The Middletown cemetery, board Hired the Green Tree Service team, to remove 12 trees in the interest of public safety and to protect very old, valuable headstones and graves. The hazard trees were diseased and dangerous.
The worst of the trees was a 115-120 foot Ponderosa pine, 4.5 feet on the stump with large limbs from top to bottom. The big tree was on a slope and over multiple grave sites. It took us two days with a lot of climbing and GRCS (good rigging control system) to lower the branches and trunk pieces down safely.
Next, we moved to a large forked black oak with considerable splitting at the crotch of the tree, which required more rigging and climbing. We also removed widow-makers from a large Cedar.
After completing the tree removal work on a slope and around headstones in the cemetery, things speed up a little and my tree service team progressed to the building areas and parking areas, where we cleared large hazard pines, diseased and full of bark beetles.
Start to finish the tree job required 6 of us, an excavator, two dump trailers and a chipper. We off hauled all the rounds and logs and chipped all the brush.
Mission accomplished.
