This Hall Green job was a tall fir tree at the bottom of a back garden that had to come down completely. The three photos show the tree standing, the climber working down the trunk, and the trunk section and stump left on the ground.

Taking a tall fir down in sections

The first photo shows how much taller the fir is than the shed, fences and surrounding trees. With houses on all sides, a tree this size is not felled in one piece. A climber works down from the top, cutting the branches and then the trunk in sections so the pieces can be lowered in a controlled way.

The second photo shows that stage: the branches are already off the upper trunk, and the cut greenery and small logs are on the ground below.

The trunk and stump

The last photo shows a large section of cut trunk lying beside the chainsaw, and the cut surface where the tree stood. Stumps can be left low or ground out, depending on what the garden is needed for afterwards.
