Tree surgery project in Walthamstow

Step 1: Preparation of the equipment and tree in question

Chainsaws, scissors, ropes and ladders were brought in the yard and positioned conveniently. The team cut down the smaller branches on the lower stem, so the climbing tree surgeon could seamlessly climb and reach higher.

Step 2: Climbing the tree

The equipped specialist started climbing and removing branches on his way up, while the helper on the ground safely collected the green waste generated.

Step 3: Reducing the crown

As the tree surgeon reached the top, he started to reduce the crown down. His helper kept on picking up branches on the ground. Bigger branches were carried the way down via ropes.

Step 4: Cutting the branches and gathering the generated waste

When the tree surgeons in Walthamstow were done with the crown, both of them got to chop all branches and collect them in bags.

Step 5: Final clearance of the site

Using rakes and a leaf blower, the two professionals gathered the smallest wood bits at the side of the lawn, so that they can be collected, too. In the end, when everything was cleared out, they packed the equipment, confirmed the results with the owner, and left.

Challenges:

The tree was right next to the fence and the tree surgeon had to be careful not to drop branches in the neighbours’ yard. Well, we did let one out, but the work-from-ground guy quickly picked it with the telescopic scissors.
