Working on Tight City Lots
Block text
Space is the constraint. A removal on a city lot usually means lowering the tree in pieces because there is nowhere to drop a stem, and getting equipment in may mean a gate, an alley or a neighbor's driveway. Knowing that before quoting is most of the job.
Regular pruning keeps limbs off roofs and clear of service lines. Cabling and bracing supports older trees that still have years left in them, and stump grinding deals with what a removal leaves behind in a small yard. Where a tree is failing to a pathogen and not to weather, that is plant health care.

Trees, Construction and Liability in the City
Block text
City lots change hands and get built on. Pre-construction advisement counts for most where a foundation, an addition or a new driveway is going in within reach of a root plate — that damage surfaces years afterwards, long after the contractor has finished.
A tree health assessment gives you a written read on a tree you have inherited or are thinking of buying, and liability consulting addresses the one leaning over a public sidewalk or a neighbor's roof, where the real question is who carries the risk.
