Laying out the job ahead of time
We walk the site and decide where each piece will land and who stands where. Drop zones get marked so nothing ends up on the house or in the crew's way. Each person has a role, so nobody is standing under a limb that is about to move.
We agree on signals for the ground team and the climber before the work begins, because nobody can hear a shouted warning over a running saw.
Treating every line as live
We treat overhead power lines as energized for the whole job, and we keep the required clearance from them. If we can't do the work safely at that distance, we stop and contact the utility before going any further.
Don't assume a line is dead because the power is out, and don't let anyone talk you into starting the work early. If a line is close to the tree, tell us when you call so we can plan around it.
Staying tied in and protected
The climber works on a work-positioning lanyard, which holds him in place so he can make cuts without leaning out over nothing. Everyone on the crew wears a hard hat from the moment we start work.
Rockledge has a hot climate with long cooling seasons, so we're often working in heat. The gear stays on regardless, including on short jobs.

The Job, Done Right

Some of what that looks like in the field:
- Plan the work, felling direction, drop zones, crew roles, and communication signals before cutting.
- Treat overhead power lines as energized and maintain required clearance; contact the utility if work cannot be done safely at that distance.

Common Questions
Permit rules vary by city and tree species or size. Many municipalities require permits for trees above a certain diameter or protected species. Check local ordinances before work begins to avoid fines; the tree service can often advise on requirements.
Pruning costs range from $75 to $1,500. Late dormant season, just before spring growth, is often ideal because wounds close quickly and pests are inactive. Avoid trimming during leaf-out or fall color change when the tree is stressed.
The rule is a safety guideline: maintain a 5-foot exclusion zone around the sawyer, keep bystanders at least 15 feet away from the tree, and clear a 90-degree escape path opposite the planned fall direction. Proper planning reduces struck-by injuries.
