The Types of Kalamazoo Tree Removals

Tree Removal in Kalamazoo can be done multiple ways, and most ways are much more complex than just slicing through the trunk and letting the tree fall. There’s a reason why customers depend on American Arbor for any kind of tree removal, because they know they will always get the best services with our team.

In this month’s blog, we’re discussing the different kind of tree removals our customers require, and why they can always trust us at American Arbor to get the tree removed right.

Felling

This method of tree removal is the traditional one and probably the one that comes to mind when thinking of this service. To put it simply, the tree is cut at its base and allowed to fall in a controlled direction.

It requires a clear, unobstructed space for the tree to fall without causing damage. Experienced loggers use specific cuts, like the undercut and back cut, to guide the tree’s fall.

Seeing the tree come down in one nice swoop is satisfying, but not the only way they’re removed.

Climbing and Dismantling

Unfortunately not all trees can be brought down in one big piece if they’re next to buildings or by other trees. If the tree is in a confined space or near structures, one of our professional arborists will climb the tree using ropes and safety equipment.

They then cut down the tree in sections, lowering the pieces to the ground with ropes or allowing them to fall in controlled areas. This ensures a safe tree removal.

Using Specialized Equipment

Sometimes, the type of tree or the position of the tree makes the use of special equipment necessary for safety of everyone involved. Some examples of specialized equipment used are:

• Bucket trucks for trees with large canopies
• Cranes for moving branches into a designated drop zone
• Grapple saw cranes for hard-to-reach trees that arborists can’t safely climb
