Crane-Assisted Laurel Oak Removal After Tree Failure in DeLand, FL
Aggressive Tree Pros completed the removal of a failed Laurel oak in DeLand, Florida after the tree experienced major trunk failure. Years of excessive pruning had contributed to an excessively weighted canopy, while a storm the previous week left the ground heavily saturated and compromised the tree at its base.
With a large portion of the tree already down and the remaining tree requiring removal, Aggressive Tree Pros used a crane to complete the project while minimizing impact to the property’s manicured lawn and pavers.
After the Laurel oak was completely removed, all tree debris was hauled away and the stump was ground.
Years of Improper Pruning Contributed to the Tree’s Condition
According to Aggressive Tree Pros, the Laurel oak had been excessively pruned over the years using what is sometimes referred to as a “hurricane cut.” Aggressive Tree Pros does not recommend this type of excessive pruning. According to the company, homeowners sometimes request severe canopy reduction to allow more sunlight through the tree or to reduce how frequently they expect to have it pruned.
In this case, the history of improper pruning had contributed to an excessively weighted canopy.
A storm had moved through the area during the previous week, leaving the ground heavily saturated. Aggressive Tree Pros determined that the oversaturated conditions had compromised the base of the Laurel oak, while the previously over-pruned and excessively weighted canopy was another significant condition present when the tree experienced major trunk failure.
Using a Crane to Protect the Surrounding Property
Removing the failed tree was only part of the challenge. Aggressive Tree Pros also needed to account for the condition of the surrounding property.
The Laurel oak stood within a beautifully maintained landscape with a manicured lawn and pavers that the crew wanted to avoid damaging during the removal. Aggressive Tree Pros selected a crane-assisted approach specifically to minimize landscape impact while removing the failed tree.
This DeLand project demonstrates how the approach to a tree removal can be determined by both the condition of the tree and the surrounding property.
Completing the Laurel Oak Removal in DeLand
Once the failed Laurel oak had been completely removed, Aggressive Tree Pros hauled away the tree debris rather than leaving the property with the remains of the removal work.
The crew also performed stump grinding to remove the remaining stump and complete the project.
For this DeLand Laurel oak removal, the crane-assisted approach allowed Aggressive Tree Pros to complete the work while minimizing impact to the manicured lawn and pavers. With the tree removed, debris hauled away and stump ground, the project was completed with the crane-assisted approach selected to minimize impact to the surrounding landscape.
