professional looking!
It's nice to see all the PPE.

 

[tod_k]

Nope. I've been stuck doing street prunning.

Talk about a tight spot. Nicely done.

It always amazes me, the adverse conditions a tree can put up with.
