What happens here
With the tree's canopy significantly reduced, the arborist in the aerial lift begins to cut the main trunk into smaller, manageable sections. Each section is carefully cut using precise chainsaw techniques to ensure a controlled fall. Ground crew members are vigilant, coordinating with the arborist to guide the falling sections and immediately move them out of the work area to prevent accumulation and maintain safety. This systematic approach ensures that the trunk is removed segment by segment until only the stumps remain.
Goal: Reduce the tree trunk to ground level in controlled sections
