1. Site Assessment: Evaluate the tree’s condition, location, and proximity to structures or power lines. Determine if full removal or selective pruning is needed.

​

2. Obtain Permits (if required): Check local regulations and acquire necessary permits for tree removal or major pruning, especially in protected areas.

 

3. Safety Planning: Identify hazards, set up safety zones, and ensure all workers have proper protective gear and equipment.

 

4. Prepare the Area: Clear the surrounding space of obstacles, vehicles, or valuables to allow safe access and debris management.

 

5. Tree Pruning or Limb Removal: For pruning, selectively cut dead, damaged, or overgrown branches to improve tree health and shape. For removals, start with upper limbs.

 

6. Tree Felling or Sectioning: If removing the whole tree, safely fell it if space allows, or dismantle it in sections from the top down using ropes or lifts.

 

7. Stump Grinding or Removal: Grind the remaining stump below ground level or excavate it entirely if replanting or construction is planned.

 

8. Clean-Up and Disposal: Remove branches, logs, and debris from the site. Offer wood chipping, firewood cutting, or eco-friendly disposal options.
