What is Needed to Remove a Downed Hazardous Tree

Removing a downed tree from a roof requires careful planning and specific equipment to ensure safety and prevent further damage to the property. Here's the essential equipment typically needed for such a task:

Chainsaws: For cutting the tree into manageable sections. Different sizes may be needed based on the thickness of the branches and trunk.

Cranes: In cases where the tree is large or the house is significantly damaged, a crane may be used to lift heavy tree sections off the roof safely.

Wood Chippers: For disposing of smaller branches and debris quickly and efficiently.

Tarps or Plywood: To protect the roof and surrounding areas from debris and to contain the mess.

Utility Vehicles: For transporting equipment and hauling away tree debris.
