A mature beech tree in a  Ridgefield, CT, front yard outgrew its space. Positioned beside the driveway and surrounded by ornamental plantings, every major limb seemed to extend over landscaping the homeowner had spent years maintaining. 

Rather than wait for the tree to become a bigger problem that would need emergency tree service, they decided to have Frank’s Arborcare remove it.

Limited Space Requires a Different Removal Strategy

The homeowner was very concerned about keeping their yard looking neat and preventing damage during tree removal. The crew had to take a more methodical approach to the hazardous tree removal.

This beech’s massive size and position next to the driveway meant that standard tree trimming wasn’t going to solve the problem permanently. It also meant that the crew couldn’t allow the tree to drop freely, so they relied on a sectional removal strategy.   

Bringing in a lift gave the crew safe access to the upper canopy. At the same time, a grapple loader moved large sections of wood to the staging area to avoid unnecessary contact with the lawn. Working one section at a time kept every cut under control and reduced unnecessary movement across the property. 

Stump grinding left the property clean and flat, without anything that could detract from its manicured appearance.
