<\/a>Precision Felling<\/strong>
\nWhich way will a tree fall?\u00a0 The way we want it to.\u00a0 For safety, we rope up any tree that could create problems during cutting, using come-alongs to influence the direction of the fall.\u00a0 This safety measure, combined with proper cutting technique, ensures that the tree falls where we want it to.<\/p>\n

We have used these techniques to fell hundreds of trees that would land on a house if they fell the wrong way.\u00a0 We also use these techniques to land trees on the ground in narrow alleys in the middle of the woods.<\/p>\n

There may be some trees close to homes that will be beyond our abilities \u2014 trees that would require cranes or workers in cherry-pickers to take down safely.\u00a0 If you have such a tree, we will suggest you hire a tree service with heavy equipment to deal with it.\u00a0 But there are many jobs we can do that will save you hundreds of dollars over a traditional tree service and will leave a much lighter footprint on your land.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Selective Thinning<\/strong>
\nMy experience on my property and many others in Chatham is that we often have too many trees, and often the wrong ones.\u00a0 When the canopy is crowded, trees struggle to grow.\u00a0 This is largely because most of our woodlands have regenerated in the last 50-80 years, and have never been managed.\u00a0 In selective thinning we open up the canopy for the strongest trees by taking out the weakest.\u00a0 When we are finished, you don\u2019t notice that a few trees are gone; the woods will look a bit more open than before, but natural.<\/p>\n

\"woodscapers-firewood2\"<\/a>Firewood Harvesting & Cutting<\/strong>
\nIdeally, your firewood harvesting will go hand-in-hand with a selective thinning program.\u00a0 Our goal is to make as much use of the trees that we cut as possible.\u00a0 WoodScapers will cut firewood to your desired length, haul it out of the woods for you, and stack it.<\/p>\n

Pruning<\/strong>
\nBranches hanging over your house or creating other hazards… dead or diseased limbs… crowded or rubbing limbs… Whatever the reason, if we can get into the tree\u2014and chances are we can\u2014we will prune it for you.\u00a0 Safely and cost-effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
