Ash Tree Removal Near Power Lines in St. Paul

Not every tree removal is a straightforward drop-and-chip job. Some of them require you to slow down, think hard, and plan every single step before you touch a saw. This ash tree in St. Paul was exactly that kind of job - large, well-established, and surrounded by power lines running directly through and around the canopy.

Before we fired up a single piece of equipment, we mapped out the entire removal. Every cut, every rigging point, every piece that needed to come down had a plan attached to it. That's not us being overly cautious - that's just what responsible tree work looks like when the margin for error is this tight. Our Leguan 62-ft spider lift gave us the reach and precision to work through that canopy without disturbing the lines.

We worked piece by piece, methodically dismantling the tree from the top down. Each section was rigged and lowered with care. The lines stayed completely untouched throughout the entire job. No drama, no close calls - just calculated, deliberate work from a crew that has done this kind of thing before.

The before and after tells the whole story. Where a large, hazardous ash once crowded a tight backyard and wove through utility infrastructure, there's now a clean stump cut and open sky. The yard is safe. The lines are fine. The property is better off. That's the outcome we're after on every single job we take on.

Jobs like this are actually where we do some of our best work. Tight spaces, difficult surroundings, utility lines - those factors don't make a dangerous tree any less dangerous. They just make the planning more important. If you've got a tree that seems too complicated to remove safely, that's exactly the kind of puzzle we're built to solve.
