CYPRESS SWAMP TREE REMOVAL // CLIMBING TREE CHAINSAW DROP // Deep Water Happy
Tony Vestal, owner of Timber Falls Tree Service shimmied up a dead tree in our cypress swamp. We’d seen him remove trees from our house with a crane after a hurricane, but never while carrying a running chainsaw and climbing the tree.
We caught on to the rhythm of the system; he used climbers with spikes and was harnessed to the tree. He carried two lines; one for himself and one to lower offcuts so that they swung and fell at the base of the tree instead of on our home.
