Technical Rigging with Ropes
Some trees can't just be dropped. They're too close to the house, too close to the wires, or squeezed onto a lot where there's no room for a section to land wrong. That's when we bring in technical rigging — lowering the tree piece by piece with ropes and rigging hardware instead of letting gravity make the decision.
How It Works
Our climbers go up the tree itself, cutting it down in controlled sections. Each piece is tied off, lowered on rope, and guided to the ground exactly where it needs to go — not where it happens to fall. It's slower than a straight drop, but it's the only safe option when you've got a house eight feet away, a fence line to protect, a garden you don't want flattened, or hydro lines running through the canopy.
Where This Matters Most
- Trees growing right up against a house, garage, or shed
- Removals near power lines or other overhead utilities
- Backyards with pools, decks, or landscaping that can't take a hit
- Tight urban and suburban lots with no room for a traditional felling cut
- Jobs where a neighbour's property is close enough to be at risk
Why It Takes a Certified Crew
Rigging isn't something you want a crew winging it on. It takes an ISA certified climber who understands load, rope angles, and how much weight a rigging point can actually take before something breaks loose. We treat every rigged removal like the precision job it is — because a mistake here isn't a redo, it's a claim.
If you've got a tree that "can't come down the easy way," that's exactly the kind of job we're set up for.
