😁 Well, after a great weekend away, yesterday on my Bday I had the privilege of removing this tree off a customers home. 💪

I say privilege in this sense because this occurred last Thursday. This was with regard to a tree I had previously quoted for removal. 75% of the canopy failed and landed on the neighbors house in layers.

The homeowner I quoted the tree for told the neighbor they would reach out to me. Unfortunately I was unable to get to it until yesterday, Tuesday the 16th. The customer I quoted the tree for was calling as many contractors to come out to assist the neighbor prior to me being able to get there.

Well, upon looking me up and seeing all the great reviews he was turning away other contractors because he wanted me to do the job. 😎

In the end, when it was all done, he told me he was very glad he waited for me because he was absolutely impressed with our work and the level of rigging skill executed to remove two layered tree canopies off his home without causing ANY further damage.

What a way to celebrate your birthday!! 😊🙏

😊 I love when I get these kind of thank you cards.

When it comes to safely removing failed trees there is definitely a different sort of understanding that is required. Join Nextdoor, an app for neighborhoods where you can get local tips, buy and sell items, and more

Here is a volunteer tree that had grown up next to this retention wall. You can see that it failed on the retention wall side because there was not a root system that could hold it in place.

We were able to methodically remove each section.
Then use the mini skid to pull it off the house and section it down more.
We then stood the entire section up, grabbed it with the mini skid and cut the bottom of the spar.

I was just thinking about this. One of the ways you can make sure you do not get scammed in tree work, especially after damaging storms is to see if the tree company is bonded.

The town of Normal is the only one that requires tree businesses to get a bond but Bloomington residents can benefit from the same assurance by asking if the tree company is bonded in Normal.

This is one way to make sure you are dealing with someone local.
