The Challenge:
A Leaning Pine and Saturated Soil
Following recent heavy storm seasons in Yankeetown, Florida, a local homeowner faced a dangerous situation. A large pine tree had begun to lean steadily toward their house. Because the area experienced significant rainfall, the ground became completely saturated. This moisture resulted in a compromised root system, meaning the tree no longer had a stable anchor in the earth.
The challenge was clear: the tree needed to come down immediately. However, the lean made it too dangerous for a traditional climber, as any added weight could trigger a fall toward the home.
Our Solution:
Remote Control Tree Removal
To address this high-risk situation, Dusty’s Tree Service deployed the Fassi 390 Grapple Saw Truck. This advanced technology allows for remote control tree removal, which is the safest and most efficient method for hazardous trees.
Dusty operated the crane from a safe distance, using the remote to precisely grip and cut the tree sections. First, the grapple arm secured the crown of the pine. Next, the integrated saw made a clean cut, allowing the crane to lift the debris away from the house without any impact on the structure. This “zero-impact” approach ensured that neither the home nor the lawn suffered any damage during the process.
The Result:
A Safe Home and a Green Finish
The result was a total success. The leaning pine was removed quickly and safely, giving the homeowner peace of mind before the next storm arrived. Once the tree was down, we maintained our commitment to being a 100% green company.
We processed the entire tree into wood chips to be recycled as mulch and compost. Consequently, the property was left completely clean, and the tree debris was diverted from a landfill to serve a new purpose. The homeowner was left with a safe backyard and a pristine landscape.
