Safety Considerations During Tree Removal

Fts Tree Service follows strict safety protocols to protect people and property during tree removal. Our approach addresses risks related to utilities, structures, traffic, and weather conditions.

We coordinate with utility companies and deploy specialized crews when working close to overhead power lines. This ensures safe operations without disrupting essential services.

To protect nearby buildings and fences, we use rigging and sectioning techniques that control tree removal precisely. This minimizes the risk of damage to adjacent structures.

For trees located near roads, we implement traffic control measures and safety barriers. These precautions safeguard both workers and the public during the removal process.

Tree Removal Duration

We minimize lawn damage by using matting under equipment and planning access routes carefully. Heavy equipment may still impact soil and turf; restoration options are recommended.
